Mitch - You guys got a hell of a shop. Thanks for the tune. It's running great!

Are you sure you wanted your tuner back?

Hey Mitch, when you get a minute, I need a price on a narrowed S60 rear end, doesn't have to be 4 channel since none of that **** works on my car anyway. I'm thinking 3:42 gears, and I need LCA relocation brackets on it (mine are welded). I'll need Dan to change my gear ratio in the ecm too. I have the Strange driveshaft, I think it will work?

While we're at it, I'm thinking about a tubular K member. I want to lighten this pig up.

Would you guys be interested in removing all the hvac stuff and airbags?

Lastly, although I doubt it'll happen this year, I need an idea what a 4L80E conversion will cost.

Thanks man, shop looks great! I look forward to seeing it in person before too long.

Hey Juiced,
What kind of connection are you on? All our video is flash stuff encoded at a pretty decent rate, so it should look pretty good. What aspect "sucks"? Maybe it's something our guys need to look at.

Thanks!

The video istelf was fine, it was just that when there were close up shots of engines or cars it was really dark on most of them and you could not really see much. Not really a quality issue, more lighting I guess

Anyone else notice the same thing? Besides that it was pretty good.

You're right - the nature of these blogs are just point and shoot... real informal stuff. Sometimes they go dark. It's a matter of shooting under a car or something.

When we shoot episodes for the TV show, we spend hours lighting everything, but the blogs are more "behind the scenes" if you will.

Thanks for the notes!

Thanks Tease, and everyone for the positive feedback - when you have a great interviewee and cool stuff to talk about, these are easy!

I'd love to see your 6-banger go down the track! Keep me posted!

I thought the camera was supposed add like 10lbs? Dan looks like he is getting his race weight down for this year. Very cool blog Kevin. At times I was almost getting dizzy like I was watching the Blair Witch Project. Kinda of a joke between me and the wife about home movies. But it's not hard to make me dizzy. Very cool shop you guy's got there Mitch. Keep up the good work. Vince
