Dear Ca.com, my love for car audio is on the rocks

Welcome to the club; don't think I've been into Car Audio since 2002. I just came here because of a breakin / my audio was stolen. Never left because of all you wonderful people.

Nitrous fries your engine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
It's not worth it. Get a turbo, S/C, or even a blower.

B!tch's go "WEEEEEEEAAAA!" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/driving.gif.c4dead4599dda895032b63e51f52b126.gif

Depends what you are putting it on and who does it, lol! I did mine on my z24 cavalier with quite a bit of work to it. But 100 shot of NOS after many times using it warped my head, lawlers!

Timeslips?

Who me? IIRC it was in the high 12's, low 13's. I don't have TS anymore. This was back in 2001.

if you're asking me, I guess I could scan a timeslip in but its nothing super fast. 8.78 at the 1/8th mile track.

True. Not a bad time in the 1/8th.

Im lucky to have a very good 1/4 mile track very close.

I run around 9.0s in my Stang in the 1/8th.

Cool, they just closed the one near me last year. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif *****!

I have to drive a good hour now to go to a 1/4th mile track.

So no new times for me for sometime.

ugh, im tired. I spent all morning waxing this damn thing!

I am contemplating (Did I spell that right, lol!) on taking my car to go get detailed or do it myself. I need a lot of interior cleaning that I know I will not get it right. Like the cloth seats, have stains all through out them and my car is only an 06. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I can get it detailed for 100 smacks and that includes everything. Want to do this before my wedding.

Think that is a good price?

I must be getting old. Or just bored. Im here to admit that ive been sliding away more and more from car audio, and into racing.
Admittedly, its not any cheaper of a hobby. But stupid high SPL scores just dont do it for me anymore //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

ive been ever more out at the track, wednesday nights.....friday nights.....even on sundays. I might have a new addiction //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

oh, what to do ... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I spy Jackie's nova in the first pic. I've done a lot of work on TPI L98's. Very fun motors and easy to get fast. Racing is just addicting if not more so than SPL. Given the choice I'd ratehr race any day of the week. Good luck and stay safe

i too have experienced the same thing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

i just got tahoe into the 14's

 

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

Well for the last 4 years, ive been heavily into SPL competiton. Its just not "doing it" for me anymore. Every show I go to it seems like im having to force myself to go, and that's probably a sign that I shouldnt be doing it at all.

But its not like im going to rip out my wall in the jeep or something, loud is always better than not loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

**** becomes stale after awhile, no matter what it is. A little break may renew your interest in it later...who knows.

 

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

Perhaps so, maybe I need a year break from it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
