David has a friend who is the head tech at car toys by the park mall. What kind of hook up do you need, install, or components?

One weird thing that pisses me off is when I don't have the CL, I see TLS' and CLS all over the place. But when I do have it, I RARELY ever see one. Weird.

Thanks, if its hard for David's bud to do something, I think I may try the Ebay route, its risky, but I've had nothing but good luck with Ebay. *crosses fingers*

That's because the new Sony 717 is coming out. They gotta sell all the old ones, and bring in the new ones. Just think though, you got a lot of use out of it since you bought it.

wait, he put cat back on and didn't race? I would have been itching to see what I could do with a new mod! (Not that he had a baseline to compare to, but still.

CLS-D is one crazy mofo. We were sitting outside of a sammich shop (Mr. G's for those of you that know the area) watching the beginning Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, with the windows down, and the stereo turned all the way up... And for those of you that haven't seen it, there are 3 curse words for every normal word. It was hilarious when people would walk by.

David was gonna race that nite but we messed up one of his tips when we were installing everything, so he left both tips off. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but the tips connect to the bumper and hold the ends on the car. I'm sure nothing would have happened but he didn't want to risk anything.

Ahh, now I understand. I had been under the impression that he just chickened out on us. :P

I talked to David and he said his friend at Car Toys can get 40% off, and he's in a class with him Wed. so he'll ask him then. He also knows someone at Best Buy, that guy gave my other friend with a GT, Marc, 50% on an amp. What were those components, a head unit, and DVD player with a screen?

717 is pretty much the same as yours, 5 mp, 5x zoom. I think they just added another feature or 2 and some new sw.

It runs from 7- midnight, so we'll prolly head down there at about 6. I'll have to check with the guys i'm going with. My GT buddies are the ones who are going to race, and they got some guys i don't know, so I'll tell them they need to organize and time and place to meet.

Holy crap! Dude, if David's bud can do 40% for me, I'm all the way in! If not, I understand, but let him know I'll be ready to buy now basically. its a Kenwood KHD-CX910 (Its a music keg for MP3s), and a KVT-911DVD, DVD player & TV tuner. boink:

I'm gonna put the 50 toward a mod, not buy a mod. Actually i have been wanting to upgrade my bulbs to piaa, 50 would prolly cover most of that. I really need new fogs, one's burnt out already.

I'll talk to him again tonite and tell him you want to buy now. He said the tech at car toys gets the discount after 90 days, and that's in a couple of days, he didn't get specific, I'll ask him exactly when.

I guess I don't have to say anything about putting up the meeting location. But I do feel the need to post.

I'll find out what they got planned, if anything. If they meet out of your way, i can meet with you at that K-mart again.

Definately go with the chili--you don't want that too late in the week...
