Haha, thanks Steve. It's the Ferrari of Japanese cars (wait, that would probably be the NSX). It's a bit heavier than the standard issue Ferrari V8 vehicle, but it pulls just fine.

How was your holiday, btw?

i think he ment to say lambo cuz of the exhuast haha

>>>>Is there anyone who knows how to rewire my audio system( I just got a panasonic aftermarket HU that im trying to make work with my Bose Concert System). The HU is already hooked up, bought the adaptor and did it myself, but the problem is only my subs work since they are hooked up to the HU, and i have no clue how to rewire bose to work with the AHU...anyone has time to help out???

[RAVI]

i dont think your bose system will work properly with an aftermarket deck

[NorCal1.8T]

it should cuz one of my friends had his bose system hooked up to his AHU and it works fine now......the only problem is the person who hooked it up for him doesent live here anymore, so I need help...

[RAVI]

oh okay.. i wouldnt know then because in my old car it had a bose system and if u change the headunit the speakers sounded like crap!

[shehatezme]

Press the brake pedal, then the top button, and it's done in about 20 seconds with a secured latch. Power top...

Mike, you still got the A4???? The Z is all you need! By the way, were you rolling with a bunch of 350z one night on 101S a couple months+ back. I remember seeing a modded convertible in there.

[Mike M.]

Yo Ben.

Yeah, I still have the A4. It's well over 7.5 years old and still gets about 360 miles on a full tank, even with the Stage 3. It's a great commuter car.

As for the Z sighting a couple months back.....was I travelling past 92 on 101S? If so, it probably was me heading back to the South Bay with a few of the Z crew.

[shehatezme]

It was definately by 92. It must have been you. The Z cars sound so damn good!

man, my younger brother was playing GT 4 today and came across a green 98 audi S4.....he bought every mod you could and its freakin sick! He got me hooked on it!!!! First time i see my B5 in a video game!!! I had to share it!!!

[MattboyR32]

I did the same thing for my R32. Was very cool to practice driving my car on Nurburgring before going up and doing it in reality!!! :)

[burner799]

this makes me want to whip out project gotham racing on my xbox....nurburgring is fun to drive especially in video games lol

[NorCal1.8T]

haha, now im hooked on to the ps2....i got a 98 s4, 01 rs4 avant, 03 s4 and 03 s6 Thats the whole garage....now is that love or what???

[Sydeshow MO]

I pulled GT4 out of my storage closet a few months back when I found out you can setup your suspension to drift. Running clean lines SYDEWAYZ and watching the replays are the $hit.

I setup an S4 Avant in Arcade mode at Metreon the other day and they had GT4 on the BIG screens. I just had to show off some drift skills.

[NapaCoach]

im looking foward to Forza 2 on the 360
got tired of waiting for it & bought the first one (for xbox) & sure as shit it works on the 360 & looks pretty damn good

a few of the guys working on the game own Audis so i bet they will be well represented

So I had to work out in Gualala today. Its a small town on the coast 1.5 hours north of Bodega Bay. Beautiful drive on the way up and a part of California I have never seen and wouldnt mind going back. Too bad I was doin the twisties in my truck (still haulin ass).

Anyway... alot of you have been ranting about tickets lately and I have been putting in my .02 cents and even helped bail out a fellow AZ'er. Now I have my own rant.

Comming home on highway 1 south im driving my truck really hard and pushing the limits because I was late to get to my kids daycare by 6:30. Being that I was 3 hours away from home I had no choice.

So yeah... im passing cars at every double yellow break. Some even pull to the turn outs to let me pass. I hit a straight section and I swear im doing about 90 and sure enough a CHP in an Expidition is comming head on with me in the other lane. Im checkin my rear view and he slowed and hit his lights. Im sure he made a U-turn so I get on it. I went at least 4-5 miles before he could catch me and that was only because slower traffic ahead.

So MO gets hit with a 72 in a 55. Says his radar is meant to read oncomming traffic. Hes not BS'ing because all the times I been in the back of a police car I always noticed the radar. But then again, this is the most inacurate form of radar. I mean, my speedo said 85-90 but he clocked me at 72. Anyway... I told him I would see him in court as long as it was not in Mendocino county. Sure enough its in Sonoma County in Santa Rosa.

Not guilty as always and oh... another tip, I signed the ticket all whacked compared to whats on my actual DL. This is another way I have gotten off on a ticket "but thats not my signature your honor"

[speedydragon]

any good filipino restaurants around sf/penisula areas? i wanna get me some good adobo :]

[Sydeshow MO]

Damnit... this is my second speeding ticket in two days!!! Got a ticket today on I-5. Same deal, cop was comming at me in the North bound lanes and flipped a quick bitch and came to get me. 92 in a 70 but sighted as 85 in a 70. This one will be handled w/ a not guilty pleed in the mail. Arrrghhh...

Once I got to Bakersfield, I went straight to the store and picked up a radar detector. Passport 8500. How reliable are these things nowadays and will it save me from oncomming radar?

[OutkastSL]

ouch, damn mo chill a bit! Lol. I got a 2 weeks ago, I'm going to contest it.

[Sydeshow MO]

Just got back from Bakersfield. Pretty fast too. This time I had the Passport X50 watchin my back and sure enough, it saved me twice.

First Ka signal went ballistic then a mile later a white CHP car gets on the fwy. Second alert was from the rear. Also Ka and sure enough another CHP pulls up from the rear.

Oh... one other was picked up about 1/2 ahead and was in the same fashion I got stopped the previous two times. Head on in the opposite lane.

I dont like the black door blades. It looks like you and Adam got bored and ran out of things to mod. Im not a fan.

My opinion though and the rest of the car is hot as always.

kinda raced a C230 sport sedan (supercharger, front cross drilled rotors) this morning at around 7:30am on 280N. The dood tried to cut me off cuz there was a slow truck coming up on his lane, so we both floored it to almost 100, then he braked or else he woulda hit the truck..I was pulling on him the whole time!

[norcatalyst126]

to change the subject.......I drove my car tonight for the first time since the drive on Sunday, and damn I love my car....I appreciate it ALOT more after driving around a '66 MBZ and a POS Dodge Durango.....

[NorCal1.8T]

wow, that was a great story guys. Me and my girlfriend ended up not going to the movies last night, so instead we stayed and watched the drama unfold on AZ..I gotta tell, she cried a couple times, thanked me for watching the story of two guys dealing with their problems on a internet forum with her, and so I ended up getting layed! Thanks guys, you made my day!
