Ive just heard that other shops do a better job. I havent seen the port on mine yet, so I cant speak from personal experience.

FP Porting- I said i personally havent seen it, but that Ive heard there are better routes to take. So take that with a grain of salt as I havent been able to see mine to give my own opinionl.

If you want a video, pm me your number and ill send one out as soon as i get there. I have a whole contact list for this video! hahaha
Ill have pictures and vids, etc next week, as Ill be hanging around the shop a little, and meeting with some friends all weekend, before i make the drive home.
Im getting super excited, and having trouble sitting down doing my homework and studying I think my professors should just give me a week off

lets just hope once you go and get it nothing is wrong. You need to drive that thing easy and hard before you leave there first make sure its all correct.

Itll be getting its fair share of driving before I head home. Im picking up a JDM rear in OK city, which is a couple hour drive. Then im heading about 2 hours north of the shop to meet a few buddies and hang out for the night. The sunday Ill be driving home, so itll have a few hundred miles on it before I make the long journey.
