And just so peeps who are a bit 80s-music-challenged but 80s-movies-capable like FLI Ryan don't feel too left out, I'll offer the best example of this learning & being the bigger person that I can think of...
"During this e-fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys bashing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"
Now, that's how any & all finger-pointing should end around this joint, eh?

ON that note i-club thank you for wasting the day with me. Tomorrow, let's not make it so hard to say goodbye to yesterday and above all else keep the faith.
Yowza!!!

might not be an engine shop, but I still have yet to find a stereo shop that stands behind their product, all I have gotten from 3 different shops over the years is CRAP. They cant build boxes, they cant wire speakers, and these were the "best" shops in town. You should see the pile of crap in my car right now.
In case you want custom stereo stuff, do not go to MARINA AUTO STEREO. Been in business for 15 years and everything they make is like the first time they ever touched a subwoofer.

Pardon the question, I know, I am just another brick in the wall...

As to the tune shops. I as someone starting to get ready to build his car bigger, do feel it would benifit others to know the BAD places.
It would knock under moderate load, especially part to full throttle uphill. Talked with Shiv about it and he took it out on the road, changed some stuff, gave it back and on the way to work up the Sunol grade was getting det again. Brought it back for a dyno tune (which he charged me for) and he kept talking about numbers when all I wanted was a car that wasn't knocking. Off the dyno it was again knocking on the way to work.
Eventually I got a UTEC and fixed the problems myself.
To round out the nightmare, I sold my Vishnu uppipe later on i-club with a low price with the intention of giving a good deal to a young guy just getting into the game who didn't have a lot of cash but wanted a nice upgrade for his car. 3 days after I sold it, the guy who bought it from me put it back up on the classifieds at a higher price.
I still have the Unichip. Anyone want to buy it?!?

FWIW, some chick told me about this place. Her number just might be on the wall you're a part of... 867-5309. Ask for Jenny.

We need more input. We gotta fill this thing up with data. We gotta make her as real as possible, Wyatt. I want her to live. I want her to breathe. I want her to aerobicize.

The only thing I'm good at is riding this bike. Now I have the chance to be the best, maybe the best in the world. I can take those S.A.T.'s anytime, maybe in six months. But this is the only chance I'll ever have at this. I started out as one in a thousand. Now I'm one in twenty. Now to give that up, I think that would be very self-destructive.
