You'll love them.

I wouldn't suggest glass on the outside. You're just asking for trouble. I used this as a temporary fix on my '89 and it turned out to be a nightmare. Replacing sheetmetal is the only way to go. Especially on that unibody where you need as much integrity as possible. $1.5K is cheap and I'd be more than willing to shell that out.

HAd an old studio amp about 10 years ago. THis was before I even knew what Zapco was. I sold the amp for like $50, but back then, that was good money to a 16 year old. That, and I picked the amp up for free. Zapco owners are of a different breed. Once they're hooked, they're hooked. I don't know why, but may soon find out. Can't comment on the Diamonds, but they get a great rep, and I knwo firsthand they are of a quality build. I have a 6 channel board sitting in my basement. Design wise, I'd give the edge to Zap as there are som sublties that the "average" user will not understand about in their design. Diamond has really been around long enough to compare to the Zaps as far as durability goes. I'm sure if I still had that Studio, it would be running fine to this day. As a matter of fact, the 2 Zaps you have listed are the exact same models I'm looking at. Just waiting to hear back from the Zapco rep on the new models. They need a serious update on their site. The new Reference amps are incorporation a lot of new features and design.

Like anything, it's the prep work that counts. Bodywork is tough and time consuming. I'm sure I don't need to go into detail. If the car is straight or only needs slight body work, I'd recommend just taking it to a shop and spending 1-1.2K on a decent paint job. Once you start adding up all the supplies and time, you'll quickly be at $3-400 already. Then all the prep, yadda, yadda.

I didn't know I was supposed to email, but that's okay. Let me know when you get it back so I can bug you for measurements.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZkwik9550 i have to add my crossover on there too. Dammit.

Hey, did you get the receiver and Magnum parts yet? I haven't heard anything from you.

I'm new to the whole thing. I used to DJ a WHILE ago, but had nothing like the equipment they do now. Evereything I made was off an analog mixer, nothing too difficult. I saw this program at my buddy's house the other day and I was just blown away with it and had to have it. IT looks really intimidating for me, but I will get used to it. Hopefully.

Even if we couldn't repair it, there's always someone who can.

Yeah, I had to throw stuff up on Ebay too. Damn shame.

I have now changed my personal info to relfect this. Please see under the avatar thank you. On that note though, I really do think TLM is whiter than I. The amazing thing is, Clarke is albino. That dude could get lost in the snow. How can you live in Cali and be so white?

I have... How long did it take you to familiarize yourself with it? This is my first time messing with any software related type of beats.

Anyone know how I can get info on someone from there cellphone number?

Kinda OT, but djjdnap, you ever mess around with Fruity Loops?

Just so you know, we require pics for everything or you get banned.

Mileage is too high and it's a Chrysler. And it's a Chrysler.

What truck?

Good call Nick. Check the CV joints too.

WTF am I gonna do now. F UCK, I REALLY want those bastards!

That's what I'm feeling too. Dammit. Now I am on the hunt for amps again.

High end amplfier manufacturer. Only sells direct, no dealers. Will not respond to emails or answer their phone, yet their online store functions. Do you still order from them?

As of now, the move is off. That's a whole messed up story right there. If I do move, the soonest will be in the fall. As for my needs, it's not a huge necessity, but it would be nice to have a finished driver to check all my clearances. I have some pretty tight tolerances that an assembled driver would really aid in checking. It's not a huge deal though, so if you NEED it, take it. I would only need it for a couple hours at most, so I'd ship it out the next day, unless I received it in the morning, in which case I could turn around and get it out again that day.

How does it run now? I am pretty anal on vehicle maintenance, so you may not like to hear my opinions. I have friends who have vehicles for years and literally done nothing more than add gas and go. My best friend once had a winter beater that he drove for 6 years and NEVER changed the oil in. I don't know how that car ran, but it was a champ. Anyways, when and what was done on your last tuneup? I'd do the plugs and wires. Ignition wires tend to start breaking down after 10Kmiles. Most people don't know or realize this, but they notice huge performance increase and mileage simply by replacing the wires every year. It's cheap insurance IMO. Plugs, well, if you go the Platinum route, you can pretty much go for years without changing them. IF the vehicle has blow-by or is burning/using oil, I'd check the plugs every couple weeks. If they get fouled, you run the risk of having a misfire, or none at all. Not to mention, a fouled plug wil exhibit a very weak spark. If you use copper plugs, change them every year. No way around this. They degrade quickly. I change my plugs in my Cobra with every oil changed which is why I stick with Copper plugs. They are the best for spark and conductivity, but for durability, they suck. Don't get caught up in the hype on Platinum either. The ONLY advantage they have over any other plug is durability. All the vehicle nowadays run them simply for this reason (the 100,000 mile tuneups). CHECK YOUR AIR FILTER REGULARLY. The most common overlooked item on a vehicle. Air filters can and will get clogged to the point where they will not allow any air to pass through. Simple fact. Just check it and replace when needed. Oil, user preferences really. I NEVER do a coolant flush. I drain the block and radiator every year but NEVER do a flush. You WILL break stuff loose that may end up in the engine. You will NEVER get all the sutff out. I suggest taking it to a shop that has a vacuum injection coolant machine. This will put a vacuum on the system to ensure there are no air pockets trapped anywhere which can wreak havoc on your engine. IF this is not feasible, follow the manufacuter's recommendation. Be careful as most newer vehicles require a special antifreeze that cannot be mixed with conventional coolant. Also, most vehicles require a special filling procedure. DO your research here. It is important. All fluids should be checked normally. Power steering and brake fluids are commonly overlooked as well. Brake fluid especially should be checked and replaced often. The braking system is subjected to extreme heat and pressures and bad fluid will cause your brakes to fail. Again, take it to a shop for this, as most vehicles now have ABS and will require a computer to bleed the ABS pump. This is not always necessary, but is for most. IF you're not mechanical/lack the proper tools, take it somewhere. Check all seals! HEll, I'm done, I let the others pick up from here.

You're still short on cash if you're talking about the McClaren. It has 3 seats 1 seat. The lemans version has only 1 seat but the road version has 3 I've never seen it. Link?

I need all the dims of the current driver. Only part I have left of the claw is just that, the Claw. IF Nick doesn't need that back right away, that would be nice. Not a big deal though. Speaking of, Nick, have you heard from Scott yet? I actually have a special preference of gaskets I need to ask them about.
