Scoobs is back and she is much better than before. You missed that 40-point font in red bold that said, "Scoobs is back bitches!!!"?

I took her out to the autocross school this weekend and was able to give her a drive at some good speeds, and have a lot of fun.

There is a novice school that you can go to, the one that I did this past weekend was for people with at least one year of competition experience.

Go to www.MNAutoX.com to get more details.

In that case, I don't know him at all. Send him to the autox next time you see him there.

BTW has any of you guys in here tried replacing the subwoofer for the 2nd Gen TL's? I was thinking about it but read on the forums if you put something stronger in place of the stock, it will rattle too much!!!! Let me know guys

Where should I buy my new HIDs from? My original plan was to buy them from Advanced Automotive Concepts (AAC) since they are custom making me pure blue halos for my headlights. Check out their HID kits: http://www.automotivelightstore.com/...S&Category=169. I plan on going with their 35w 12000K HID Kit for my headlights ($289) and their 35w 20000K (Pure Blue) HID Kit for my fog lights ($299). They are pricey and their Color Temperature scale is different from most all other companies'. For example, most companies state 8000K is pure blue, but AAC states 20000K is pure blue.

What heat temperature HIDs have you guys gone with and from where? What would you guys recommend? Also, what is the legal heat temperature? I heard 10000K and below is legal and anything above 10000K is illegal.

I thought the law was hid's on any car that doesn't have them stock is illegal? but i would assume as long as you aren't pink or purple you won't get pulled over or ticketed.. like mine are pretty blue (8500k) and i've never had a problem.. I just went with kaixens, you can get them from one of the vendors on here.

Depends what you're looking for in lights. If you actually want to see the road go with stock 4300K, the best light output for visibility. I personally wouldn't go with anything higher than 6K because you lose output like crazy. I hate my 6K now compared to my 85122+ bulbs. I'm not a fan of all the crazy purples and blues. I get enough of that from the color in the cut off line.

for HIDs, i suggest ddmtuning.com

$70 for a kit and its quality, not some cheap ebay crap. Lifetime warranty as well.

I heard about that in the elevator on my way to the pool. One of the guys said, "What do Michael Jackson and White Castle have in common?"






















































































"They both like to stick their meat into small buns."

I laughed my ass off.
