welome to the site, ask all the questions you want

amanda's tittes>starwars..by a lot...

We're getting our hands on 2 RL-I 8s and will be making a Double Shot for them. It should be pretty "magical" and we will post videos of it playing complete with a Termlab hooked up. We're also going to run them in a comp on the 22nd if we get them by then and you guys can see them going up against many different setups. Until then, have fun!! -John Nolte

if they were painted matte black like the first run of SS's that would be uber sweet

Hey Mike, any pix of your install?

bump!

the Senator theatre is the win, they use 50mm film, so the screen is close to 3x the size of normal screens

Amanda texted me today telling me that she had a BIG suprise...... I start to think, she has been taking her pills so I hope it is not what I am thinking, but when I get home I am instructed to go searching for the suprise, the suprise was hidden somewhere on her body, after some digging around I get to her bra and pull out these>>>> yeah thats right, OPENING NIGHT TICKETS eat that~!!!!!

oh I see, the merkur talk stops when I get here

nice amp, space and power is more of a factor than end cost,

Again. if I get the LMT your not going to let me port it are you

dimensions?

here are a few shots of the area we have to work with: he said he is willing to modify it if really needed, but I felt we can work around that, from what I understand it will be getting some fiberglass treatment, but for all accounts he does not have a ton of time, the Navy keeps him very busy

ok, I am helping Brian look for an amplifer, he has on order 2 RL-p 12 D2's from the group buy, and now he is in need of an amp, so we need a final load of 2 ohms mono with about 600 to 1200 watts to push the subs, he is not trying to win any tropies just have damn good sound.. he is putting this all into a 2k4 Explorer in the cargo compartment which sits below the floor of the rear cargo area, after some quick measurements and no moddifications he has about 16" wide max, 1' deep, 5" thick to work with for the amplifer to sit down in.. so I thought that a few options would be: - the MTX 801D, good amp, great price, low on features, solid performer when pure power is the only factor needed... - the RF 1001bd, very strong amp, more power than the MTX, serious performer, fairly conservative on the current for daily needs any suggestions you guys have post them up for sure, Brian is a good guy, he has spent more time doing important military things while we have been playing with our toys, so I thought maybe we could get this set up right

for a sub that is in that price range, every penny counts, so I don't go out a few nights here and there, detail a car or two more, pick up some overtime, etc.

I feel for you. Have you ever been stuck on a speed bump? I avoid them now. I take them at an angle, its funny I think other people in my neighborhood are finally starting to catch on as why this dark 2 door is driving diagonal

And a regular Knack for happening upon deals. I'm sure he's drowning in equipment. that is true, he does seem to find rare stuff for a good price

that MBQuart 1k amp that ryan snagged would be sweet for the RL-is

pix?

GODDAMNIT you had a conversation about the Merkur XR4Ti with out me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the resident Merkur expert, anway, it was my first car I ever owned (saved my life in a really bad wreck in 1995) I later bought a silver one for a past girlfriend.. the 2.3 is a potent motor as previously mentioned, the iron block can take pretty much what ever you throw at it, (not sure but I believe it was sourced from the Pinto) I have seen via Merkur groups out on the west coast guys running upwards of 20 psi on the stock block, the body is very rigid from what I remember and with a little under chassis cross supports I can imagine it to be M3 stiff, not to mention that it was naturally, because of its design and RWD and usage of Aluminum in the chassis, it was a very good handeling rig, with small adjustments they could be better than my current sled (heavy SOB) they did have a fair amount of electrical problems, and many customers ditched their cars early because they felt the turbo went up when the entire time it was only the pressure release valve which was faulty from the factory, they are a great car for SPL due to the massive hatch area and expansive rear glass, making it easy to drop in something of retarted dimensions, I know that the autos were a little on the weak side, not to mention that the autos were only 3 speeds, yes thats right 3 speeds, (I believe that was changed in the 88's and 89's but not positive, along with the dula wing being dropped for a single less noticable single) the little problems were sorta worked out by the last two years of the model's run here in the USA, (it carried on as the Ford Serria in europe) but at that point Ford had felt they had sunk enough money into the project and were not seeing enough returns on it, they should have never sold it at the Lincolin Mercury dealerships, and they should have pushed the "sporting" aspect of the Merkur line (only two cars being brought, the other being a 4 door sedan with an anemic V6) I mean damn this was the second coming of the attempt that Ford had for a European designed coupe and sedan, (an idea a decade ahead of its time) I am not saying its the second comming of the Detamaso Pantera (that being Italian inspired) just for the Regan years and gas crisis age, but it was the second attempt and I think they failed in the marketing and sales miserablly, if you need performance parts for the car, Rapido Group is the place to go, they carry everything, with the Intercooler kit, Borla dual Exhaust, Tokico shocks, HI Flo Head, turbo timer etc. that car (which can be found for about 2k in decent shape) could have a damn good chance of running down much newer cars, If you remember back to a slightly less known car, the XR4Ti's direct competition was Chrysler's Conquest, a Mitsubishi rebadge, it was also a 4 pot turbo doing in the 175-188hp range, but it was much heavier than the Merkur and sold even less copies, I have always wanted to buy another Black Merkur XR4ti and make a track car out of it, for the money and potential it is really hard to beat.

hey Mike, I can't remember if you had stated what the final version of the cone will look like? will it be teh sexies like the new or the original RL-p's {side note, I seriously changed my order last night when I ordered chineese for Amanda and I, I decided to get the combo for 2, anyway to get to the point I thought if I keep ordering the Large Chicken Lo Mein I am never going to be able to fork it up for the LMT, $3.75 went towards the RL-s fund last night}

on SD someone is selling a single if not a pair of 4hp 18's, those have got to be out of this world
