Welcome to the IHoP

How did they not smell him??

Not true, but I'm putting it on the desk of one of the guys down here who doesn't do shit...

You have to love when the junk yard wants more for a part than it costs new....from the DEALER

Happens all the time at the junkyard near my parents house.

new price = $50 for the pair,

junk yard = $50 each

[topgun 262]

Do the the junkyard ones come with a complementary blow job?

[topgun 262]

Time to lock up the shop, put the books back in the bag, head back to the house, crack open a beer and resume studying.

Probably going to have to the liquor store to find some decent beer first.

[topgun 262]

If I was motivated the amount of shit I could accomplish would be staggering...

[JimJ 11]

Did a couple practice tests, didn't do too badly, just a lot of acronyms to sort through.

Most of this shit is real common sense...the PMP exam is probably the same thing.

Just got back from Atlanta. Did I miss anything here?

That trip just furthered my thoughts of moving to the US.

[JimJ 11]

Atlanta would make me want to move away from the US

Athens, on the other hand...now that's a good time in Georgia

Atlanta made you want to move here? Where you live must really suck.

[MKader17 332]

Fast forward for me in the H0P anything I missed in the last 25 pages?

I got my box (the one Mrcabinitry built for sprinklerman) and it looks great. just waiting for the Icons to come in.

Also, got a semi final exhaust on the truck... more on that later

Hope all is well,

Kader

[topgun 262]

I've only been to Ft. Benning, GA, never Atlanta.

[topgun 262]

So you got exhaust done on the truck, got that fixed, now you've got a NEW exhaust setup on it?

[MKader17 332]

come back t0p!

[topgun 262]

I'd like to put a new set of mufflers on the Cadillac but I can't justify 300$ for that when I need to put new struts and shocks on it...

[///M5 2,833]

mufflers on the caddy, why?

[topgun 262]

I want something with a little bit of tone to it, but I do NOT want it to end up sounding like a damn truck so I'm torn on it. I've found a couple different setups I really like but they are expensive.

[topgun 262]

Once I get the interior sound done and every thing working the way I want it I'll look more into the exhaust side of it but that's a ways off still. I've still got another 60+ sq ft of deadening to put in it and then I'll see where its at on the interior noise level. Still have to make an amp rack for it, and mount a 12" mag in the rear deck whenever that gets here.

[topgun 262]

Somewhat worried about flexing on the rear deck if I cut a 12" hole in it so I'm thinking of a couple of different options.

A: Cut the hole, put it in the center, and weld up a structural support spanning the entire deck and bolt it to the existing deck to stiffen it up *Not sure about this idear either*

B: Put the sub in the corner where one of the rear speakers are and expand that hole *Don't want to do because then it would be off center and I don't want it off centered*

C: Put two subs in it where the back speakers are so its even *yes, its got to be symmetric, don't ask me why*

D: Mount them in the trunk and not on the deck which I don't want to do since the trunk is sealed off fairly well.

Went for a ride in the Firebird tonight.

No floor, no windows, no weatherstripping, no interior (other than seats and belts), ripped headliner, no hood.

It was a bit loud. Extremely well composed, but loud. Going to take some serious deadening efforts to make her quiet. Oh, and fast, real fast.

[///M5 2,833]

Shit, the fired Millen. Maybe Detroit can actually win a game now.

[///M5 2,833]

Wild are 1 and 0. Nice way to start out the season.

I vote asymmetric as its always stronger.

Damn it Sean...

Your ideas got me into trouble in the first place and ended up with me sticking 3" drivers in the damn dash.
