    Metal (i think) on I-20

    That would be assuming he had at least 90k in property damage insurance. HAHA

    Question about running speaker wire.....

    I just had my installer friend run new speaker wire for me when he was putting in my amp and speakers. He said he did it just because the factory wire was so small with what I plan to do in the future he didn't want any fires starting. He didn't charge me for it so I didn't care either way but...

    Water in my wheek well?

    When I was changing my taillights before and I took out the jack I noticed there was a lot of water behind there. Now I've also been noticing that my back passener seat is wet on occasion even when it's not raining and I don't see and residue from water back there. Any clue as to where the water...

    The Baby has arrived...

    It also depends on what type of 18's you put in there. 18's with a machined lip look a lot better than regular rims, especially since wheels with a machined lip tend to look a size smaller than they really are.

    Question about what to do/setup

    I looked at the Alpine but it was ugly as sin (so sue me if I go for looks too). I like the 6.5v pre-outs, the only downside to the pioneer is the fact that if I wanted to go 5.1 I couldn't because their surround processor isn't avalible.

    Question about what to do/setup

    I've been looking into doing a multimedia setup in my car and it seems like a lot of the mobile video HU's that are around $1500 or less tend to focus more on video features than sound quality. I really want to get a motorized in-dash monitor but I want to make sure that it os detachable. So...

    If I remove this...

    The black strip on the top of my rear bumper, does anyone know how that is attached? I really don't like it but I don't want to damage anything.

    Gas light

    Easiest way to find out how many miles you have left is the next time your car gets the gas light, go fill up. The tank can hold 14.9 gallons, so whatever the meter says after it fills up, subtract that from 14.9 and you'll have your answer.

    Pistons/Pacers Fight

    Thing to remember is that as soon as the fan steps on the court, they are in the wrong. O'Neal got that one fan with a real good wack to the jaw.

    Comparing our 2.0L engine to a Honda 1.8L engine

    I meant pistions. I know all about the Honda engine, that was my previous car, that's one of the reasons why I chose the Protege. I just want something in the middel as far as getting as much power out of the engine as possible, without having to do an overly large turbo. Tell me if I am wrong...

    Comparing our 2.0L engine to a Honda 1.8L engine

    That's the route I was thinking anyway, I'm not a fan of shortcuts.

    Comparing our 2.0L engine to a Honda 1.8L engine

    I've heard that, but in the same breathe I've heard that's if it's not tuned correctly.

    Comparing our 2.0L engine to a Honda 1.8L engine

    Just thinking about something while I was on the crapper and reading SCC, I was looking at the engine sizes and power output on some of the Honda engines, specifically the on in the Type-R. Now that is a 1.8L I4 with and compression ratio of 10.6:1 putting out 195hp at the crank, then there is...
