  1. If you look you can find "racing halogens" that are like 85 or 100 watt vs. stock 55-watt. But you can get a pair of HIDs for 100-bones and they are far superior.

     

    Mr. P.

     

    Those 'racing halogens' have been proven to melt the connector to the bulb..

     

    But you are right, you can get an HID kit for something like $120 shipped... and those HIR bulbs are going to be around $60 shipped so why not just go for the HID. Those HIR bulbs sound like a gimmick though.. Halogen is Halogen... unless you change the housing they are sitting in, there is no way a standard halogen bulb is going to have a better beam pattern or prevent light 'scatter'.. you need a projector housing to do that.

  2. However, all this talk about getting out of tickets and pleading "NOT GUILTY" is what I am a little bit concerned about. I mean for example if someone was caught going 80MPH in a 55MPH zone, caught street racing, or speeding 30MPH through a 15MPG school zone.

     

    Damn 15MPG in a school zone? I need to drive in those more often, the gas prices are starting to rack up !

     

    :jester:

     

    Just plead not guilty.. insurance companies love it when they see a guilty plea for tickets/charges.. if you say not guilty and ask for a jury trial, you are more likely to get more favorable pleas to sign for. Hire and lawyer and fight it with medical reasons, and I can guarantee you that you get lesser convictions on your record that will save you time and money in the long run.

     

    You spent this much already on this, why not just get a lawyer at this point?

     

    At least you werent taking Anabolic Steroids.. then you would be fuct.

  3. I was driving over to my sister in laws house the other day with the wife, and I thought about this thread and took a pic... I guess this is a good reason as to why I would choose a Viper over a vette...

    Theres actually 4 of them in this pic, the one in the very front was a C6 Z06 with a plate saying '1 QWIK 06' or something like that

     

    And I had just saw a black Z06 about 3-4 miles back pulling out of a shopping center before that

     

    A little too common compared to the Vipe's

  4. if you do decide later down the road to sell the box only, let me know. otherwise, free bump for you.

     

     

    I would probably sell the box only, but packing and shipping would be a major PITA... not to mention the subs are the perfect match for the airspace that this box has... they sound awesome in there.. I dont know of too many subs that can sound as good as these for the price and size of them.

  5. Seriously man, I would just try to come up with the cash or you might have more costly problems down the road. Toy shop has proven themselves to be the best in the business in the Socal area.. and take advantage of living down here and being local because they dont do mail orders like those other guys transmissions you see mentioned on here. These guys are the real deal.. you should have them do a full overhaul to get their warranty and the satisfaction of them fixing the transmissions the right way.

     

    Mike and Kendall over there have even supposedly worked with GM on helping their engineers design better trannies .. they would get a busted tranny, and make recommendations on what to change to make it better.. I think either Mike or Kendall did that at one time if I recall. Those guys are the shit, trust me.

  6. Looks badass man.... it feels nice after putting in so many hours waxing the truck ...

     

    I have always liked the black on black look for the SS's.. your tail lights came out nicely too... I

     

    I have always wanted to try out Zaino compared to the DER stuff I use... maybe I will try it soon.

     

    Good job :thumbs::thumbs:

  7. just a question how much did toy shop charge u for ur tanny? im goin there this weekend to see how much they can do to my stock tranny ive blown also 2 times,

     

    Well Kendal over there hooked it up.. they charged me something like $1500 to completely overhaul it with all new parts except the cases. I think its usually a couple bucks more, but they did an awesome job. The truck shifts just like when it came out of thier shop, and it handled the Radix without breaking a sweat. I am sure it would have handled even more if it wanted to.. they were pretty confident it would handle more than what I was giving it w/ the supercharger. Now that it doesnt have the Radix, the tranny has its work cut out now!

  8. Here is a custom sub enclosure that was in my 04 Silverado SS... looks great in a Victory Red truck. Is loaded with 2-10" Kicker CompVX subs that are 1200max/600w RMS subs each.. they are the round versions of the L7 square subs, so they hit HARD. With my amp on the low-med. setting, they would hit so hard the roof would sound like it was caving in... so I had to run them very low.

     

    I am also selling a JBL 1200.1 amp, that puts out 1200w RMS so it was a perfect match for both of these subs, since they can take a 1200w RMS load @ 1ohm.. which was how I was running the JBL amp.

     

    Asking $300 for the sub enclosure and subs... which is a deal because these subs go for about $150 each.... so your pretty much getting the box for free!

     

    Only looking for local buyers in the Orange County, CA area or whoever is willing to drive to pick it up.

     

    Also, the JBL 1200.1 amp I am looking for $140 for it.

     

    $400 for the whole package if you buy them together... and NO I will not sell the subs separetely...

     

    thanks!

  9. Toyota has there marketing scheme every toyota comercial I see is about iForce 5.7L v8 tundra not to mention the giant badge on the fender.

     

     

    I guess what I was trying to say is that they dont need a 'performance edition' to get good numbers and performance, thats their base trucks pretty much.. the SS is suppost to be the fast, sportier version and its not even faster than Toyotas pretty much standard motor.

  10. What pisses me off the most about this is that a TOYOTA truck is that fast... those trucks are usually only driven by gardners. In fact, MY gardner has a black one (not a new one, maybe an 04-05)

     

    Then again, its trucks like this that make Chevy work that much harder to make a better performing truck... but it shows that Toyota doesnt need an 'SS' appearance package and marketing scheme to put out some power... almost makes me think if Toyota wanted to come out with an SS and SRT competitor it would take the trophy...

  11. You're right about the crane and the rope, but it might just be there as a safety precaution. As it's landing, you can see slack in the rope while it is still in the air. If they wanted to fake it, they could have done a better job than that!

     

     

    haha yeah i saw that.. i made the post before i saw the last part. I still dont see how it can move at 50mph based off that 'test flight' ... it just pretty much hovered, didnt do anything that could make it useful for traveling anywhere... and if it IS going 50mph.. How would it stop in an emergency situation to prevent a collision??? hahahah ...

  12. I think that thing is a bunch of BS... look at the 'test ride' video to the right of that page... and watch it 'flying'.

     

    Notice the several CRANES above it coincidentally... hahaha..... I bet its hooked up to one of them... how lame

     

     

    EDIT- Just watched the rest of the video and you can even see the rope holding it.. haahha

  13. DAMN that car is SICK. Its just too bad I need more than 2 seats or else I would have bought one... oh well. I cannot believe it can do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds! It must hit 60 in 1st gear like the Z06! That is only 2/10's of a second slower than the Z06 (3.9sec) !! The Corvette will always be the best bang for the buck, and is dollar for dollar the best sports car ever made....
