That looks pretty awesome. Did a little more exploring and I found this stuff which would go together, and it's a little over half the price. would this all be a good deal?

Cheap prices as they are a reduced price from what every where else wants for the amp and sub. would they be as good or better?

If you wanna go bold, look for a NAPA automotive and ask for legitimate 2ga wire. 16 feet is usually about $60. That's what I always do. Not the cheapest option, but it's at least what you're paying for.

My wallet is $770 lighter, and the car needs a new master cylinder now because the mechanic figured out that the rear chamber is broken, so the rear brakes can't be bled. Must be my lucky day!

A subaru legacy is just a bigger impreza hatch, no? Both of them have risen to the top of my vehicle consideration list.

I have a 2002 Impreza TS and can confirm it's the tits even though it's slow as dirt

So.. water pumps gaskets. What's up with those.

Slant six water pump gasket is least offensive or just a chode. [IMG]http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/g/5~oAAOSwpzdWs6Ea/s-l225.jpg[/IMG]

It honestly makes me wonder.. people had to design these. People like us. If I designed that I would've stepped back and went.. "heh.. heh heh". I wonder if they did, too.

Now, the slant six waterpump itself... [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5FIAAOxygPtSsb7t/s-l300.jpg[/IMG]

I bought a bunch of Beetle parts! The only visible thing being this exhaust system: [t]http://puu.sh/nl7x3.jpg[/t] The other stuff is clutch, pressure plate, wires for the heating, ect. [editline]25th February 2016[/editline] This is gonna be like night and day [t]http://puu.sh/nlcIV.jpg[/t]

Hmm. My drivers side caliper bolt is loose, but wont come the fuck out. Help

Speaking of motorcycles, what is this style of bike called? The kind where the tank and seat are at the same elevation, but without the flare on the front. I'm thinking something like the Triumph Scrambler, but the kind of bike it's trying to imitate. I would like to get one, but older. I know this is making sense to someone. This is a GPZ550 for sale for $400. It's kinda like what I want minus the plastic flare on the front around the headlight, but I'm trying to search the style itself and don't know what it is.

it's called a "standard"

I just call them 80s jap cruisers

[QUOTE=butre;49815097]it's called a "standard"[/QUOTE] That's it? How un-complicated. Thanks.

[QUOTE=butre;49815097]it's called a "standard"[/QUOTE] but yeah thats correct

[QUOTE=Birdman101;49815137]but yeah thats correct[/QUOTE] Yeah that brought up the kind i want. I just want to ride through a forest with my raptors is all.

I think I found what I want really. A Sym Wolf 150. It's a taiwanese bike and it's real cheap. Does 60mph. That's pretty much perfect. I just want it to ride from my house to my shop and that's it.

I love 80s jap cruisers When my gaskets come in the mail Im gonna replace the transmission in my CX500 and repaint a few parts, tidy up some wiring, trash my garbo 40$ windshield, and it should be all nice and ready for springtime. Im also periodically scanning craigslist for a red goldwing 1200 aspencade, cheap and in poor shape for my next project. I wanna slather it with running lights and chrome so I can take super comfortable roadtrips and look like a 100% pimpin motherfucker. [editline]25th February 2016[/editline] I mean look at this shit [IMG]http://www.gogocycles.com/images/custom-1985-goldwing-aspencade-for-sale-21722904.jpg[/IMG]

[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5601782/EF%20Pics/2016-02-24%2014.55.02.jpg[/t] Got the tires for my Civic a couple days ago, they're definitely a nice bit wider and the rubber really fills the wells. Holy shit some nice rubber under this car is amazing, I'm really not sure which car is more fun to drive now since at slow speeds the Civic totally trashes my Integra with just constant grip. I don't think I can make it understeer under like 30mph :v: I cannot wait for a nice warm dry day to go up the mountains, I think both these cars are really close handling wise if not the Civic being better now due to rubber. I've hit some stuff as hard as I hit it in the Integra and it skips and bounces a little in the rear while the Civic just goes through like it's nothing. I can't imagine what this car would do with a real spring/shock setup.. I think the amount of effort to turn the wheel has also been reduced somehow as well, may have to do with a higher tire pressure though.

Thats the word ive used to describe my pimpwing pipe dream before: the dekotora truck of bikes. aaaaand i just realized im not gonna be able to swap the tranny on my cx500 without dropping the motor and removing the rear cover AGAIN. And if ive got the morot out i might as well touch up the paint on the motor and clearcoat the whole thing. soooooooo... i guess the current transmission isnt that bad, i think ill keep using it until it grenades or loses a gear or something.

ICBC said they won't let me go for my full drivers license in my car because the windshield being cracked. Something about interfering with my driving and the evaluator, even though it's below the horizon and I have an unobstructed view all the way to the curb. They want me to pay to have it replaced for $450. You can take my old timing belt and hang your Monopoly ass. I'll just keep my Novice license for another eight years.

Make a new one out of perspex, they wont know the difference. By all definition it's still a windshield :ok:

I put my application in to somewhere that I'm not toooo proud of, but tired of my bosses gay shit. :/ the application stayed something like "Start Date" I put "Whenever you say jump." [editline]26th February 2016[/editline] I guess its a good thing the next morning they attempted to call me for which devision and stuff I would like to go in....

As long as its not walmart, it cant be too shameful.
