Hey Fracky, your cam has arrived. Your shift indicator light is on it's way also. You know that I now have to find a new location for your nitrous switch box. It's ok, though, since I have to disassemble your steering column to follow the expanding wiring nightmare.

Saaaaweeetness!!! Are you going to post a picture of the cam? As far as the NO2 switch box goes, will it fit between the tach & speedo on top? I can't say I'm surprised about the wiring & your right about the "nightmare" part. I'm excited to have this issue behind me & on to bigger/better Mini projects.

I wanted these before I met Robert. I ordered several sizes for stock. Your handle should be on its way.

I don't know about that? Think it would drive me nuts . Does it sense redline? Do you have to compute in your redline? It will be cool for your car though . The Frackmobile is way cooler than my car .

Cool! What pedal set are you getting? Hamann makes an awesome drilled set which you'd really dig. Randy T (from M7 Tuning) has them on his car & they're wayyy better than the Hamann ones I have.

Dude, you should get the USS & the inside rear USS. If I hadn't taken a sawzall to my rear seat supports (don't want to talk about it.... ), I'd put this in my car. I think it looks great in Brad's car.

I keep going back and forth, I think I want the USS but I'm not sure. and the one for the rear is the biggest joke there is. IT DOES NOTHING. and you know me I could really careless about how things look as long as they work.
