[QUOTE=Tezzanator92;34392225]What part do you want to know more about? Any idea what the model number is so I can look it up? Anything specific you need/want to know?

Checking if your radio already has an aux in: Sometimes the makers of these things, in their infinite wisdom, decide to put the auxiliary in on the back of the unit, it's just a case of either pulling it out to check, or looking for a picture on google images of the back.

Its a standard 1 cd, cd player. I honestly have no idea what kind it is apart from 2003 Sony, and at that age its more than likely not got an aux port at the back has it? (This is the bit about cars I really don't know!) Is the only options for me those awful MP3 transmitters/new stereo?

[QUOTE=bradley;34392429]Buy one new? Off ebay? That's not a very bro thing to do. :C I could have a sweet previously-AA-member-owned rack. From the kingdom united. Fuck yeah.[/QUOTE] Haha suppose. Well if you are willing to pay for delivery I'll give/sell you it. But then again selling isn't a very bro thing to do either :P Need to get a rough estimate of its worth. Also, just as long as your not part of the KKK or one of those redneck that I hear bad stories about :p

God, I hate rednecks. I live in the heart of Oklahoma in a hick town and they are... [b]E V E R Y W H E R E . . .[/b] But yeah, uh, give me a price shipped and all and I'll throw some money in my bank. You have paypal?

I'm excited for the new Dart. It's one of the few cars in the segment that is actually advancing in tech. It's going to have an Optional 9 Speed automatic. Not even Mercs have those. Plus the safety features, this would be a great beginning family car: [quote]The new Dart has many safety features, for example: brake assist, brake-lock differential, rainy brake support, hydraulic boost compensation, electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, rear backup camera and rear park assist. It has 10 airbags as standard, it also has a reactive head-restraint system, other available systems are blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection[/quote] For all of you whining that this isn't a true Dart. No shit, it's a new car. It's still faster around the turns and in a straight line for the R/T that's going to be coming out.

Everything from the brake assist to the trailer sway is standard. The rest could be pricey though.

Going to go look at some more cars later this week. Jeep vs. Ford.

talked my dad into helping me pull the engine/trans out of the supra this spring. it will give me time to fix all the little things [img]http://e.static.memegenerator.net/cache/instances/500x/13/13321/13641476.jpg[/img]

Two engines. 13b. One S4, One S5. One running with a blown oil control ring, one in storage-no idea on condition. $75 for running S5, S4 free. Saturday. Waiting on an answer. Booyah.

Ararargaragrgagh, drove by the pre '77 Black Warlock again, can't stop thinking about it. It's about a 2 km walk from my house so I'm constantly thinking about walking there but it is pretty cold out. I don't think my dad would be too happy if I bought it though, he hates stepsides and he doesn't like old trucks too much either.

Might be picking up a 12a rotary with some sort of gearbox attatched for a project motor. No idea what I'll do with it but I'll find some use I'm sure.

Love dat' blue metallic!

Ah god this is going to sound really pathetic but today I went out to do a little experiment with some new polish I picked up and I noticed the mother of stone-chips on my bonnet, I was rather upset to say the least. [I] Exhibit A: the bastard stone-chip[/I] [img]http://db.tt/GN3b8hSB[/img] Now you guys know how spotless my car is and that's because I spend a fair amount of money and time keeping it that way. I even spent £700+ on some 'Armourfend' paint protection film to cover all the areas that need protecting as it had a respray just before I bought it and wanted to keep the paintwork as spotless as I could. The issue is to do with the Armourfend, basically the entire bonnet is wrapped in the see-through film, the 'bubble' look around the chip is actually the film thats kinda bubbled up a little. I cant get to the chip to touch it up or get it refurbished without taking the entire film off the bonnet, And when its off it wont go back on so I will need to spend another few hundred I expect getting another one refitted! [I]Exhibit B: Pre-chipgate, poor guy[/I] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10275070/FRP/1.png[/img] Dammit!

Stalled on a roundabout today coming home from school, ouch. I need to take my car to the garage as when I'm doing over 30mph a whistling noise starts coming from the front of the car, hopefully it's nothing too bad (or expensive to fix). Also, the steering wheel alignment is a little bit off, have to keep the wheel at a slight turn to be going straight. Also, I put £30 worth of petrol in the tank on Tuesday and the needle is already not too far off the point where the low fuel light comes off. I have done like 70miles since Tuesday though.

Got my headlights, they are not the best quality but for 100 € ... Well that is ok

Do you need the roof rack quite soon?

Took my car to the dealership this morning for an ABS & Stability Control Light. This lovely auto was sitting in the bay. What Could have been if Pontiac hand't of folded.

Firebreather looks better

I don't really like it. I love Trans Am's so much and I'd rather they go with dignity

I thought it was a Camaro until I saw TRANS AM at the back

It is. Someone just did a little work to it

front looks super mean but the back looks like it has downs

Do you need the roof rack quite soon?[/QUOTE] Nah, not soon. It's just a cosmetic bit, going to fit it to my EG (Which I won't be getting until Jap has the money to change titles over) or make it fit just for looks mainly. And to strap stuff to if I ever need it. Couple of times I've went and picked up hoods/doors that would have been easier with a rack to strap that stuff to, since the inside is quite cramped with body parts in the back.

This happened to a kid I know. To be honest, he had it coming. He was a pretty showoff-y kind of person. [url]http://herald-citizen.com/bookmark/17299908/article-Cookeville%20teen%20killed%20three%20others%20injured%20in%20crash[/url]
