I'll join Eric in drinking the beer.

Why don't we just throw a fat "Get Campos Runnin'" party and you'll be up and runnin' in 4-5 hours with 10-15 people there.

Now that is one helluvan idea

Step 1. Drink a six pack
Step 2. Drink another six pack
Step 3. Install Aero Kit
Step 4. Drink another six pack
Step 5. Try to install springs
Step 6. Take a nap
Step 7. Wake up and drink another six pack
Step 8. Finally install the springs
Step 9. Realize that in your drunken stooper you installed the front springs in the back and the back springs in the front
Step 10. Drink more and figure it out tomorrow.

You'll end up with your aero kit front on the rear - and rear on the front - you'll have to drive backwards speedily

Don't forget steps 5.5 - 5.8
Step 5.5 See how far empty beer can will launch from compressed spring
Step 5.6 See how far full beer can will launch from compressed spring
Step 5.7 Play 'beerhunter' with can from Step 5.6
Step 5.8 (optional) Trip to emergency room to treat victims from Steps 5.5 & 5.6

Well, I got most of the hard part done today. Pulled all but 3 sections of the main wiring harness. I didnt realize I would need to get under the car to do some of it so I will do that part tomorrow. Putting the new one in will be pretty easy and getting all the rest of the stuff on there will be even easier. Now its just a matter of time before my intake, plugs, and brake rotors get here Ill be joinin you guys in no time!

Factoid - after 2.5 hours of driving around SF, stoplight to stoplight, I still got 30.5MPG (on the OBC - 27.8mpg in real life...)

My OBC said 25.1 But I chalk that up to the fact that I just had my pulley installed and was 'strung-out' on the whine of the SC

The "Supercharger Whine" puts a huge grin on my face. I am still waiting to pick up my MINI (it arrived at the dealer on monday). Everytime I would get depressed waiting for updates on my MINI, I would pull up YouTube and watch MINI videos. As soon as I heard that Supercharger Whine I was good for another few days.
