  1. Until you have to come in for supplies. Oh and don't drop anchor.
  2. I was happy with Rock Trailer Sales when I got my trailer. They also have a racer discount on trailer accessories (tie-downs, etc). Just be sure to ask for it.

    Allergies

    There's a decongestant version. But you have to get it from the pharmacy counter.

    Allergies

    Zyrtec over the counter. When my allergies hit (fall mold/animal dander leading to sneezing, swollen eyes and a gushing nose) I take a double dose (2 pills) to get things rolling then 1 pill every 24 hours after that and it usually shuts my allergies down completely.
  5. They need to double-up the roll-up with a two-part poly foam injection system to solidify that wall in emergencies. It's a weak spot otherwise. It'll hold up to a standard slow-zombie attack. But if the Zompocalypse comes via single-brain zombies, a concerted effort may breach it.
  6. This was posted a few spots above you. They're doing trials in SE Asia and have no plans to go further with it yet. Might as well not exist. Does the amp control the volume or the audio player? What are the downsides to the car pc amp? If we can come up with a workable solution I think I'm going to tackle this in the BRZ.
  7. Might as well be vaporware. Very relevant. I hope this makes its way to the big car audio companies. What do the Car PC guys do?
  8. Yes, but not so obscenely large. I want to use a smaller tablet that will fit in a double din gap and look almost factory. *look at the date* *look at my phone* *look at the date again* Day late and dollar short. The only one I've seen is either a stock Audi unit or a chinese unit. Anything in the US isn't likely near market and will be delayed and finally come out as a shadow of what it could be.
  9. Is that the sweet spot? Hmm.. I'll have to see what I can find. I haven't really wanted to upgrade a stock stereo for a while since I've never seen an alternative that I liked. But this sounds like it might be a fun project..
  10. If I were to get another AE86, I'd be all over BRAID classic rims. http://www.teamilluminata.com/Shop/Braid/compclassics.htm All three of those would look sweet, IMO.
  11. I won't make this one. Gonna drive a friend out to Fort Wayne so he can check out some used cars.
  12. This was the hardest I've laughed in a long time. :lolguy:
  13. Similar idea, yes. Here's the thing.. My phone does everything I want my car's head unit to do, and it does it better than any head unit you can buy. Google Maps is the best GPS software I've ever used, I can stream audio over the internet with different apps, track my actual speed and mileage, and so many other things. So I was thinking I could rig an android tablet in place of a head unit.
  14. I might as well keep the stock headunit then... I am so amazingly disappointed in car audio. EDIT: Not the sound quality, but the interfaces and functionality.
  15. I know amps come with RCA inputs, would a headphone jack to RCA cable be all I need?
  16. There might be some Car PC overlap to. So, I'm really disappointed in the state of car head units. Their interfaces suck and their features are made laughable by cell phones/mp3 players that cost half as much. Car PCs are neat, but clunky still. What I want is my phone or other developed android/iPhone device as a head unit. So my question is: Is there a device that can take a standard audio feed and connect it to a car's amp without a head unit involved? Something that will take it's volume cues from the audio feed. Basically, I'd like to get a simple android tablet with WiFi and mount it where the head unit would be and connect its audio to the car's sound system. Is there a way to do this? Am I stuck with a head unit, or will a simple miniplug jack to RCA cable to an amp be all I need? Thanks.
  17. Wimp seems a little flaky today, may have to try twice.

Yeah, I've seen this befo... WTF! http://www.wimp.com/russiaride/ Ever say "I'm too old to do that"?

  18. Some people need to be hit by a Clue-by-Four.. repeatedly.. and often.
  19. Looks like I'm staying off Olentangy.. Kenny to Kinnear today..
  20. Kid needs to stop sleeping through physics class. :lolguy:
  21. The current Juke-R is a one-off concept done for fun. The suspension is not well tuned. Evo magazine did an article on it and it had some issues cornering because the GTR suspension was essentially just welded onto the Juke unibody. As for the weight, I'm shocked if it weighs more. The GTR is around 900lbs heavier than the base Juke. I can't imagine the GTR's powertrain weighing nearly half a ton.
  22. DSS is the only place to get R180 diff to WRX knuckle axles. They also make some really bombproof stuff.
  23. It gets the whole GTR treatment, including the AWD system.
  24. He makes some good points. And I think a lack of grassroots support is one reason why the average motorsports competitor is aging. But Subaru does have contingency programs in the SCCA. I could win 1200 at the National Championship. And any successful series needs factory teams and an audience. So I don't care about the jump that much, or that there are rockstar drivers. But if it's all factory teams, then I can see there being a bad imbalance that could backfire on the series.
