    Happy B-day Antoine

    You've got at least four years until you can even think about old. 30's got that psychological effect, of course when you hit that I'll have hit 40(pissed) . Damn young whipper snappers. Happy birthday(first)

    My other car's system

    An air compressor hooked to my die grinder with a cut off wheel. Really messy as it shoot fiberglass dust every where, itchy if you don't wear long sleeves and long pants with gloves tape closed(shocked), but you get very clean lines.

    Age gap poll

    I chose 5+, but I'm also 36 so that not a big difference any more. I think a better judge is they should be within 10-20% of your age, this keep both of you near the same mental age and will cause less issues with generaltional gap. All that said my wife is only 1 1/5 years younger than me so...

    paying for your kids' college and/or car?

    My wife and I will definitely both be paying for cars adn school for both our girls. It's the least we can do as both our parents did it for us. I never finished so I got the rest of my trust funds when I turned 21 and have invested it over the years, sometime wisely, sometimes not. My wife...

    air compressor

    Are you sure it's 6 psi and not 6 HP. I don't think I've ever seen a 6 psi compressor, especially considering that sea level air is 14.7 psi. That means that 6 psi compressor would actually be a vacuum.:)

    Home Audio Question

    The B&Ws would be the best match from a manufacturer stand point as they are the same company. I think it would depend more on what sound you like. The B&Ws are very laid back and mellow while the Paradigms have a little more kick to them. Both are great speakers so you need to determine what...

    3-way (tweet, 5-1/4, 8") components install

    Done right it should sound great. At one time I had 8" Morel mid-bass in the front doors of my MX-6 and Image Dynamics horns under the dash. Once EQed they sounded great and had awsome imaging, but it was really tight under the dash for my feet.(shocked)

    Need Honeymoon help

    Of the places you listed I would do Fiji. I've been many times, always as a stop over on the way to Australia, and it is always wonderful. They like tourists and much of the island is beautiful. Hawaii is very nice, but getting more crowded as time goes on. I persoanlly don't like to even go to...

    Why wouldn't this work?

    Actually I think I know who this is from my old days on the www.Probetalk.com . If it's the same guy he really does top quality work and you can just ship him your valve cover if you can be without it for a week or two, or buy a spare and have him powdercoat it.

    has your car ever been broken into WITH an alarm?

    Broken into once with the alarm on. I know it was a pro who did it since I parked in my complex which had just stopped being a retirement only community so all my neighbors were over 55 and I never played it loud near my home. Also I know how well everything was bolted in and how well the...

    help resolve a conflict

    Where's the question. If nothing else the SI will not be in the shop anywhere as much as the Mercedes and if something goes wrong it a lot less expensive to repair.

    Need electronical help!

    Check the wiring at the rear right light cluster, it sounds like you have a bad ground path for all the lights and theya re trying to ground through each other. Thsi is why it works fine with the other lights turned off but starts to act crazy when theya re on in different combinations.

    Chuyler1's new audio install log.

    Are you going to build new kick panels? Looks like you would be able to bring them down and back enough to have a clear shot with new kicks and still take up no more foot room than they do now. Might also even out the tweeter levels with a more direct shot from the mid. Oh yeah, they look...

    Ipod: Keep it or get something else?

    I vote for selling it and keeping the money for somehting else. Personally I would never use any of the portable players, but I'm a bit of an audiophile and just can't stand the poor quality of the lossy storage formats, be it iPod AAC or any of the MP3 forms, give me good old Wave or FLAC any...

    taxes are lame

    If you can't budget money for buying things through the year and use your taxes as a savings account then you just need to lower your deductions so they take more out of your paycheck. You would be better off just putting some money to the side in a savings account instead though, so at least...

    Bogus Charge?

    They guarantee free installation labor, not parts or materials. The materials fee is to cover crimp connectors and other miscilanious stuff that it is too much of a pain to individually charge for. This is how they can sell with free labor and still afford to pay for the building, installers...

    Chuyler1's new audio install log.

    Best thing to practice on is a 12 x 12 sheet of ABS plastic. Most every stereo shop has them and you can get it for $5-15 depending on your relation with them. I used to form tweeter pods and dash peices out of it all the time when there wasn't anything prefabed that would work for my...

    What's the fastest car you've ever driven ?

    Fastest car I've ever driven, Ferrari F40. Fastest I've even gone, 152mph on my old Honda VFR750 motorcycle, just don't sit up at anything over 100mph, face full of air.(boom07)

    Chuyler1's new audio install log.

    Yep, I've used it many times to reform small sections of interior trims or do some quick molding of area that I didn't want to deal with bondoing. Generally I would use a standard heat gun and heat up the back side of the plastic just enough that it became pliable but not so much that it could...
