I like it. Have you looked at PTP blankets?

I have not, I already ordered the DEI one though, so maybe next time

I also got some of the gold tape for firewall buff up too, just in case. I think I have enough shit now, I hope Time will tell.

I am getting really pumped for this, I was hoping to have it ready for this weekend for cars and coffee but I think I am going to spectate instead.

I also want to get a mini fire extinguisher but not sure what to get and how to mount it.

Anyone have any ideas?

You have a Fire extinguisher in the glove box? Wow, that's a small one.

I was hoping for a mount that went under the passenger seat, anyone know of anything or maybe it's custom time.

Wouldn't it being under the seat make it awfully tough to grab real quick? I would think you would want it in an easy to access place like glove box, center console, etc. If really needed, you would probably be needing it in a hurry.

Yup, for automotive application. It's small but in the event of an emergency it'd be better than nothing or the random bottle of water/pop you might have in the car.

This. Think easy access. I put mine in the glove box right near the doritos that I stock in case Anna gets hungry.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

I like posting on forums! My epeen needs stroking

I drove it a ton last year, mainly as a DD because I hated driving my honda lol.

I just didn't really go street race it anywhere on purpose, just the occasional run against silly noobs.
