    Been tons of fun here, I'll miss you guys, but the new buyer just towed away my car today. Rodknock was just too pricey for a rebuild, so I sold it as is for $2700. Pretty good price for me. But, when I end up getting the money for a second car I'd like to buy another one. Anyway, here's my...

    Anyone know of any coming out soon? I fell in love w/ the Samsung i730 when it came out, I am finally selling my Dell Axim and LG Chocolate and getting one, but they are being discontinued soon (I may still go for it), so I thought I'd see what else was coming up soon. So, I know Samsung has...

    Rod Knock - Go JDM 7M or Overhaul Current 7M?

    I had the head gasket replaced not long ago. Replaced with OEM HG & ARP bolts at 76 ftlbs. Only mod is a MBC from Dr. Jonez, which I'm guessing is hitting around 10 psi. Anyway, the headgasket was replaced at 120,929 miles, with OEM bolts at 60ftlb. At 121,865 the bolts were swapped out using...

    Help Me Choose...

    A new ringtone. Yes thats right. I'm bored of mine. Throw out some ideas, alternative or art rock, perhaps even some classic rock. I don't care. I just need something new. Something I can get w/ VZW tones. I like things that have good harmonies and plenty of interesting background stuff.

    1991: 5.25" Front Stock Speakers???

    I was going to replace my front speakers in my 91. I'd heard all MkIII's were 4" fronts, but then I saw the Year Changes thread which said they changed to 6.5's in 91. I'd only pulled the grill once before and didn't remember them seeming that big, so I just ran out and checked. Welllllll...
