Yes sir. Luckily, I don't have long commutes so going FI will just be plain fun with this 5.7L motor.

I'm down for gears. Haven't seen anyone on from DNF. I tend to jump on really late when I do

So the E55 fronts were easy breezy. The rear E63's were more of a pita. Also ran in to some brake line issues. That should be tackled today. Anyways, here's a pic of the rear up:

The AMG conversion should be done by Wednesday/Thursday. We ran in to some issues with the rear SS lines and Mercedes lagged on them so it pushed everything back a bit.

This weekend will be more of a clean things up type of deal. I'm going to confide in Crank This Performance to fix my issue and also help me with my FI build. He builds some amazing stuff and just recently contributed to the Chrysler 300 that won first place at the Tuner shoot out at an air strip. The 300 walked a GtR, Ford GT, ZR1, and a LS Swapped Rx7 in the 600-900 hp class.

My previous installer that did my head/cam work etc. screwed up my last engine harness and I have had issues ever since so hopefully that will be tackled. If all goes well, I will post a video of how the car sounds NA before going full blown FI.

A new development just occurred as well. It may have to wait until summer depending on if the company is willing to send me prototypes or not, but I plan to do a suspension overhaul and run something that no one in the LX platform has done yet to my knowledge!

Cool deal! I picked up the car today and drove it about 80 miles. I have to leave early in the AM and will do some more
bedding in.

Hopefully will have some more pics tomorrow:

Bwhaaha! That's why I took the picture.

My Z and a black roadster is on the right side in the back outside of the "picture zone."

Much appreciated. We gotta introduce the domestic world on how to spice things up with quality parts outside of just the motor and drivetrain...

So here's a preview of what is coming down the pike sooner than expected. We've all seen Flashtech and AAC halos...just like the brakes I wanted to go with something high quality and different than what is already offered to the LX community.

OEM projectors from a kouki Q45. These are hard to find because everyone in the retrofit community wants them, so I had to call around and was able to find a set in Japan!

More to come...

So after some research and finding out that there is a station less than 5 miles away that sells e85...I'm going to take the plunge to convert to e85 when i do my supercharger install.
