I'll have to check that out, thanks!

Lightbulb The Speed Limits are Bigger in Texas

I ran across this photo I took a few months back, taking advantage of our speedy new section of 130. Thought I'd give it a share since the timing worked out so well

jyn let me know if you want a F n A kit, I have their kit 3 I can sell you. I used it for a while and loved it. Decided to just replace my whole lower light with a valenti one. Also this kit will not work if you have toms it will overload relay with the flasher function.

Got a ticket on 2222 today on the way back from lunch. I should have known a moto cop would be there at that dip before it gets twisty heading westbound. First speeding ticket since I was 16, and second time to be pulled over in the past 6 days. (first was a warning in another town far, far away)

Looks good, I've decided I'm not going to be installing a sub as my primary purpose for the car beyond daily driving is autocross and I also use the trunk space quite often when travelling. I was strongly considering something like this prior to focusing on cone bashing; it looks good and looks like you paid someone too much money to set it up.

Me and a coworker tackled it together. I did all the carpeting. He did most of the wordwork. We drew it up in sketchup. But yes, it is heavy. But I couldn't care less. And, I don't really need the space in the car anyways. Spent a couple weekends before wiring it all up, so it was pretty straight forward once I got the box actually in the car

If you're curious, 2x $40 subs, 1 $100 amp, 4x8 3/4" MDF $40, carpet $20 .. other misc accessories.. about $250 for the whole thing.



I also thought I would never actually do audio in this car, since I was always more focused on the driving experience, but the idea of a custom sub box lured me in

I am not sure. There is a tiny little driveway at one of the dips just after Mesa heading towards 360. I only saw him after I was done and driving past the BBQ place, but before Sienna.

That sucks. Gotta remember...cops are terrible at the end of every month. As soon as it's the 25th of the month just drive like a grandma until the next month starts. Cops set up so many speed traps for those last few days.

Nice! Did you happen to tell him I recommended you? Jerry is one of the nicest dudes around. Glad he was able to get you taken care of.
