NICE SETUP MIKE AND CONGRATS ON THE #'s!!!!!


Sharif was telling me about your car this week and needless to say you have a beast on your hands. Now if i could just get my hunk of $hit 100% fixed

 

Any plans for much wider tires? Or widebody?

 

Correction** I did mean to say Pioneer...I dont know why I said Alpine The Pioneer AVIS is what was offered to me along with the Kenwood by Alex @ FP. I will PM you for sure for more info...THX Doug as always.


I am already at 305X25X20 ... I dont want to go any wider. The widebody would attract trouble
External Traction Control is my next move.

Thanks Chris....

I saw your ride ..REAL CLEAN !!! From what I was told..you should be OK soon..keep me updated !!

 

Yup...always been a fan of the Pioneer Avic xx
I had one in my Z before it became a race car....hint hint XKR.

 

^ Im tellin you the Alpine F1 line is where it is at, I have it in my bmw and it sounds amazing.

 

u guys hsould look into mayb mass produc the aluminum bar for the front its something nice for chassis stiffning id prob buy 1 if the price was reasonable

 

Hey doug,

Thanks for the pointers. I haven't spent any time yet in the audio section here.

Any recommendations for amplifiers? What amp setup do you have?

 

Gotcha. So no issues with that size and your VDC? Do you know your offsets and are your fenders rolled? Did you notice a difference in traction going to the 305s?

 

No VDC issues...fenders are rolled...as far as the offset....I will look into that for you...I am not sure myself. The Drum was custom made...On the way back from FP, I damaged my front rim. Looks like i have to buy a whole new set bacause Maido/Maya does not make that model anymore "F"

Yes....the traction of the 305 is good. The Yoko Advan is good when the tire is new...but after 5000 miles...feels like driving on ice

 

Thanks for the info. That sucks about your front rim! At least now, there are a lot more wheel choices out there.

Good, because once I get my fenders rolled, I'm moving up to 305s.

 

Amps.. i can't really say which are better than which.. what you want to look for is RMS Watts and Distortion..

Thanks CoachK....I knew you were a kool guy...you know 8 tracks are the real deal...all this hype about CD wont last for long

 

you always need good sound when the car starts making these weird noises and you just don't feel like going crazy .. turn that b!tch up

oh did the audio install myself... took 4 days off work.. took my time... even ran new speaker wires in the door

couple days in:

 

I am going retro and just custom fitting a vinyl record player in my hatch. Gonna let Pimp My Ride hook me up!

 

Very nice, job well done. I can't for my turn hopefully its sooner then later.

 

Thats a clean job man...I like it

Thats what I am talking about !!!

 

Do you guys even have vinyl?! I'm so old, I have original Fleetwood Mac, Boston and many other LPs.
