If you look at the picture I posted of the finished crank, you can see where some mutant rat gnawed a piece of one of the counter weights.
So now I wait another 3 weeks (supposedly) for the first of three crankshafts to arrive.
As for your's I think you are just being mean to me now

About to order my adapter plate from kennyspec, so I will have most of the parts in about a week or 2, but i am thinking of just leaving my injen intake on my car and taking the filter off then running another pipe to connect the intake to the intercooler, this will save me from making another custom piece for this project. might look a lil ghetto maybe but whatever it should work good

it's the worst part. it's so frustrating having so much money floating out there.
