I'll have to look into the e-brake adjustment, but it engages just fine and stops the car so 
The K&N filter was cleaned and oiled not too long ago so maybe the pics make it look dark. I'll try and get another couple shots of it and see what the color looks like then.
...and why does everyone sound so surprised that this got done

? Looking great, but I think I need to make the obligatory comment about lowering it excessively, and putting some different wheels on

joe finished up the rest of the mechanical work (while kris was at work) with his one severed hand (white flesh was showing the minute he hit that brake shield) never seen a dude cry with agony. Hey Kris, how's that clutch feeling? Make sure you finish up the interior, I left the rear seats off and a few bolts loose here and there. Check under the seats, the bolts from the seats should be under both driver and passenger. Good thing to see you guys got the radiator fans and A/C working again! Tell joe to go take a shower also, i haven't seen that man shower since he got to tallahassee, that dude won't rest until the damn thing's done.. geez. Never seen a dirtier grease monkey until this week. LOL

Yea he's like a 
now All the credit goes to Joe. Without him, this swap wouldn't have been possible
He came last Saturday and is still kind of helping me trouble shoot and make sure everything is still working. We thought we were going to be done by the end of last weekend but with all the different things and extra parts I had to order (and wait for) he ended up staying a full week instead of just 2-3 days like we originally planned. A big thanks goes out to him

I'll have to give that a shot when I can get that wire for it

Wow its so awesome someone else did this congrats on your car. Just wondering though I noticed in your video you had your dash lights on is that going to be forever because of the swap or is it something to be fixed in the future?
