Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:  
You are not connected to the Internet.  
The website is encountering problems.  
There might be a typing error in the address.

Maybe its just my laptop. Let me run down and check it on my desktop … Stay tuned

new shots:

Needed to do before tuning:

1. wire in HKS Twin Power
2. change plugs (anyone know the part # for 2 steps colder than 6097 NGK’s?)
3. wire nitrous
4. wire tach adapter

really like this shot:
