If you have Tephramods on your ECU (Check the ECUFLash forum.

You activate it by depressing the gas pedal key turned to on (But car not on). You can set it for whatever ROM you want in the ECU.

Exactly the reason I will always park my own car, no one touches my stuff. How have these guys not been caught, obviously its the same parking garage all the time. How have they not crashed anything?

Even with that said, I will never valet my evo.
Yeah I'll never valet my Evo either. I'm the only one that drives it. If something gets messed up I'd rather be upset with myself not someone else.

Me too. Use it at the airport as well--- incase it gets stolen, could be that at 2500 rpm will limit the fast getaway.

1. That video made me lol a lot!!
2. I was impressed they didn't crash at all (or the crashes weren't put in that video)
3. I don't know how they can make all that noise & leave all those burnout marks all over the place & not get fired...unless they are the boss.....
4. Stuff like that is the reason why I have never valet my car
5. If I ever valet my car.....

Being a valet was fun, not as fun as those guys were having but still fun. I once had a guy in a red 360 spider come through and watched me like a hawk all the way to my lot. When he came to pickup his car he asked me to get on it when coming back! He wanted to hear his new exhaust and hoped he would have heard it when I initially parked it. Lol

I always took care of the Evo guys that came into the restaurant I valet at.

Funny story he circled around for 15-20minutes till finally pulling up and asking where he could self park... I let him know I drove an Evo myself and I would park it myself, right next to that black piece of **** he didn't hesitate.
