All done.... all tidied up, and speakers installed into the kick panels.. looks sweet, i'll be leaving a couple things off the car in order to wait for the USB panel.. but here we go

I had issues with the falkens when i had my focus. great tires, amazing amount of grip and all, but they just wear down way to quick.... I still stand that the Pirelli's are my favorite brand of tires... when its raining those things make it seem as if it was dry... to bad they are so damn expensive and noisy as hell.

I mentioned that some older audis makes the same burbling engine sound as subarus. Whys that? Sorry for dumb thread format, but... its very interesting question for me

Use the Misc. Questions thread in the General section. Thanks dude.

lol. yeah, alright then Driftster

I apologize for the massively long first post, but in there I also mentioned reliability. One of the points I brought up was the fact that these custom cars are in fact almost as reliable as a factory built supercar. Like I said, if it makes 1300hp then they build it with parts rated to take that force. I've seen a 1500hp Ford Gt that's driven daily and fast as hell. I don't think having to use race fuel is much of an...

Yeah. That's the place I was talking about. My friend who had an e30 had fuel pressure / oil pressure / voltmeter gauges there. I liked it but it's too out of the way for easy viewing.
