    To all home buyers...

    Havign been through this three times in the last 5 years The first thing you should do is figure out how much house you can afford. How much money do you have to spend on the mortgage, insurance, taxes and repairs every month. How much money do you have saved up and will it cover more than...

    Dealer Remote Start

    As for it being a factory option I'll call BS on that. To do it aftermarket without having to cut into the ignition wires, that's easy. You can order a harness from DEI, the makers of Viper, Clifford and a few other alarms, that plugs in between the key cylinder and the main loom. Just unplug...

    Bringing modded car into SoCal, issues?

    No need to worry about any of your mods, there is no visual inspection here at all, at least for suspension and such. You'll have to pass visual for the smog check so you might need the C.A.R.B. cert. for the headers, but that's it. As long as you pass the sniffer test you are fine. Just...

    HDMI vs. Component

    Time Warner like to use the Scientific Atlantic or Pioneer, both of which have the HDMI output and it is active on most of the boxes.

    HDMI vs. Component

    Honestly, unless you have a very large DVD collection that you watch a lot I generally wouldn't bother with an upconverting player, especially with the HD players coming out. As for the HDMI cable, definitely yes. This is becoming the standard connection for HD sources, DVI is on the way out...

    Remote Start/Alarm on 67 mustang?

    Yes it will work, I've done quite a few old Mustangs and Darts as well as many carb'ed motorcycles. It does matter greatly on where you live. All of my work has been in Southern California and most of the systems are for people who these cars are not daily drivers. If you set the unit for a...

    Original Dynamat is aweful

    I used to charge $1000 to fully dampen most cars or $800 for trucks, about $200 less if it was being done with the spray on dampener as it was faster except for drying time. We used to do 1-2 car a week after we got know for it. You just have to take the time to organize all the bolts and...

    Other brake fitments?

    If the Probe is listed then you can also use parts from the Mazda MX-6 and 626 up to 97 as they were all the same car, probably also the MX-3 but I'm not sure on that one.

    Now THIS is a home theater stereo setup!

    No, it's not in someone's home it was actually a demo set-up for one of the annual shows up in San Fransisco, which I can't remember the name of, last year and yes it is actually just a stereo speaker system, and a damn big one at that.(thumb)

    Who has a car seat in their ride?

    Now you see this is what happens when you live in Valencia, you end up with way too many car seats. J/K I'm in the same situation, two in my car, Isuzu Rodeo, and two in the wife's, P5, since we have different work schedules and I drop the kid's off at daycare and she picks them up it's sort of...

    P5's are getting old (age wise)!

    Yeah, my wife's is an 03 and she has almost 80,000 miles now, only problem we've had is the rear brakes which I think I've finally fixed.

    lcd vs plasma vs dlp = they all suck?

    He is right about the resolution, Sharp has had their 45" LCD flat panel out for over a year and it is 1920 x 1080, 1080p panel. Damn fine looking unit and only $5000 now, was $8000 last year. Their new 65" was supposed to be out last month but was delayed.

    lcd vs plasma vs dlp = they all suck?

    All depends on what you think of as expensive, I think $3000 for a 42" HD plasma is a great price and sell them all day long. Then again I also sell $12,000 LCoS rear projection TVs and front projector that cost just as much so it's all realative. As for 1080P TV they are already out in both...

    $4700 monthly income

    Damn, that's one thing I'm glad of with home prices in California. Paid $380,000 for the current house, now worth $630,000 after two years but my property tax is based on the purchase price and only $4600 a year. If I had to pay 20k I'd be pissed. poboxjosh: Max out on 401K is actually...

    any one running 200 series on stock p5 wheels?

    Just depends on what will work ofr the suspension geometry. I had 17"s made for my old MX-6 by Budnik and they would only do a 17 X 7" to keep the stock offset and still clear the suspension components. Had to love the rims though as they were the only set of FWD Budnik Tusk made as I had to...

    Any DIY electronics gurus here? In need of power supply...

    If you are in the Los Angeles area and need one let me know and I can order it. If not you can find tons of home A/V stores that carry Niles and get it from them, no use paying for shipping when you don't have to.

    $4700 monthly income

    Double income helps a lot, between the wife and I we gross $110-120,000/yr but increased bills become a part of life as well. Since getting married we added three mortgages, paid off two of them as we sold those places, two car payments, less than $500/month for both cars and only $1200...

    P5's are getting old (age wise)!

    2 years and 8 months with 76,000 miles, wife does about 30,000 a year on the P5. As for hauling kids and their stuff, the P5 will do it when they are slightly older but when they are both young you really have to cram it full of stuff for a trip, which is why we have the Izusu Rodeo, cheap, good...

    any one running 200 series on stock p5 wheels?

    Sidewall stength seems to be pretty good, definitely better than the Dunlops. As for snow, couldn't tell you as it doesn't snow here, I'm in Southern California only time we see snow is when we go to visit the wife's family in Japan.
