    zx-6 vs gsx r 600

    As far as performance goes, if you are buying a new 600 sportbike from the big 4 you won't notice a difference if you are only a beginner. They are all monsters. As far as a beginner bike goes i thnk the GSXR is more streetable than the Kawi. That might just be personal preference though...

    New Custom enclosure

    LOL. Its known as VIP style. Known as Bippu in Japan. Thats where it originated. Check out Vip'ed Lexus'es they look badass to me. I say to each their own. I personally think flatspoke wheels are retarded. And most look the exact same. And donked cars look even more ridiculous. But some like...

    hifisoundconnection...any ever deal with them?

    I have dealt with them on 2 different occasions. Screwed both times. I know, I should have learned the first time. But i thought it was a fluke. The last time it took 2 months for my diamond subs to arrive. I even emailed before and asked if they had them in stock. They said yes. That was the...

    New Custom enclosure

    In a word. Yes. For looks. And it doesn't affect tire performance too much. I just drove from San Diego to STL and the tires aren't that much worse for wear.

    New Custom enclosure

    Stretched tires have a big Xb following. I know alot of guys who prefer a stretched fat lipped 15 over a flatspoke 18. Plus i truly believe that with some negative camber and airbags those 15's will look better than almost all flatspoked wheels.

    New Custom enclosure

    I don't really have a good answer for you. I could bs you but it would be pointless and you would know it was bs. The best reason i can give you is because when they were bought they only had 2 of the 8.5's. And waiting for wheels sucks. AME's are pretty hard to come by, and i didnt feel like...

    New Custom enclosure

    AME Shallen LX's. 15x8 in front and 15x8.5 in back. I want to go to 17's but those 15's cost 2500 and 17's were close to 750 a wheel before shipping when i was wheel shopping.

    New Custom enclosure

    Thanks all. And inside the car it sounds good. Kinda bass heavy(no kidding right) Outside the car if the hatch is up it sounds great. Hatch closed it vibrates everything on the car. I have dynomat waiting to get put in. I just havent had the time.

    New Custom enclosure

    So my friend just built a custom enclosure for me. Its a dual chamber, wrapped in two tone microsuede. Also posted pics of my car if anyone is interested. Oh and if we could refrain from calling the car ugly it would be awesome. Enjoy!!! Equipment: Elemental Design 9.1 amp for subwoofers 4...

    Windshield price?

    I used to install autoglass. And off the top of my head i say a 91 civic shouldnt run more than 200$$ to install. And you could used junkyard glass. But chances are there will be nicks and road grime. plus you still have to install it. Oh and you should NEVER have to pay more than 160 to have...

    why that was nice

    Nah i don't hate the Airforce. But there is definitely a different mentality then the Corps. When i was stationed at NAS Pensacola i talked to a few. Most were really cool, a few called me an ASVAB waiver. I actually had to bring them a copy out of my SRB showing my 97th %. There are hardcore...
