  1. It's a good thing for a number of reasons. Holidays with family, time off from work, Football, Hockey, Interwebz cruising, Summer in Australia. It also means you are putting up your car for the winter. Starting projects that you wanted to do during the summer but didn't want to have the car/truck down. Well it's the perfect time for a Sale. Talk has been thrown around all summer while we got this ball rolling for a group buy/discounted work sort of deal. Here's the quick and dirty version: You can get up to a 20% discount on work we do for you. Based off of how much you spend, you'll get a better discount. Up to $150.00 10% off. $151.00-$249.00 15% off. $250.00 and up 20% off. "But Erik, how can you do that?" (think Billy Mays voice here) I am notoriously cheap, almost to a fault. Even my kids call me out on it. I know that everyone here loves to save money too. That and I want to see a whole bunch of pretty parts next summer. We have talked with a bunch of you through the summer and fall waiting for the warm seasons to end so you can start your winter projects. Send PM or call, and we will discuss what you need done, colors and what not. Get you a quote, and coat some parts.
  2. I go to Speedway all the time. Almost obsessively, I love racking up the points. I have cashed in like 70K this year. I usually fill up at the begining and midway through week. I drive typically 6-700 miles a week. The Golf is averaging about 35 on freeway and 25 in city. Not bad for 195K 4 popper. I do keep the tires pumped way up, typically 40-45 psi. Oil changes I have found are critical. As well as filters. I haven't really seen too many gains or losses from ignition components on a largely stock vehicle. Intake and exhaust are a factor in that too. BP on the other hand has never gone well for any car I've owned. I thought I saw a report in TV once that said 95% of all gas comes from the same DC and is blended on site at the station. Meaning the pump runs from two tanks from the Low Octane and High Octane and gives you the mid grade.
  3. Try Performance Automotive on Roberts Rd. Chris is a stand up guy.
  4. My wife and I kept an entire house full for several years after her GP passed years ago. It's a long process. Agonizing at times, but she has slowly worked through it. Much of it went as donationw towards the illness that took him, he would have wanted it that way. You will make the final decision. Your family will respect that. Put it in storage, and work one box at a time. It's taken Monika six years to work it to a manageable level. Ps. There is more to CR than Ti***es and beer. I think.
  5. OH. Just like in procs when you overclock, you gotta bump the voltage up. Gotcha. Free program?
  6. Thats cool. I cant come to use Sense just because of lagginess and i love the icons on the dock. I came from the Iphone 3g then to hero then to evo. So i like the dock. But i have a lot of widgets. Which is the reason i get less battery life then you do at 2 days. I get at least 1 full day of use. Which is still good. The theme you have is cool but i like stock appearing themes with just a hint of changes. I like my setup now. Ill give myn a try and see whats up. What is HAVS by the way?
  7. I am the same way with my nephew. What started as a quickie build has snowballed into a huge build. It'll be a beast when it's finally done, but geez. Drive the damn thing!
  8. Something from these guys may be your best bet. Kinda makes me want to build one. It won't sound like a V8, but it'll be better than stock. http://supercoupeperformance.com/ http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/
  9. I have 3 profiles. Runs very good. Saves a lot of battery. Havent tried myn. Any good themes for it? I dont like what the stock theme looks like. You like ADB or launcherpro better?
  10. Have setcpu? Even better after getting that. Frost 2.1 seems a little buggy tho. 1.X seemed better. Not as fast or as many programs with it tho
  11. xdadevelopers developers developers developers developers. Sign up.
  12. Root and install fresh, frost, or any other good rom and itll be much faster and much better battery life
  13. I have an evo. If you or anyone needs programs, let me know. I can help anyone with the phone with rooting or questions, or programs they want. I have some good ones :thumb:
  14. Don't worry, if the opportunity to move back ever was made available it would happen. Bengals fans......
  15. You no funny. My bet is a Mustang.
  16. Is it breaking because of the mods he's doing? Or because it's junk? There are a lot of people (here included) that are making payments as well as modding their cars. If he's getting wild with it and keeps finding the weak links eventually he'll have them all sorted out. He has accepted the fact that this will happen, and is willing to sacrifice. Or he's very stubborn.
  17. It's been a rebuilding decade. If anything goes proper over the winter next year will infinitely better. Even if I pop into the 12's I'll be happy.
  18. Margurita's and Ruebens, all in one night. Guaranteed Poo-fest.
  19. Wifey and I will be there. I'll even do 88 to not be outatime.
  20. Congrats. Norah is 5 going on 25. I'm dreading the day she makes it to that place. Actually I fear for the boys. She won't take any crap from anyone.
  21. Never have to use one. Long needle nose pliers. The tool is ghey. Any timing chain rattle?
