Thanks Danny and bluesman, yeah, I'm 25 now.

I didn't get anything for the ride (unless you count replacing all the tires)

But I did get a new dolby digital/DTS receiver and hooked it all up with optical, composite, & s video cables.

wiring stuff up these days ain't cheap.
Now I need to get some real speakers and I'll be set.

Nice job! How do the tires feel? They should be sticky...

The tires feel much better than the old Michlins. they really hold the road. I haven't been able to make them squeel yet and I have tried.

If your talking home theater, you should look into Definative. Lots of bang for your buck. But then maybe a guy like you has his eye on some Wilson Pups. I think they are about $25K EACH.



May be we should meet over at Hooters on 35 close to Vista Ridge mall tomorrow and tost a new year!

Like what time? I'd have to leave no later than 7:30. My neice has a game at 8:00pm.

25 grand each for a speaker? YOUCH! That's a lil' too rich for my blood. Maybe if I had won the lotto last night, we could talk. :P

Hanzie, I understand, i've been coming and all of the sudden it just stopped. I last posted on page 210 a couple of days ago and now it's too 212 and i JUST got an email.... how wierd.

Anyways, the Nissan guys and I will be cruising the Dallas area on Saturday to find a new place to host meets. We had a meet this past Saturday and had a total car count of almost 50!

So, we may stop by there both around 1 AND towards the evening.

OH, and today I received a new toy in the UPS truck.

For the 95/96 Maxima's no one makes a set of Red/Clear tail lamps. And for the 97-99 they can heat there tails up and actually pull the amber plastic out and have red/clears.

A while back, some companies actually made ALL clear tail lamps for our year maximas, but they are incredibly hard to find....

well, lucky me, I found a set and they arrived today.

tomorrow i will be making the bottom half red so I will have red/clear tails on my 95 Max.

There are a lot of people that use this special red vinyl tape to cover up yellow sections of there tail lights. There is a site out there with pictures and instructions on an RSX that are very good, and there's a guy on the celica forums that sell them for new gen celica's.

Or i apparently have the option of using a special type of paint that won't come off.

I'm not gonna make it to that Teg meet tomorrow, too busy.

Casper, those lights are gonna look good. When I first saw the pic of them I kinda cringed thinking you were gonna put in all clears. I'm glad you're gonna do half of it red, that will look sweet.

Will yall check out my lil custom electric CAI system i made, lemme know what you think... It's basically all 3" PVC piping. The electric blower is 4", it's the part you see between the 2 rubber 4x3" reducers. This thing actually has given me a pretty good gain. It's better than my AEM CAI, sooooo i'm happy. Right now the filter is down in the passenger side of the bumper, attached to a 2" PVC 90* elbow. I think that may be a bit too restrictive. I had the K&N just sitting behind the front headlight duct taped to the 3" PVC piece and I think it was better like that. Well, give me some suggestions. I need to paint it, anyone know how to paint PVC? Special paint or something?

Damn, I just got off work. Sorry to stand you guys up. I had a personnel issue blow up at work this afternoon. Why all the hate? So anyway, I am headed to my girlfriend's (she is cooking me dinner) and I plan on reading my new Sport Compact mag that came in the mail this week over a lot of beer. I hope you had fun and happy birthday again! Inferno
