Seems like he owes a couple people money or boxes or something - don't have the whole story here. - Steve

Seems like they fell off the face of the earth or something in the past month or so here ... - Steve

Snow Patrol - Final Straw ... one damn good album. - Steve

Different setup. I haven't updated this signature yet - my sig at caraudio.com is fully updated. - Steve

Sony MDR-V700 and Ultrasone HFI.550. Behringer HA4700 helps things out. A friend has the Oz Audio HM-6 which I like equally. Earbuds? You could check out Shure, Sennheiser, Grado, Sony, Etymotics etc - Steve

I've gotta say Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer and Foreign Exchange - Connected were pretty darn good. The Red Light District by Ludacris is absolutely horrible ... Urban Legend by T.I. is alright. - Steve

He made $400 from buying and selling these - Steve

If I recall correctly, I was told my driver is good for around 35mm one way linear. I'll have to look it up and see if I can hunt down the verification sheet. Unfortunately, it's not a production driver. - Steve

I'd imagine you'd be able to make some sort of profit on them. I enjoyed those drivers ... quite nice. Small box and low power requirements are appealing it seems. - Steve

<shrug> Different tire and wheel sizes on the front and rear is the way to go - Steve

Welcome to the board - Steve

Hey I have nothing to do with it - Steve

Those are nice. I'm also looking at the Kumho Touring A/S 795 and Kumho Power Star 758 right now. - Steve

Haha oh man .... gotta love the sensor - Steve

Yeah no kidding - it's going to be huge. - Steve

Welcome to the board - I'm sure you'll enjoy it here - Steve

Yeah, brutal 13" rims. Between denim and myself, I think we've almost covered a good chunk of the tires out there - but nothing smaller than a 17" I believe. - Steve

I don't remember what they were ... were yours 8's or 6.5's? I can't remember - I think that's what I'm getting mixed up on. - Steve

Yeah, I know ... what can ya do - Steve

Well, I want you guys to look over my logic. I was figuring that after winter I'd buy some new tires for the Mazda (FWD). Right now there are four all seasons on it. It appears as though the original factory front tires were moved to the rear, and a new set of all seasons were purchased and placed on the front. The tires in the rear don't have a lot of tread left on them - in fact, they look just like a street drag radial with minimal tread. I enjoyed yanking the e-brake through the floor when I didn't have the uberwoofer in there ... needless to say, I don't do that anymore. There's plenty of tread left on the front all seasons. I figure I'll throw the front all seasons on the back, so that takes care of that. I was thinking of getting a pair of new high performance all seasons on the front for the spring/summer/fall (odd wet road, doesn't rain much here) and I'd also get a pair of dedicated winters for the front in the winter. My thinking make sense? Any other suggestions? The kicker : the tires are only 155/80R13's ... real small ... tires start at around $25 / tire for a decent Goodyear all season. Therefore I can spend a little more on a good all season (not worried about winters at this point). A little lower profile for the spring/summer/fall tires is fine - as long as it fits on the stock rim. Go nuts ... suggest what you want. You'll find there aren't a lot of tires of this size with a high performance tread pattern. Right now I've only seen a few Goodyear's, Kumho's, Uniroyal's, etc. EDIT ~ We'll say around $53 USD per tire for the all seasons. All four tires will come out to around $250 CAD - which is what one tire was for the truck - I love small cars. - Steve

Nothing more than minor cuts, scrapes, and pinches here - mainly from removing panels. Sliced my finger somewhat with a utility knife once, wasn't fun. Anyone else have any other interesting injuries sustained during installation? - Steve

In your opinion, list some of the best CD's (hip-hop, rock, whatever) that were released so far this year. - Steve

What I've been using lately ... keep in mind this is just what I've found to sound good in my vehicle (not the loudest). SQ: Rush - YYZ Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane Eagles - Love Will Keep Us Alive Doobie Brothers - China Grove Dire Straits - Money For Nothing Dire Straits - Walk Of Life Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel Crosby, Stills, Nash, And Young - Woodstock CCR - Almost all of the greatest hits CD Kenny Chesney - I Go Back Story Of The Year - Page Avenue Jessica Andrews - There's More Than Me To You SPL: Xzibit - Get Your Walk On Petey Pablo - Vibrate Petey Pablo - Freek-A-Leek Ill Bill - American History X DMX - Right/Wrong Beastie Boys - Ch-Check It Out Actually, come to think of it, I haven't really cranked anything really loud in the past little while. - Steve

I figured about $800 in parts + labour. Police estimated damage at $1500. Actual insurance quote: $2500. Thank God I only pay $750 and the car is in unbelievable shape for its age with low km's ... or else it would have been gone and I would've gotten a lot less. Should've seen the insurance guy ... great guy and all ... just kind of suprised me when he started ripping the grille and light out and started tossing things over his shoulder and saying "Oh, you'll need a new one of those" Cool thing is they're giving me a whole new hood (I could've pounded it out and fixed it myself) and repainting both fenders ... guess my insurance does pay for something once in a while. - Steve
