  1. Well, If you look at pictures of my car sitting still versus the rolling shots, it's actually lower, but not by much (my springs aren't real stiff). The Spoon spoiler won't make near the difference the J's lip does but still looks good. The DX spoiler definitely won't make any aerodynamic difference but looks much better than the CX one.
  2. Man I am so glad I have that J's Racing lip on my car. Believe it or not, it actually creates some pretty good downforce. The roads were wet yesterday and a girl at work hydroplaned off the road and wrecked her Saturn Ion (still driveable I believe) on the same highway I take to work everyday. I was on it the same day going to work going faster than she was (she wrecked doing 45, I was driving the speed limit, 65). Never had a hydroplaning problem with this car. My old car however did have a problem with that. It didn't even have the factory lip it was supposed to have. I had issues in the rai

    Gotta love podunk counties in Tennessee. No emissions testing. You can run straight header and it still be registered. You just might get a sound violation but even, I don't think the cops give a crap. They only care if your radio is too loud (I should know, I drive a loud Honda and got "pulled over" for my radio being too loud , no ticket at least). Amazingly enough, my car has been really reliable recently with no major screw ups or anything. The front tires even have more tread than I thought. Only prob I'm having is my driver side fog light is starting to well, ummmm, fog up. The must hav
  4. it sucks that I won't be there in time probably. Work closes at 3 (Central) and no tellin when I'll actually get to leave and when I get home.
  5. ahhh, man it starts at 3 Central? Crap, I probably won't even get home until 4ish.
  6. Got a new one for after Christmas on the laptop. Got a new wallpaper picked out for the main rig I just don't have time to turn it on right now.
  7. Got a CD with my The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Volume 2 Limited Edition. It's Hirano Aya's (They wrote Aya Hirano on the US release CD cause of our naming pattern) Bokuen Desho Desho. I haven't actually listened to it yet cause I downloaded it about 9 months ago before it was available in the US. I had ordered the Limited Edition Volume 1 but it isn't here yet. It should Hirano Aya's Hare Hare Yukai in it. I also downloaded it way back before it was available in the US. Also both of these are just singles. Bokuen Desho Desho has 2 songs plus Karaoke versions of both those songs.
  8. I miss Tech TV. I hate G4 with a burning passion. I only watch Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network (Adult Swim), Nickelodeon (Nick at Nite), Comedy Central, and The Military Channel......when I watch TV (otherwise I'm watching anime DVD's or fansubs). I use to always have it on Tech TV watching good tech shows all the time LEARNING new tech stuff. Way to go G4. Now I still learn with Discovery and the Military Channel but no tech. I think G4 is one of the main reasons I fell out of the loop of the latest computer tech.
  9. Hey this is nice idea man. Though I could live without it, it'd be nice to get a free copy of Vista Ultimate to go on my new rig that's coming together. I tell ya, I've been a member for 2 years and no telling how much help I have received on this board. The PC Support boards helped me getting my PC running the way I want and getting it to look how I want. The Linux board helped me figure a few things out in Linux (still don't use it much though ), and once or twice the Mac board helped me out with a question or 2 about my brother's Mac. Great site, great members, great info PS you may not
  10. turns out the back up lights in the 96-00 is totally different than the 92-95 ones so I'm just gonna have to buy new ones. I'll a pick of the new boot soon, I already have a before pic.
  11. Finally got around to fixin my power outlet in my car. The wiring was for some reason split with them reattached poorly with poor taping that was coming off. There was also a blown fuse so I'm assuming the wiring touched each other and blew the fuse. I added a length of wire in between the separated pieces to make it easier to wire and taped them up better then I replaced the fuse and all is good. Now why you might ask am I just now fixing this? Cause I got a frickin TomTom for Christmas!!!!! Ha, I love it. I'm navigationally challenged. My dad is a good navigator and my brother got that from
  12. I forgot to mention the PC before the Gateway. It was made by a local builder (Columbia Data Systems) and it had a 200Mhz Cyrix Processor (worst ever) with 32MB of RAM, some Diamond video card and Windows 95. Of course, I've had a bunch of others but these were all my main computers.
  13. from this (Gateway): my mom still uses it to play Mega Solitaire on. to the Sidewinder (First self built computer): then to my Xplorer: and then my newest rig will reside in this case: HUGE 200mm fan on top and 2 120mm fans on front and 1 120mm in the rear new rig planned to be: Athlon X2 5600+, 2GB DD2 800 RAM, GeForce 8800GT or 8800GTS (G92) so my newest rig will be an ever bigger step up than the last I think. It's gonna be great.
  14. In 2000, my family got a Gateway with an 800MHz PIII with 64MB of RAM (later upgraded to 128, then 512), an nVidia Vanta Riva TNT2 (later upgraded to a GeForce2 MX200 then a GeForce2 MX400). I built a new rig in 2005 with an Athlon XP 3000+, 512MB of RAM (later upgraded to 1GB), and a GeForce FX5700 Ultra (later upgraded to a GeForce 6600GT). Man that was an insane difference. After that I went to an Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB of RAM, and a GeForce 7600GT (later added a second 7600GT for SLI). And it was a pretty god difference from the previous system.
  15. So I my brother gave me a $40 Best Buy gift card. If I was at home I would have already ordered something by now. Right now though, I'm at my brother's house jackin one of his neighbor's wireless. And dern it, my Antec Nine Hundred case was delivered right after my parents and I left. I checked my tracking and it said it was delivered at 10:43 and we left at like 10:35.
  16. I'll be running a GeForce 8800GT or 8800GTS (G92) so I'll be fine. Even my twin 7600GT's from my current rig will be fine (which I may have to run for a while until can afford the new one).
  17. I hate Microsoft. Vista it is then. I already have Basic on my laptop and I do not like it so I was looking to see if there was a decent reason to put any incarnation of Vista on my new rig, and you gave me the biggest one. Thanks!

  19. I'm building a new rig soon. I'm debating which OS I wanna go with for it. I'm trying to decide between Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm mostly going to be gaming and watching videos on it. One reason why I'm debating is customization. I love using 3rd party themes and switching them up every so often which I do all the time on my XP Home systems. I tried to look up Vista themes for my lappy (Vista Home Basic) on my favorite site for them and there were very few. And the few that were there weren't very different than the standard theme. Other things I'm considering a
  20. Cause all I have is a Debit card and PayPal, I can't charge any more than I can pay I only buy stuff from reputable sites like Best Buy, Newegg, ADV Films, Rightstuf, Amazon, Password JDM, Weaksauce Parts, etc.
  21. I try to shop more with PayPal cause my Credit Card is my Debit Card but of course, some places don't take it. For example: ADV Films and Best Buy don't use PayPal.
  22. Well folks, I now shop online. Used to, if I ever wanted anything, I had to ask my parents to order and pay them back. Now I'm shopping online for myself. My first experience was through Best Buy a few months ago. I ordered the Onegai Teacher Box set cause I had a gift card, and I used my credit card to make up for the rest (like $5). A few months later, I order me a LaCie 500GB external Hard drive from Newegg.com using PayPal. Not but a few weeks ago I ordered Puni Puni Poemy and the box sets of Noir and Azumanga Daioh from ADV Films during one of their huge sales ($180 worth of DVD's for $98
