**** shops, **** products, **** customer care = FTMFL!

Back in a college after a long *** double day practice in 110* heat in Sacramento summer, some freshman was whining to the coach about water or some ****, and made some comment about the practice being hard... coach said "Its the hard that makes it great, if it were easy, everyone would do it..." which made a lot of sense, but then he muttered to the guy..."youre a fatboy, that was easy to do, shoving big macs down your piehole...right?" half the team fell out laughing.

ok, back on thread...

I know how you feel, BRP is redesigning most all of their kits because of me, which is great for evryone else, but sucked since I had to modify everything I got from them to work.

yea the more I spend, the farther along I get, the more frustrated I am getting. And of course I'm the bad guy for holding people accountable for their fuckups... LAME.

well from last thursday to today I have inspected the full extent of the wiring I had done at the stereo shop, and I am floored how professional everything they touched has turned out, even in places where they would normally think a person wouldnt look, they did it right...

Got a lot done today...

Simon and I got the tranny back in, driveline, starter, headers, everything underneath bolted up and secure (not the fuel system yet, soon) Starting to come together, wish tomorrow wasnt the 4th, but hopefully we can get back on it Sunday.
I started cutting off the old injector plugs and soldering new ones on, had to get a new iron today, will finish sunday, then the new harness will be installed and the driver box.

Motor looks mean with the headers bolted up, Monday the SC goes in along with the motor accessories - ac/alt/brackets/pulleys.

Jordin (ZR1Dreaming) came by today and hung out for a bit, picked up my old motor and some parts, cool ************... Hope you like your adams polishes stuff...

BTW - If anyone orders anything off there website - I have a coupon code that will give you 15% off of anything - www.adamspolishes.com - use this code -
427LSX I dont make a dime off either, so I shouldnt get in trouble for posting this!

I'll try and take some pics tomorrow.
