So you'd think I'm all ready to hit the track right???

WRONG!!! My luck sucks! Now my damned USB port is broken (physically) on my laptop so no TwEEC'ing for me until I get something figured out. :mad:

It's always something aint it?

Hah! Most people probably won't even notice the "bump" on the street/track. Much less in my sig! :)

Looks good Ben! Doesn't look too noticiable at all!

Any chance of repairing/replacing the USB port? Or is it gonna require a new motherboard?

I don't know yet as I haven't had a chance to tear it apart yet and get the spares number off of the motherboard.

For the meantime I'm going to buy a PC CARD USB adapter so that I'm not totally down and out.

As for the reflection in the windshield, that's my 2 year old Little MoFo. :)

Your hood looks SWEET! I take it you did that for an Intake /piping or something ?



good luck with the laptop!

Yeah, I've got one of those EFI Spyder like intakes. It's an Edelbrock Super Victor that was converted to EFI by millsracing.com and I bought the elbow from CHP. It hits right where the cowl of the hood comes down, hence the modification.

If you do, I recommend you price it through www.millsracing.com . Definitely cheaper than CHP!

Here's (http://saleen.v8mustang.com/pics/intake/super-vic/IMG_0006.JPG) how I received my intake from them...minus the elbow... I had the rails and elbow polished (http://saleen.v8mustang.com/pics/polished/intake2.jpg) and it came out great IMO!
