I just bought a pair of JL speakers... they came with a two year warranty... is that a good brand?? (I know NOTHING when it comes to sound stuff)
My baby is in the paint bay finally (got pushed back because of crappy weather. heh. imagine that)
New (black) paint job, Flowmaster Cat Back, we're shaving off the antenna (it doesnt work anyways), putting on an antenna that'll go on the hatchback, replacing the o2 sensors and throwing in some new speakers... she'll be ready to go Monday!!
I just bought her a new set of (cheap) tires in October, so she's all set to go for this summer. I bought the cheap ones cuz then I wont feel so bad doing a burn out? hah.
oh... I think I might need new brakes. When I push the pedal, *it doesnt make any noise* it feels like i'm putting my foot through the floor to stop it.... but maybe it just needs brake fluid?? eh... who knows.

Yeah man that was me. Finally got moved into the apartment off of Merle Hay behind Dahl's. Next time try to get my attention, haha.
I am going to be sending my PCM out to Speed next week. Rodney and I are installing my cam this weekend and I want to be able to drive it somewhat normal after the swap. Think it will run ok with the mail order tune for the time being? I need to then find a time to get it out there for a full dyno tune.
