Just pick up the Eibach's, they are pretty cheap and ride really nice on my car. If you want, you can come over and we can go for a ride so you can check it out.

As for pics, I have to get the wife to upload them from the camera onto her computer so that I can push them out to the website. Chill people!! I haven't even looked at them yet...

I would recommend starting at Wings West, but there is bound to be someone on here selling one. I have seen a few around in the past.

I don't know why, but the song "spin spin sugar" popped into my head when I read that post. I forget who it's by, but I have a couple of their CD's.

Razzi may flame me though, because that's probably too old school for him.

Yeah, the days of being young and not caring about hearing loss, ah, those were the days. I had two 12's in an Rx-7, two 10's in my Benzo and Civic, the civic positively bounced down the road...

Thanks enigmaos. I heard your music when we took a break on the side of the road I walked past your car, or it could have been the fact that I am half umm whats an animal that can hear really good? I just got back from my interview with construction company and I got the job so I start on June 1. So I'm gonna be paying off my car and then after that it will be loads of money for mods on my car.

The reason you can hear still is that you're young and haven't invested enough in subz for your car yet. Next paycheck you get - lets have an ultimate electronics meet. We'll take care of everything for ya


Oh - got an update too. Apparently there was 5k worth of wet shit in my store room. So now there will be a random 5k worth of dry, new shit spread throughout my house in the near future.

I think I overheard you guys saying you wanted to paint the inner part of your stock wheels josh and dan. No idea if this is what you were talking about, but mine as well take a look.

We were talking about doing that to Dan's car, but that looks pretty sick. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Maybe I should look into doing that on big blue...

Well... think I might have another project to do on my car. I think I may have to kill 3 birds with the same stone one of these weekends.

I gotta rotate my tires, put in the chromed amber bulbs as long as I have the front tires off, and reseal the tailights as long as I have the back tires off.

I noticed this morning after the carwash that I have some fogging in the right rear light. I'm hoping that it just kind of goes away on it's own, otherwise I might have to pull them both and find a way to seal them up better. That seal that was previously there was all shriveled up (like hairy old man balls as blackura would say).

900 HP? Are you buying a Mustang or something? That or you have been hiting on the crack pipe again.

Hey, I can only post the photos that you took with MY camera, I am not good enough to hack into Dan's camera while it is in his pocket in Chicago.

I got off work early, got some hairs cut - and we're off to go camping in Beaver Creek Valley. Never been there - a buddy of mine and his girl are taking us.

Totally roughing it too. Have to carry our supplies in because it's not accessable by car. The bathroom is an outhouse.

How about the rest of you guys?
