Spotted you in Yucaipa today, getting onto the 10. Clean car!

Awesome... too bad I didn't see you I'd have pulled over and said hello! Yeah I stopped into grab a burger. I only made it to La Quinta today. I took some pictures of a very nice VW Bug Cabrio in Indio and then rebuilt my window winding mechanisms. They work much better now and the incessant rattling has gone away. I'm heading to see Jim tomorrow morning. It should be a great drive... oops sorry guys. I'll try to break down or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

damn it! I think I just jinxed myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I was in the acura/honda with a police officer behind me; you wouldn't have noticed me lol. What's funny is I was about to take my 914 but decided not to at the last minute. I was pretty excited to see another teener on the road, especially in yucaipa.

The drive to Phoenix was awesome, the cars I saw were totally awesome. Jim is a really cool guy! That's the good news. The bad news is I think I sun-burnt my eyes driving directly west into a setting sun!... and then the rain hit. I hydroplaned all over the road for about and hour and a half which was not fun at all. Good thing I rebuilt the side window mechanisms because the targa seals finally worked and I didn't get wet in the torrent of water coming from the sky, which was like continuously driving under a waterfall. That wasn't fun. I was really thinking I was going to spin and hit someone. Luckily I didn't and the car ran like a top. Especially after Jim grabbed me a new air cleaner that wasn't tweaked and full of gunk. Still It was cold and I had no heat and my wipers blades are hard and like 25 years old. I know poor me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes, 914s don't like rain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Awesome build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I like how the flares have a defined line joining the body, it looks better than the smoother radius in most installs in my opinion.
Great blend of old an new. Now that you are hitting the track and AX the mods will just keep getting more expensive and the fun never stops. My 914 is evolving back into a better cruiser and I am doing the interior upgrades, stereo, etc.
We'll see if the little 14lb racin battery can keep up w the Alpine and 6.5s going in there. I hope to squeeze 6x9s in too so I can ALWAYs hear the music.

Thanks Chris. It was my first time putting flares on but I really studied up on it. I wanted them to be a little more round than stock but not much. I also really wanted to fill them with wheels and tires. The rear almost doesn't clear. I had to use a bat to roll it out a bit.

I could use a little more bass in the stereo. I am thinking of getting a sub but I want it to be kind of hidden. Let me know how the 6x9's work out.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The only point of interest out there was the long stretch of freeway with no cops!!

saw this and thought about your thread:
http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-KTP-445-Head-...6077&sr=8-1

seems like a good and inexpensive shot at getting more power to those JL's, which might give you a lil more thump from them. im guessing they're rated for 150 -200 watts? i bet they're starving for power dude ,just MHO

Thanks for thinking of me Dave. How's your stereo coming? I do need a little more power so this will help, thanks! I am loving the Bluetooth audio streaming. I just get into the car and my playlists start playing. I don't even need to take my phone out of my pocket! No wires, no cd's... love it!

I was all set to drive the Zombie at the California Festival of Speed until I received a final ruling that I do, in fact, have to install a roll bar or cage, 5 or 6 point harnesses, and a fire extinguisher before driving Zone 8 TTs. There's no time and so she'll be in the garage all next week instead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) not happy. I'm still going, but I'm just not going to have the maximum amount of fun possible.
