    Remember Sir Nuke?

    wow... I too was welcomed warmly wayway back in the day... Not nearly as gnarly, but a motorcycle spill got me too, took a spill on my Z1000 at 70 on I5 last year. blewup my kneecap, had surgery, then managed to pull it apart again 2weeks later while out on my crutches slipping in the rain. I...

    Project: Quiet v2

    Mostly Elemental is a f'd up company run by a severe douchebag. If you want to kill noise cheaply, use synthetic carpet pading, and ALOT of it. Focus on your wheelwells, but really, them loud buzzy exhausts are loud and buzzy. I eventually caved in and put a real muffler back on. Call me old,

    Largest door speakers

    I managed to fit kicker 8" ssmb's in mine, unfortunately I managed to blow them when trying to max-out a new amp setup, so it's back to measely 5-1/4" for mids at the moment. I'll find pics for you in a bit. It's REALLY snug, and does, indeed take a bit of trimming and/or cleverness. Here we...

    Seattle area advice for a newly relocated brother...

    so I'm a cheapass, think I'm actually just gonna give it a whirl ghetto-rigging it in the driveway. Brought home some tools from work, and with niv's how-to I think I'm good. Schwabbie's spendy because they replace full calipers with rebuilt ones. I'd sorta rather not go that route when the only...

    Seattle area advice for a newly relocated brother...

    I should mention that the reson I'm looking for someplace to do it is I fear with teh metal on metalbit that I may need my rotors resurfaced.

    Well, it's all up in the air at the moment, nothing settled at all, but there is, indeed a fairly serious possibility that it may happen.

    front grille

    front bumper removal isn't THAT difficult. It IS possible to use some RTV silicone depending on teh exact location, but mostly, welcome to the wonderful world of rattle chasing. Next, I recommend getting at your muffler guard.

    MP5 speaker layout

    5x7's are bigger than 6.5's. Also, the rear size is 6" not 6.5 you can fit a 6.5 but you need to pay careful attn to trimming the ring that extends back off of hte doorpanel so it doesn't cutup your surrounds. mostly, however replacing rears is pointless especially in a p5. The only reason for...

    ? About tweaters on a p5

    try postingup in the audio section perhaps? YES there are stock sailpanel tweeters available, HOWEVER.... If you really want to improve your sound this is a poor way to go. Primarily stock tweeters are cheap film ones that are marginally better than the whizzer cones on the stock speakers...

    Washington Meet Anyone?

    Sofar I think it's all us easites that are for it. Atleast in the past it was difficult to coax the seattleites toofar from home. I think the reason it's not as bad for us to go there is there's generally other seattle thigns we'd include in the trip. As for Kellogg, I'm heading up there for...

    Audio system poll, lets hear your opinion

    Really what this all comes down to is speakers are a PERSONAL thing. You still seem to want someone else to make a decision for you. This migth save you some time, and there's obviously some knowledge around here, but part of it is that at this point there's tons of options, and who knows what...

    P5 Audio Setup Advice

    I'm not saying its on a level of entirely incompatible, but I often find that I windup having to settle for gains being higher than I normally would prefer. I DO realize the actual output is NOT 8v, but then agian when was the last time someone's 5v pre-out actually put out 5? What it comes...

    Washington Meet Anyone?

    *heh* yak would be fine by me, but I generally make the assumption that it's best to cater to the wetsiders... (also I don't really have ANY spare crashable space to offer at this time so I'd feel guilty) Mostly, though we don't want them trying to brave passes and drive in ACTUAL snow... I've...
