I present to you our newest finding in Charlotte. RK Motors.

Enjoy!

Started off at PF Changs to meet up with Vinny.




Got fueled up with some white rice.


Sean and Vinny.












































More...































one more batch..










































Wait, what do we have here?!


What the hell is this?


I don't get it.


Shit's all blurry. Can't see shit captain.


Is it a bird?


Is it a place?


oh. Ok. It's a LFA. Why didn't I just say so?!

 

Wow, awesome shots Eric

 

Thanks buddy. I deleted your cheating post on fb. I'm trying to fool mofos son!

 

Oh oops

 

I'm playing along

 

dude you post fast as fuck! lol

 

fixed wing = nurburgring edition?!

 

Indeed. One of the fastest production cars around that track. I love it.

 

Awesome pics. Is that a dealer or a museum?

Either way, F40 > * , though the LFA is a very close second.

 

Thanks, got lots of things planned for it. Gonna be a long build.

I really hope so. With the advantage of a much more stable engine maybe I'll actually finish it this time.

Honestly both. It's true purpose is to sell them but they really don't mind you walking around and taking pics. Was pretty awesome they let you do that.

Would have to agree on the winners. 3rd place is a toss up for me. Either the convertible Cuda with the viper engine or the Yenko Turbo Z28. Because of rarity I think the Z28 gets the spot.

 

Dealer.

 

No pics of the Eclipse? I don't understand

 

 

Does anyone have a good explanation for how these points over to the left are tallied. Is it something to do with the number of threads you have started?

 

It's the "Experience" link on the menu bar between "Quick Links" and "Used Cars". Click on the "Earn Points" tab, and it tells you how to earn points as a user, for threads, for posts, etc.

Ah. Cool. Thanks.

It's a big ass chart of all the members pretty much. Now i can monitor peoples activity levels.

Jason is 4th in total amount of points out of ~46,000 members.
Tyler is what looks to be the most active current user at 69.1% lol.
Somehow i made it to the 100 club.

I still don't understand how points are awarded.

 

Me neither. If you look at activities it will award you 10 points then take away 4 for no reason.

 

I just looked again and noticed that Jason has the most 'points for user' by a landslide.



so who else is going to the honda meet on the 30th?!

 

Theres a group coming from Northern VA. Im in central VA and didn't see anyone from this area post up, but Ill be there.

 

I went one year and it was pretty big. There were a good number of azine members there.

Just decided i will be going, even though i haven't ran the idea by the other half yet hehe.

 

This is a before photo. And when i say before, this means something's going to happen lol..

 

So who's up for CCI tomorrow night?

 

Im game as long as i get out of work at a respectable time lol

 

I will probably roll over there. What time you gonna be here?

 

Going to Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper tomorrow

 

Last appointment is @3pm as long as nothing goes wrong and nothing gets added I could be up there by 6pm or so. That's if you want to meet up before heading to CCI. If not, I might see if anyone from around here wants to convoy up there.

 

Hadn't planned on going anymore but if that many of you are going to go then maybe I will come by.

 

Eric, Jack, or anyone else up for beers and dinner then before CCI then? If I drive home after work I won't make it back out of the house for CCI lol.

 

Where do you want to go?

 

depending on what time I might.

 

Im down to go to the meet , i could meet up with anyone that wants to go .


Also anybody in here good with car audio ? Im looking to upgrade the speakers in the tl and add a amp . Not sure if i want to pay someone to install everything or do it myself with some added assistance .

 

I don't care where we go. I will be stopping at Tmac first to get me a glass cause tonight's is supposed to be a pretty cool glass but after that I don't care. We can just stay there as well if you want.

 

If you are up by like 6pm like you said you should be able to make it not much later than we start. I wouldn't make it anywhere till like 5:30 anyways.

 

I have done two stereo installs on my TSX so I can help out if you need a hand. Are you going to use stock wiring or replace all the wiring as well? With definitely be a factor in how hard things will be.

 

Im keeping the stock wireing and stock amp for the mids and i want to add an amp for the sub . Im not looking to have a killer setup , just want to replace the stock speakers and replace the stock 8" sub with a Image Dynamics 8 in the stock location and use the added amp to power it.

Only decision i cant make is witch interior speakers to use . Hybrid Audio Imagines or Memphis M-class ( which is their top of the line ) i already have a set of M-class 6.5 co ax for the rear .

 

Great keeping stock wiring will make things very easy then.

I don't know much about Hybrid Audio however I am a huge fan of Memphis Audio. Actually, I just installed some of their marine speakers in my parents boat as well.


Here is a link to the latest system I put in my TSX.

Yea ima big fan too as ive had lots of their amps and speakers. I think im going to go with the carbon fiber m-class 6.5 comps , i already have the c/f m class 6.5 co ax's for the rear

 

They are great speakers I absolutely love them. However I will warn you that more than likely you will have to enlarge the holes in the doors to fit them. I had to do a lot of work to get them to fit in my TSX. I need to make 3/in spacer along with making the hole in the door bigger. The comps are like having 6.5in subs in your doors almost.

 

That's all I have done for the past decade. If you have any questions I'm more then willing to help. Memphis is a decent company. For amps I will always recommend JL. Mainstream or not their amps have some of the the most technological patents of any car audio manufacturer. For mids/highs there is soooo many companies. Alpine, Image Dynamics, Dynaudio, rainbow, focal, etc... For processors I would recommend the JBL MS-8, Rockord Fosgate 360.2, or any of the Audio Control units.

Hopefully I will make it by 6pm. Traffic will be a huge factor. Just need to give the car a quick bath before I leave and an address of where we are meeting. I'll PM you with my #.

 

I agree with recommending JL but the problem is the price and most people just can't afford or it isn't worth it to them to pay that much. My system but with JL would have been almost 5 or 6k worth of gear. Personally I even think some of the Memphis stuff sounds better speaker wise. JL definitely has the edge in most of there amps especially if size in an issue however again you pay for that size savings. The new XD amps are

For the budget conscious though I still recommend Memphis all day over the big store brands as best bang for your buck in terms of high quality car audio.

Just as a comparison my first sub was a JL W6. I then switched to a Memphis M3 and never looked back. My new system was supposed to be two M3 but there wasn't enough space in the trunk with my design I wanted to do so I went with two S3 which are their compact subs and still no regrets.



I don't know where we are meeting. I am stopping at TacoMac either by my work or in South Park to get my glass for the day.
