I keep magnetic switches and anything else you would need in stock.

This is the switch..... the side with the connections would be the hidden part. The other end would go on your key chain etc.

It is not unique, but how the hell would anyone know about it or what to do to override it? You could also add one of the of the other methods I mentioned in conjunction with the magnetic switch. The switch is about $8. You would also need a latching relay setup and maybe some other goodies if you choose to use some of the other methods.

Its at a stop, waiting on things to line up so I can assemble the block. No wonder I never see any 240s around here, theyre all in peices! lol Im in vernon hills alot during the summer.

There are a couple 240s at CLC [my school] for class 7-10pm and its nice to see some others, even though Im in my pontiac

Found a white chuki hatch for sale for $1k down the street--auto , passenger fender is JACKED, and Ive never seen a hatch this bad with rust...but that can be replaced from a junkyard right? lol

I could, but there are several things going wrong lately, or just sucky:

Sway bar in my GTP is BROKEN off in one place, cracked in another. [$150]Rejected by emissions, had my teach clear the codes so Ill try again.Bent rod in the rear of my GTP, sucks but it isnt terrible.Car insurance is due this month. [$240 haha]Reregister the GTP [$78]I owe the great state of IL money [$300]

So basically Im out $700, and even though Im getting my tax refund hopefully next month I dont think it will cover all that lol

Banjo Bolt... as in for a banjo fitting? Imagine a regular bolt with the centerline up to the bolt's head hollowed out, and maybe recess holes/cuts a few mm from the head of the bolt to allow fluid to flow. Google it.

I havent been up to CRAP unfortunately, the guy who was sandblasting my parts got in trouble doing it at work, so his coworker did it and got in trouble too. So now he is taking it to his house to do it, but isnt getting them from my neighbor til TOMORROW. Its begining to not even be worth it to get them sandblasted

I know I know
