Ship it or drive it....

Drive it. I've always wanted to do that. Pack a multimeter, ballast, on the way there; and pick up 3 gallons of water, oil, and ATF as needed in a strong container for the trip back.
Man, a spare coil don't hurt! But sounds kinda like a fresh build. Even though my crap is new, I even bought an extra Blue USA ecu for the trunk... when they were in sale fo 40 bucks. Cheap insurance
