Thanks a lot guys, I am running out of the office to go started up for the first time, I just got my huge oil filter (Measure 6.5" x 4.5") so I can put it on and pour oil in it...

I drove the car this morning (without engine cover, rear grills, diffuser, rocker panels or mirrors) to Lamborghini of Palm Beach where they reset the e-Gear by setting the shifting points after the new clutch, also they change the engagement of the clutch to a more aggressive setting.
On the way there I didn't wanted to drive hard but on the way back I pushed it a little and it was jaw dropping the amount of power that this car makes, by far the fastest car I owned yet.
The next stop is the body shop to get the front bumper fitted and repainted.

Thank you guys, I appreciate the credits; it has been a lot of work to make it look and run the way I would wanted.
In the past few days I had replaced the spark plugs as one of the last items on the list to go over, with the help of Jason Heffner I got the right part number and gap specs.






This past Saturday I picked the car up from the body guy who spends three days fitting the bumper properly into the car making the gap around the front, side and headlights all even, he usually takes his time but does a GREAT job! I took the car but he kept the bumper so he can paint it.







I just dropped off the car at Pepe’s vinyl shop; he is on the process of cleaning all of the residues of the old vinyl wrap and will be laying down the new vinyl later this week…




The last addition to the project is to stiffen the suspension as on my first drive on the car it feels like the whole front wants to come off the ground; with the help of my buddy Nick I order stiffer springs for the front and rear, more update to follow.
I just measure the stock springs in order to get the new ones...
