Today I have this stuck in my head/am currently listening to at work. Respect to anyone who has any idea who this band is or can listen to the whole song (not eveyone's cup o' tea)

Since we're talking about "song's stuck in my head", saw this late last night and couldn't stop hearing it in my head (with sections seamlessly fusing with the Weird Al version )

Is it weird that I find it hilarious that the room is full of white kids and that Coolio conducted that audience surprisingly well?

I was singing the Wierd Al version when it came on at the mall the other day. Hahaha

But this is the Wierd Al song I always get stuck in my head

Two weeks and still no computer? wtf?

Unfortunately I've been busy all morning and my day is chugging. It's my Friday though, so I'm looking forward a 3-day weekend at least.

Yeah. It isn't helping that I got to move offices after a week here, which I'm sure didn't help. But why they couldn't get that done beforehand is beyond me.

3 Day weekend is nice. Thats another mess with this new county contract. I have this Monday off for Columbus day, but staff do not. Still trying to figure out if I need to come in since they cant conduct hearings without me present.

Aw yeah, Enkei posted my pic on their official FB page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...8546228&type=1

Haha. I was planning to black out my headlights this weekend actually. Still unsure of the Perrin since you have to remove the bumper to service the filter. Thats like once a year for me plus I want something carb legal. But the perrin has such good reviews Im torn. Haha.

Hmm, I'm in the market for an intake and was interested in the perrin one but didn't realize you had to remove the bumper to install and service. Guess it's aem or trd

you know, i was about to bite the bullet on a trd intake as well, but after more reading and finding a thread on intake and filter comparisons, it's the best bang for your buck to just do a drop in filter. and i mean i was SET to get the trd intake too... now it may not look as good in your engine bay to stay stock, but there are other things you can do to class it up. you can make it pretty darn fancy with all the money you would spend on a trd intake at least! i know i will be. :P

Removing the bumper is cake, just have some patience and you can take it off in 15 min. Becomes a hassle though when you need to clean the filter, which is why I also didnt get a CAI.

Like @phanguy said, you can get similar results with a drop-in filter, minus the annoying suction sound of a ricey intake. I can tolerate the noise if our cars had more balls, but all the sound and no go is embarrassing.

I threw in the K&N drop-in, and will get a Mishimoto Induction Hose to clean up the engine bay, no need really to have the intake noise generator.

I have the Zeta drop in already. Im gonna go with the Vishnu OpenTablet so I may just talk to Shiv about what he thinks. I know he has tuned cars with the TRD before. Selling the Perrin and sticking to a drop in would get me half way to the opentab too...

i just ordered a unichip the other day. hoping to get it up and running before the meet. also ordered a blitz drop in since, at least according to one thread, it had the best gains of all the drop ins they tested. hoping it's as great as what everyone has been saying.
