Tray Donuts

Front Wheel Drive + McDonalds Trays = SWEET DONUTS!

Anyone else tried it? You just put your back wheels on top of the trays and pull your e-brake so the back wheels lock up on the trays. Then, have fun! It works best in a light mist (not so misty that your front wheels can't grab the ground, but misty enough that the trays have less friction and last longer)

We;ve got footage of my protege on mcdonalds trays in the motorsport vidoe. For anyone that hasn't seen it, it's on motorsportconnect.com. The link is on the front page.

Flowmaster 40 Series, 2" now but will be 2.25" this week.

I was going to install the pacesetter but I heard it sounds like ***.

Check out his sig.

EDIT: beat me to the post

I like the sound of his exhaust too, it doesn't sound "farty" like a lot of people with small displacement engines these days (Honda boyz...). It sounds pretty good in person too.

Robert,
It's in the garage getting sanded right now. We cut out the "stock mesh" and are replacing it with the gutter guard stuff you can get from your local hardware store. Before that's placed in, it's going to get resprated Indy red.

are you going to make a how to, on how to insert the mesh grille? The only thing i can't figure out is when you get the mesh in, where do you tie it up, so it doesn't flop around.

Yes, we will make a how to. We haven't figured the best way to do that yet either. Right now the idea is to melt it in..using a blow torch and pieces which were cut off. I'll let you know how that turns out.
