What are you looking for. We have a Roku and an XBox 360. They both have there pros and cons. The newest Roku 2 is hard to beat IMO. Apps like netflix and such,but would also like to stream live cable programs as well..local news,History channel,Discovery channel..ect Aside from streaming HBO, and some apps that allow you to stream from your cable co (you must pay for service) you won't get live TV. I have Roku stick, Roku 3, and Chromecast. I like the Roku 3 best of the group. The stick offers many of the same functions as the 3, but the stick is rather large and a PITA to plug in with that retarded power adapter. I like the fact that my digital copies feed to my boxes as well. Catastrophe Girl has a web page with every channel available for Roku as well. It is open source, which rocks. I don't know your linked gear at all.

Had a family party for the 4th of july I have only called in 3 times in the 2+ years Ive been working there If you called in to go to a party you deserve to lose your job. No offense, but that displays a horrific work ethic.

Cool, but I'm not into HK. I am snagging a Jolida 502 or 202 502 202 Those are nice! and they can be had, modded with extra tubes on Audiogon for under a grand all day long in like new condition. Even new the 502 can be had for 1400 and the 202 for a G.

Oh yeah, remove the rear seat deadener. It is ridiculously effective. The negative side effect is exhaust noise introduction. You will spend time deadening, I assure you. I laid 3 layers of Bquiet Extreme and a layer of peel n seal. In this install I ran the power wire under the vehicle in the frame and up through the trunk floorpan.

I drilled the firewall, or used the grommet for the speedo. I did remote batteries as well.

I've worked on, driven, and beaten several of them. They are actually really fun cars to drive. I used a TTA intercooler in my Grand National for a while, with a Duttwieler inlet mod on it. They had 30% more cooling capacity than the Grand National intercooler did. I bet the motors are hard to come by...What numbers or letters should I look for in the vin? 8th vin digit for the 231 sfi turbo buick motor is always a 7. I don't care if it is an 86 grand national, 87 GNX or a TTA, the 8th digit will be a 7. This one here says vin 9 What is this? or is it just a misprint in the listing? http://www.ebay.com/itm/84-85-BUICK-REGAL-ENGINE-6-231-3-8L-W-TURBO-VIN-9-/400922223777?hash=item5d58d3a4a1&vxp=mtr This one has a 9 as well.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grand-National-Engine-Turbo-Buick-Long-Block-GNX-3-8L-V6-NOS-GM-Reman-No-Reserve-/291501352680?hash=item43ded5a6e8&vxp=mtr Are they not true turbo motors? Should have clarified intercooled 3.8 turbo sfi Buick motor. Pre 86 motors were not intercooled. Was the 86 and up with the vin 7 built to withstand more being intercooled or is it the same block as the vin 9? Vin 7 has a bit more beef in it. We did a non-intercooled (84) to intercooled conversion, but we kept it close to stock. If you're gonna build it, I suggest a Vin 7 block.

I suggest scrapping the 5.25 pods. They are really not worth the effort. I bought some stock grille covers and built my own pods into them on my last install. I think I actually have a stock set of grilles from a T-Type (they will be grey, not black) if you want some to hack up. I did some Anarchys in the car, and because the basket was so big I had to modify the door a little. I like single pointsources, so I did directional tweet pods on the front of the grilles. Sorry, I was out of the CA online scene when I did this, so I didn't host any images up. My computer took a shit and I no longer own a Grand National (believe it or not). One of my other Buicks has similarly modified grilles if you want to see them. They house a set of 6.5" Hertz Miles...

Are you using the RWD Buick heads? Not sure if you know this, but the turbo TransAm (89 model Indianapolis 500 SE) used the FWD heads to clear the strut towers. IIRC better flow was also realized with the FWD heads. If you can find an '89 TTA engine you would have better bottom end components as well.

Ted 2 was funny as fuck.

So glad I got to see these guys live... on acid no less. Granted it was not with Roger Waters, but the power and grace of Floyd is still stunning to me. FWIW, I have a tremendous renewed appreciation for them since finding headphones. Their music was truly intended for a set of cans.

Just snagged some high dollar NOS Telefunken ECC83 Preamp tubes and some Mullard Reissue 12AX7/ECC83s for the Preamp stage of my headphone amp. The Telefunkens are 50s era RCA built tubes that have a stellar reputation. Unlike the 6v6 Mullards that I was unhappy with that have a reputation of being laid back, the 12AX7s have a great reputation as being almost exact copies of the 50s-70s era Mullards that developed the Mullard reputation for exquisite sound. Break in starts next week. 2 day shipping on these puppies... I found some 60s Tung Sol 6V6 STs, which are the old coke bottle versions of my current output stage tubes that I like so much. I really want some classic Coke Bottles for that retro look on my amp... similar to this:

In another few years it will be turbo'd. I won't out the turbo on until the warranty is almost up, as it cuts it short. There is no sway bar up front or in the rear stock, so anyhing would help. While lowering will help, I like the ride hight it has at the moment. J Have you thought about a stiffer progressive rate spring? We used to use TRW in street drag GNs

He doesn't. but you don't want a Toyota one anyways. Aftermarket.Should that affect my warranty? This may be a moot point anyways. J Not at all. Good to know guys. What about straight pipes and headers? I know a lift can as it changes the angle of the drivetrain. J Headers can be iffy. Anything CAT back should not affect warranty.

Nope. Dealerships don't pay well enough. 250 for a factory sway is pretty reasonable.
