yeah, that's autocross. don't let the location fool you. there is alot more to being fast on an autocross course than meets the eye.

the parking lot at north hills is particularly challenging due to the size restraints and the fact that it is built on a hill haha

off camber turns are fun.

For Sale:
PTE 880 CC injectors new in box.

I bought them here on EVOM and never got around to getting them installed and my duty cycle AFR's seems low enough so I am not worried about it anymore.

$200.00 OBO.

Also a really nice ebay 02 Housing and a stock exhaust manifold I'll part with for $190. I doubt I'll ever install these either.

Hey locals.. Tired of getting ripped off on a movie that just plain sucked or a video game that you just paid $65 for and feel like tossing it out the window and you wished you had rented it first? Cant take it back because its open, and they only exchange it for the same movie? Well now you can.. All you have to do is follow my steps!!! (this works better for Xbox 360 games because i will play them for a few months, do my dirty work, take em back and get a different game with the stores gift card, thats if i did not have a receipt.)

This process has worked MANY times for me and takes only about 7/10 minutes.
The kits cost between $3 and $8 depending on size.

Follow my 7 proven steps to never be ripped off again by a shatty movie company or them junkies who made that crap video game they scammed you into buying with the bad A$$ commercials!!!

1) Get the frost king (from walmart) has enough to do 60+ items..


2) strategically cut the plastic to fit all the way around the disk, but leave some space for the hair dryer in step 6 to pull it tight


3)cut the double sided tape provided in half making it less noticeable tape the flaps on spine side, top and bottom like this...



4) Make sure all areas looked to be sealed, and will allow you to hold it without it falling out any direction like so....



5)Get out yo mamas hair dryer, and if you think you are fabio, use your own...



6) hold it a few inches away, making sure not to touch it (it will melt plastic case) and swift it side to side making sure to get all the wrinkles out of the plastic that you applied to the case. This will also kinda melt the double sided tape leaving you the look of a nicely compressed OEM seal



7) take it back into the other room for the final time, and using a pocket knife, or a razor blade trim the edges or flaps that were hanging over. After you do it run the heater EXTREMELY close to each corner, and each edge giving it that crinkled effect you notice when you first tear your corners apart on that brand new DVD/GAME you bought!!! Dont forget to add the stickers that you safely took off when you originally opened it and placed inside the case for safe keeping!!!!!






PERRRRRRFECT

I wonder if this would work to wrap my old Hallman Manual Boost Controller and maybe I could return it for something else JK Pab! That's pretty damn slick though, I like that.
