Soon as I get a just little bit less than a few thousand miles away from the US, I'll post up some build progress pictures. Lol

I'm amassing parts back home state-side, that way there's very little down-time spent waiting for parts. Just jack it up, and start going to town putting everything in at once.

Thinking about it, because I will be lowering the car a bit with those BMR springs, how do I adjust the PHB? Make it shorter, longer, is there a guage/caliper designed to help with this?

Ah, eye-ball it.

I saw on LS1 forums that a guy tied some string off his fenders, used a socket as a weight at the end, and just measured out from the center of his wheels until each one was even.

Probably what I'll do there. I thought there was a more 'exact science' method about it, but I guess not.

Cool, sounds easy enough. The only thing I'm not totally looking forward to is the LCA relocation bracket install.

I guess you have to cut the e-brake bracket in half or something, and re-secure stuff. Doesn't sound too daunting, but I just don't have a visual to think logically how you tackle it.

-edit-

A friend here onboard had every episode of Megas XLR that was ever aired, been re-watching all if it. Would love to get one of those old flaming eye-ball vinyls made to go over the gas cap lid and have the flames rolling back over the rear fender, lol

-edit-

Link to an old picture from the show.

Either the eye ball, or the eight ball.

I guess Tick Performance is out of every color but black. Oh well, I guess it'll just look normal.

-edit-

Can you use RH side door lock switches on the LH side? The drive side is getting smushy and inconsistent, need to replace soon.

I'll try ordering one, see if it works. Only difference I can see, is the cap is reverse printed. Electrically, I would think they're the same.

I guess because the white printing is on the other side. Huh, didn't think about it.

Well, I ordered two of them, guess my doors will just have passenger side door-lock switches on both.

Looking at tuning options... is TunedByFrost a good place to go for a mail-in tune?
