  1. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this place! My former home I really loved, then it seemed to turn into a pissing match in every thread, or a "my balls are bigger than yours" type thing.. Everyone here seems really koo and laid back. I like that! Not too technical, but if you need it, it's there.


  2. You're just like myself. I could watch videos, get lessons from many experts, read every book in the world, etc..., etc...., and I could still not be any good at something. Once I get my hands on it though, it's a different story. If I were you, I would do a search on the web for various tutorials on whatever you plan to do, get yourself a starting point and a little understanding of the task at hand, and jump in head first and just start doin it. You will screw stuff up at first, but that's the best way to learn! Good luck and remember there are a lot of knowledgeable people here to assist you!! That's the fun in car audio!


  3. Toyota Tacoma. I found that out in an issue of Motor Trend. I just don't see how that can be though. There has to be at least 1 thing not 100% made in the USA. They didn't name any specifics on how they determined it, but it was quoted in there that the Tacoma is the only truck that is 100% made in the USA. I find it odd how the American manufacturers are moving production to other countries while the Japanese market is bringing the manufacturing to the States.


  4. That wouldin't happen to be the Laser Red one they had with a stroked 4 valve would it? I love the look of that car. I never thought mine would look right without a wing until I removed it one day at the strip. Now I love the look.

    You worked for Motor Week???!!! I'm jealous!

    As you can see, I haven't touched the motor yet. Trying to make the best use of the available power on hand. I the near future, I have plans for a 5L stroker and Twins! I bought some cams for it years ago, but I never installed them due to the crappy lash-caps you have to use for regrinds. Now that they have new grinds out, that will be coming too.

    I like clean simple lines, so the factory did all the work for me. I'm not into the body kits and all that. No flashy wheels for me. In fact, I'm in the process of getting a new decklid so I can get rid of the rear spoiler.
