Default Lazy *** Cripples

So when I ordered my cam a while back from EPS I had ordered Patriot Extremes. Those were back ordered for like months so we agreed that he'd send me some other springs "made by PAC" that were just as good. Broke one a few months ago and ordered some Extremes. Those ended up taking FOREVER Lingenfelter to get in stock when it was originally going to be 2 weeks. A fellow member on here sent me 2 springs he had to get me back on the road.
Later I found a set of Lunati springs that I picked up locally and just finally found a reason to put them on.

A 2nd damn spring broke. with everyone at work or in school what's a cripple to do?

Park at an incline and man up!

I only did the one side cuz by the time I got done with that my chest was killing me. Will do the other side eventually..... probably when one breaks.

Were both broken springs on the same valve? Seems a little odd.

Just watched one of those crazy police video things and a guy in a wheel chair took down a thief. Pretty awesome. Put him in a head lock and took him all the way to the ground.

haha.. Actually i called my mom and had her come take a pic cuz I was at a friends house and no one was home.

No. broke number 4 last time IIRC and number 1 this time. it's just the springs are ****. The ones I have on it now are the same ones tyler uses and he shifts his at like 7400. I only shift mine at 6800. Of course he's been parked for a long time. lol

It's great to see you not letting anything hold you back. Most people wouldn't even dare to swap out valve springs themselves, much less if they were in a wheelchair. Keep the passion strong, man!
