Thanks for the replies so far. The reason I'm going with a touchscreen is it's easier for me to see. My vision leaves much to be desired and the smaller, hard button remotes are too small for me. I've tried the generic universal remotes but I literally have to hold the thing 2 inches from my...

I'm looking for a universal touchscreen remote now that I've got my new tv and stereo setup and trying to find a good remote. Don't want to drop a huge amount on it either. My little research so far has led me to the Sony RM-Av3000/3100, the Philips Pronto TSU3000, and Marantz RC5000i. Anyone...

Call me odd but that totally reminded me of that show MXC (Most Extreme Elimination). Haha, anyone else? Conor

First of all, sorry for you troubles. That's truly a major setback you've been dealt. You did the right thing though contacting your lawyer. If it was in the contractual agreement and it was done incorrectly, then I do believe you have a strong case against the builders. You might have to have...

I would side with Clarkson on this one. If I'm paying $100k+ for a car, it needs to work. Not just certain parts but all of it. Maybe most people would tolerate it but not me. And after waiting 25 years to own a car like the GT(40), I would be very dissapointed if it malfunctioned like it did...

Tony- Car sounds great. Nice and strong and a sweet tone to it. Congrats and nice choice. Conor

I'm more a fan of the AC so my windows are rarely down during the summer and with near limo tint, no one sees in so I don't have to say or do anything except let them make a lot of noise and look foolish. Though I have pulled the "I'm a cop" but before and the look on their face is usually worth...

Congrats on the new car and great dyno runs! Any mods to the X yet or are those stock numbers? Also I don't mean to get off topic, but what are those cars in the background on the second picture? The red one looks like a Vector or Venturi, anyone? Conor

Winreboot - What kit were you using? Was the turbo placed above the engine or below it? Being placed below and behind the block would seem to be the easiest to tap for a return there on the oil pan and would make for less lag IMO with a shorter exhaust route...It's so much easier when it...

Oil system for turbo NSX's... I'm new to turbocharging NSX's but I've been dealing with factory turbo cars for years now. I was wondering what kind of oil system do turbo NSX's use? Is there a seperate sump needed or can you tap from say the head or block? (for either oil or water cooled turbo...

Steveny- I would guess that four Carvers running what, some 1400 odd watts would defintely get some attention from the local authorities. I'm still trying to narrow down the choices as I won't have a permanante home here in Texas until the summer so I'll probably wait until then to get the...

First off, the room and setup look amazing. Very tasteful and quality work and equipment being used there. Two questions though, 1) Could you post some pics to show the rest of the room? I'd like to see how the seating and everything else is setup. And 2) Just curious as to why you went with Def...

Here's SOS's page for NA power adders... Take a look at what they have to offer. But as was mentioned, go with headers and exhaust first to open the engine up. Then you can look into larger throttle bodies, ported heads, larger-displacement, and so on. Good luck and take care. Conor

Okay fellow Texans, I need some help here. My car is registered in Maryland but I'm at school here in Texas (Baylor University). My registration and tags are due in late November or early December which means I'd have to take the car back home to do all that and that's neither probable nor...

Those stupid Quiznos commercials where they had that nasty rodent looking thing with the snaggle-tooth problem...those commercials for some reason really got under my skin. I haven't been back to Quiznos since then. Conor

Perhaps people just aren't accustomed to paying for high price German parts and service. I've never had a problem with our Mercedes S-Class or our E36 3 Series BMW. The Mercedes is approaching 240k miles and the 3 series is around 170k. Both cars seem to be bulletproof and keep on hauling and...

Merc's are absolutely wonderful cars in my opinion. They're bulletproof and are very nice to drive. Personally, I like the newer body style E class over the 99 model year. But if you're looking to replace your Legend, Mercedes would be a company to go with. The engine on the 430 is very stout...

For some, it doesn't make a difference at all. I would personally go with the stainless because it A) looks nicer and B) it will stand up to the elements (not that they're are that many snow storms in Dallas, but you never know ;) But the muffler and tips you're looking at will defintely work...

The 18" (#12468) will be more quiet than the 14". I don't think it'll make a world of difference, but I think there will be some. The Magnaflows are known to give a very deep, nice tone but not be obnoxiously loud. I've heard by a few people who switched to a Magnaflow system that it's not...

To start, here's a thread about using the Magnaflow #11386 muffler Magnaflow muffler which is a dual in, dual out muffler available in both aluminized steel and stainless steel. Others such as Brian2by2 are using a Flowmaster muffler that is designed for 80's Camaros. Here's the muffler from...

Luckily I have yet to find myself in a situation like that and pray that I won't ever. However, knowing myself and my fight or flight response, I would prob. react offensively. Seeing people like this from Baltimore when grew up in Maryland, I too know that there is no reasoning with them. I...

CMHS75 - I think you're right about it not being a Stradale. It's a 360 Challenge. You can tell by the front tow hook, hood and trunk pins, roll cage, the air intake scoop that is formed into the back window, and the single exhaust pipes rather than the normal, quad tips. Though, this particular...

You might give www.gunbroker.com a try. I haven't bought/sold anything on there before but I do look from time to time. Hope it helps, take care. Conor

While I was gone, someone signed on their AIM screen name and clicked a link that had some kind of virus of sorts on it. Now, every 30 seconds or so, instant messenger will pop up a window showing this away message "OMFG LOOK http://pics99.blogsite.org/friends.scr !!!!! " I've tried to locate...
