Ill say yes for the moment but Ill be putting a new roof on my house next week (not sure which days yet). Thats what Im doing today for Cliff (waterman) My LED flashlight shift light has become a hit.. R&D was done last weekend and pinks and the results were good so I may have to start full on production Cant beat it for the $$$ and its the only shift light Ive seen so far that fits behind the vent. Im going to take pics today and make a lil video to put up.

I havent been modding, Ive just been fixing little things I let go for to long. Working on interior right now. replacing bulbs, broken parts, ugly parts, cleaning up wiring etc. Im still messing with that stupid clutch. Its getting better but still not the way I want it to be. Next Ill be polishing my wheels, They look no where near what they were in my sig pic.

There was a Z4 roadster down from my apartment today with black ruff 278's...if I didn't have so many papers due this week I would come back now and get them on. Let me know if you need any help with the car. I should be back Friday afternoon.

I'll keep checking for the video. I'm anxious to see this thing. Gibson said it's bright.

Wheels are on after driving all over the world to find someone to mount them.

What shop stays open until 7-8? Everywhere around here closes at 5...you should know this lol.

Dang ya'll get shot at on the street racing scene? Pretty hostle folks huh?

Hey, I have a quesion for ya'll, does anyone up in your area have experience changing out some springs on heads? My builder (long story) kept the 985 comp springs on the heads and was suppose to swap them with the Comp 918 beehive springs, but found out their lift limit is .600 and mine measured out to be .611.
The builder stated that the Comp 985's were stronger then the 918's for my 383 LT4 set up. I'm looking to push over 400 rwhp when it's all said and done.

The springs I'm going to buy are either the Comp 921's which are good up to .650 lift or the Patriot Golds that are good up to .660 lift. I just don't have experience installing these springs and I don't feel comfortable with the current springs on the heads.
I'm willing to bring the car to whoever and I don't want to have to take the heads off the car to do this if at all possible?
Thanks in advance.

Z'mnypit made one. Works like a charm. We left the heads on mine when we changed the springs.
