  6. Why not just track down the identical speaker and shove it back in the existing box?
  7. Lol. Reporting live from wild wings cafe in Hilton head. Surrounded by pussy-ass geriatric Florida fans. Laughing my ass off right now. My drinking partner is passed out already.
  8. Meh, it beats anything automotive that I've ever done. I give it the nod. Worth whatever slap on the wrist he gets
  9. I knew my wallet felt heavier this morning. Saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands
  10. It's not cheap to me, but its cheap in terms of custom homes, and some of the bullshit designer Kohler tubs. I can't remember the last time I took a bath, but if,you're building an epic master bed/bath, you need a tub.
  11. And I've been eating corn for a week in hopes of an 'all corn' shit I can lay on the hood of that beast. All the hype surrounding the car even if it makes 2000hp it will be a letdown.
  12. There's always a depends. I went with a custom builder. I didn't build. I remodeled and added a 2500 sq ft addition onto my house and bricked/stoned the house. What I was saying is that all the custom builders I interviewed would certainly install anything you gave them, but if you bought a shitty $1k tub from lowes because you didn't want to buy the more expensive Kohler tub, the plumber might not warranty the cheaper tub. Plumbing was really the only place I ran into this. Everything else was our choice. Our basement is a heated slab, and I've been happy we went with the boiler. We've tried our best to run it out of hot water and haven't been able to. Most builders are not going to be ok with the buyer showing up with all the lumber, brick, plumbing, electrical, etc sitting in the driveway and telling the builder to build them a house. I pushed the limit of any builder's patience with my attention to detail and overall expectations. We were given some hard numbers and thankfully we were within 10% of the original estimate. At least 5% of that was stuff I just decided to add midway through (barrel vaulted bedroom ceiling with l.e.d. Starlit sky), etc. in the end, I wanted to have the best house in my neighborhood. We loved the lot, and basically spent what we originally paid for the house to add onto it and remodel.
  13. Depends. Our builder gave us allowances for everything, and got quotes from a couple subs at my request. Could have gone with hot water tanks or a boiler, geothermal or heated slab. Of course they have preferred subs, but if you don't like a particular sub there are always options. Most of the subs get deals at their suppliers. We picked all our plumbing shit at a yuppie plumbing store. We pick out things around our fixture budget, and then the plumber surely gets a cheaper price from that store. If we buy over 10% of the fixtures from lowes or where ever, there's no warranty and there's an up charge
  14. At the end of the day a douchebag with a 2000hp car is still a douchebag.
  15. Most builders who do custom homes are capable of doing good work. It's just a matter of being there to check every last detail, proper planning, and holding them to deadlines, etc. we just completed a massive custom remodel/addition. I'm happy with the result but would rather not ever do this again. We lived in the house during the job, and it kind of sucked. But I was able to examine everything
  16. "this guy is racing with a hondahh 2000" looks like a hack job. 318rwhp ain't shit these days, sub-3000lbs or not. i'll pass
  17. fuck the NCAA and all the double standard, bullshit. its football time bitches!!!!!!
  18. search function is your friend bro^^^
  19. Every single thing done to that car was done wrong. Google "how to fuck up a supra" and this will appear. $35k? Lol.
  20. i don't know him from sally. the point is, if you run a business, you will be much more successful if you treat each customer like a v.i.p.. including the 20 year olds with 'dumb questions'. you never know who is going to be a great customer. who is going to be an excellent referral source (they might be dirt poor and bring their janky dsm in for a b.s. job). or who is going to look like a great customer but be a royal pain in the ass. as a customer purchasing a product/service, i will 'size up' the shop with some emails/phone calls/simple jobs, before i go for a bigger job. if someone answered my phone call "hello, do you also have a stupid question?", they would never get my business, no matter how competent they were. i might just visit the shop to take a shit on someone's desk. part of maximizing your success is simply being nice to people-
  21. :lolguy: impressive build. 143 trap?? wowsers
  22. so in order to spend $xx,xxx on mods to my car and have him do a good job, i have to get to know him first for him to be kewl with me?? :dumb: i got no time for that stupid shit

    Man Garage

    congrats. i'll have to post up some pics of my garage, now that i have added hot/cold water, and a urinal. i have a 12' wide, 12' tall door, and minimum 12' ceilings with 20' at the peak---its awesome. no problems with a lift. i'm also just under 60' X 40' with a 10' X 10' front office and a 12' X 12' rear 'cold room' storage for chemicals/lawn equipment/compressor, that utilizes a standard single car garage door
  24. Yep. I have factory heads with a cnc port, better hardware/valves, and milled I agree, there's an issue, and its a design flaw. I've spent way too much time reading what the possible cause is and haven't heard definitive answer
  25. What's getting done to it? 6k miles here. 2k have been with h/c/I/exhaust. Every single time I take this car out at some point I'm going 100+mph.
