i have to graduate.......... (cool)

 

[beavis]

to pass a tech inspection at an autox to my knowledge. it must
1. have four wheels
2. have all the lug nuts in the wheels
3. not have belts showing in tires
4. must have a non sticky throttle
5. have brake pressure
6. have a safety belt
7. battery must be secure. (my brother has his ziptied down in his porshe)
8. no crap floating around in car. (floor mats must come out. and anything that could essentially lodge itself under the brake)
9. must have driver
10. no crap in trunk (i am notorious for this one. i always have a pile of things sitting next to my car where i park)
11. snell 90 or better helmet (loaners are available)

These are the basics that they look for. I can't remember anymore.... too late.. must sleep......(yawn) (nervous)

the p5 or the tsi???

 

[scotthidley]

TSI, I've never raced the P5. It'd do good on a small course, but the excitement isn't there for me with it. I was getting over a 100 on the back straight in the Talon last year. I was managing similar times to the Z06's
