Correction, this is the install kit I ended up using: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-mVk7xU6CrAl/p_120997505/Mazda-In-dash-Receiver-Kit.html?search=120997505&ssi=0&tp=3121 It was only $15. No modification needed and it fits right in the factory opening. I installed my new Clarion headunit tonight...

I'm not 100% sure if the Pioneer is a universal double-din size or not, but I just got a double-din Clarion headunit that I'm working on installing. Mine didn't come with an installation sleeve/mounting, so I don't have anything to hold the head unit in place either. I found this universal...

I actually did end up getting the newegg headunit, it went on sale again a day or two later and I had my wife snag it for me as an xmas gift. The box only had the head-unit and remote in there. None of the mounting hardware, so I'm going to have to order a sleeve to adapt the factory opening to...

Yeah, I found it while searching slickdeals. I wasn't planning on a new headunit, but the price seemed awesome. Would've been the perfect item to put on my xmas list... Oh well, gonna see what else is out there

Cool, I didnt think it'd be much of an issue. However, the Clarion is no longer $199, I waited too long (pissed) The price is back to $399 at New Egg, so I'm guessing someone made a price mistake typo this morning on their site. Oh well, should've just bought it and then researched the head...

Hey guys, I searched around a bit and found some info about double din head units, but not a ton other than people have installed them before. I know they will fit, but is it as simple as just removing the headunit and the slot beneath it? The crutchfield link for this radio says I need to...

I agree with what everyone else is saying. They're overpricing the MSP at the lot, and then you owe more than the Jetta is worth currently as well. It's stupid financially to go that far in debt over a car. Tell her to get a beater (or gently used older car if she doesn't like the word beater)...

Are there any cheat codes for Forza 2?? yeah yeah, I know - go beat the game.... I just got it and dont have a ton of time to play the game, just wanted to know if there was a quick way to unlock the cars for split screen with friends. With Forza 1 I had one profile where I played the career...

12k is definitely too much for that many miles. If you look around you should be able to find one with less miles for that price. I was selling mine with less mileage for about that price (debating on still keeping it). Shifting is stiffer than your average car, and steering should be tight and...

I may swing by as well, that's not too far from my house either. I wouldnt mind entering the dyno raffle to get a baseline on my car, cool beans. You guys picked the same weekend as HyperFest though, maybe I'll just make it a car weekend and do both, ha.

Your Dad is a mechanic, yet he makes you take your car somewhere else to get things installed?? I would think that he would want to help you install so that he and you both know that it was done right. I think Protegegarage is the only place that sells the AFC iirc.

I've got the 4gb player, it works great. Battery lasts really long, easy to use, sounds great. I love mine.

Another Vote for the Goat! I've been in the exact same boat as you, looking to get rid of my msp and my top two choices were the GTO and 350z. I sat in the Z and didnt like it, horrible blind spots and quite odd storage for the interior. I'm looking for something as a daily driver. The GTO gets...

There isn't a ton to do there as far as nightlife goes. You can check out the Civic center to see if there are any cool concerts or anything going on. There is an awesome restaurant in Salem called Homeplace, it's a few exits south on 81 maybe 15 minutes I'd guess from Roanoke. It's an old...

Mine is coming in next week, so I'm reading up on all the issues you guys have run into. Since the ATP wastegate increases boost by a pound or two, do you need to run colder plugs, or is this a small enough increase not to need that?
