I kinda like my feet. But it seems many guys with high power are not running them? And from what I hear the TKO housing is pretty strong. I don't plan on bolting slicks on and doing 5000 rpm launches.

Do these other guys just not like their feet?

I looked at the quicktime site - which one you recommend?

thx

There are plenty of guys running around with no fire extinguishers and having sex with strange women without a rubber. I just no my own luck with cars...so I just don't take any chances. Whichever fits your application and clutch. Not sure what motor you are running. I hate to spend your money but now is the time to make the decision.

Dammit, you got me again!

Admit it. You don't mind spending my money.

I will strongly consider this, but my guy said he has yet to see a TKO housing explode.

Decided to go with a scattershield after all. Got a good deal on a local used McLeod piece from Blown353 (Thanks Troy). Guess I feel like saving my feet/legs after all...

Also have the Ring Bros hood hinges on their way in brushed finish.

If more people cared about their fellow Americans feet like Todd does, this would be a better country.

I think...

Dropped the scattershield off today with Jason. Hooray for foot safety!

Post up some more photos so I can spend YOUR money...I'm tired of spending mine. Well maybe not..If you keep the car you will be glad when you hit 6500 rpm under max boost.
