Damn, I wonder if that thing burned to the ground. Any "after" pics?

Hi, my English is not good enough to describe exactly what happened!
We have a Magnussen 2300 TWS mounted to gepoertet heads and Veangance Stage 3 camshaft installed.
actually we should disable the camshaft adjustment, which we did not made, but it was placed only part way still.
This meant that piston collides with the valves, the result was an engine failure, including large fire!
With us we say, close your eyes and go on ......

The piston is chasing the exhaust valve, allowing the cam phaser to retard a cam that closes the valve later is always a bad idea,
I hope you get this mean *** monster back on the track, I freakin' LOVE that car......

Yes, we ship to Canada. TIKT hasn't provided an instruction sheet, but it's not as difficult to trim as the C6 WC wing. You basically have to remove the rear fascia and mount the frame bracket. Then trim the rear fasica where the brackets pass through the fascia. Then the uprights bolt to frame. There is a bracket that bolts to the carbon fiber then it bolts to the uprights. I know that makes it sound easy. The trimming is probably the hardest part. But, you can clay the inside of the fascia and bolt it up to the car. The frame bracket will make an impression on the clay which is where you need to cut.

Great, thanks for the info. One other question I had was whether or not the back will open fully with the wing installed?
It is a LOT nicer than any other wing, that's for sure. The deck mount wings look bad and from what I hear the back wont stay up with them installed.
