Have a good one man.

When this reaches 20 votes I will consider closing it.

HBD Patrick. You have done a great job with CYV and are a great addition to SSA.

still working on perfecting it, but the new animated header image for the graphite skin has been a long time coming. Special thanks go out to "Viper118" moderator from www.realmofexcursion.com for making this image.

many happy dreams of bandpass

Hello guys, just wanted to let you all know about a big change in the layout of CYV. We now have seperate forums for each vehicle make, which makes it easier for you to find or ask specific questions about a specific vehicle. We have also hired 3 mechanics that will be helping with questions related to repair and we have 2 industry insiders that will be answering other questions in our 2 new Specific Vehicle Discussion categories. I hope everyone gets a chance to come by and check it out. Also let me know what you think as well. http://www.cyvforums.com

I was just wondering why once i click on a topic it only shows the original post, and all other posts are linked at the bottom? Is it something I can change or is it just a new look? I particularly like the old way where I can see all the posts under the same topic. I catch myself re-reading some of the earlier posts and this way makes it a bit more difficult to know whats going on in a certain topic. Thanks,,

Haven't had SSA on my ride since I sold my last truck.

My brother lost the fight of his life on March 11th at 10:45pm---He had been fighting Leukima for 9 years now---it was in remission last week---he went to get a check up and he had a seziure and they admitted him---his temp was 103 that day---the next day they found a ceribral staff infection on the base of his spine----he was on life support for 3 days and he had a living will so @ 7:00 the family had to do the hardest thing in our lives----we had to say good bye to a great and funny man that loved music and his family with all his heart.I never got to hear him say good bye but I know he heard me---I talked with him for at least an hour----he died in Baptist Hopt. in Win…

I see you guys leave feedback for one another on sites which is cool but I would recommend using "Heatware". That way it can be used at any site you go to. I used it at a couple of computer sites I used to frequent but there is no reason it cannot be used at any and every site you go to. And with Heatware everything is in one place. Just my 2 pesos

Just wanted to let you guys over here know about a little project I am working on. We have added 3 directories where you can add your name (if you are an installer or know of a good installer and they don't mind being listed) or shop if you know of a reputable shop in you area or that you know does great work. Once you're logged in you can follow these links: Installer or box builder directory, use this link: http://cyvforums.com/index.php?board=26.0 Shop directory, use this link: http://cyvforums.com/index.php?board=27.0 Help us spread the word out our project. It would be cool to have a huge listing of car audio installers, auto mechanics, car audio shops and mechanic s…

I added on the Advanced Topics section, because I have noticed that there has been some more advanced concepts questions and ideas getting mixed in with with the regular topics, maybe it will help clear them up a little, also welcome on Joe, aka ciaengineer he is the head man at CIA engineering, he has worked with dave in the past and I felt the two would be perfect for the new section, I hope it works out, our mod team is even stronger now BLAMO can ya dig it? :boxin:

We wanted to make it official and name our network of forums. To make it easier to browse between them all, we thought it would be a great idea to create a "tab like" header bar on every site, so you can flip between them quickly. Want to see it work?! Simply look at the top of the page and click away Enjoy our sites, sign up on them all, post questions, answers, build logs, for sale items or photos.

We are testing the 3.0 beta version of new Invision board software. This is a highly anticipated release, Mark himself has been waiting for over a year now. This stands to stomp Vbulletin in terms of features, functionality and search engine optimization. It has a ton of features built in that we have been installing one at a time on the older version of the software, some causing bugs or errors.. This will be what we move SSA, CA-F, and CLZZ to here very soon. We wanted to give you guys the opportunity to see the new software before it is released, kind of a peak behind the curtain, and also a chance to find any issues now before we convert the forum completely over…

finally getting into a new design which should be implimented in the next week or so. Should give a fresh new look to the site and hopefully attract new users.

Let me know what you need designed. Often times I'm very lazy and it might take a few days but its free . I already a good 50 on my comp and I will be glad to make another one for you. I make them in PS and give you a list of all the cuts you need to make. So if you want one send me an e-mail to [email protected] with the max sizes, the sub, the power, the car, and anything else I should know. Thanks! PS: I can make them for you also but they are really not that hard to make once you get plans. A place like home depot will cut the wood for free and all you need is glue and screws from there. Also you can pay me if you wish lol B)

as some of you might be able to tell, at the bottom of the page, there's a online list of people chatting and in what room. Sorry for the "not so great" looks of this mod, but it's the best I can do for now.

Pruned all new members since 7/15, renewed our IBP license which should activate Spam prevention again, and deleted most of the spam topics I saw, should be a clean forum again. Enjoy.

Here is the link to my article, hope you like it. >>Interview and here is the link to the rest of the editon >>Momentum Magazine

how about a way to upload more then one pic at once?

Meaning, collapse the brand / vendor forum sections and clean up the main front page of the SSA forums? Asking, as many have not had a single post in a few years.

http://www.floridacaraudio.com/ Here is the release from NOPI announcing their latest news for 2008. “It is with great regret that NOPI Motorsports, LLC has suspended operations for the summer and fall 2008. This will include NOPI Drag Racing Series, NOPI Drift Series and the NOPI NATIONALS Motorsports Supershow. The company is undergoing an organizational restructuring in light of severe adverse affects of a disappointing spring season. The economy and unfavorable weather resulted in underperformance of all spring events. Michael Meyers, president of NOPI Motorsports, reports that NOPI Motorsports is working with its clients and sponsors to minimize the uncertainty going…
