Tandem ideas??
There are a couple of tandems that come with independant pedaling systems, but they all suck. A lot. They typically aren't built to handle the power that two riders push out, and they make handling the bike in corners much more difficult, especially for a new team. If this is going to be...- prophet6

Why do road bikes cost more than mountain bikes?
It's like this: I buy a mountain bike, I drop loot and expect it to be clapped out and played in four years, maybe five. Beat, done, ready for all new parts. I buy a road bike, drop double the dime, and I can ride it for 10 years with no more than tires and chainlube. Maybe some rings and a...- prophet6

Home audio advice
As far as turntables go, I'd suggest looking into some vintage units... Dual made some great sounding turntables, and they are pretty popular on eBay... I've got one that I use when I'm listening to a whole side of a record. Most of the time I'm on a set of Technics, but they're pretty noicy-...- prophet6

Audi S4 Should i Buy
S4's are reasonably bommer.... run Mobil 1, change it ever 3k, and be nice. Don't dump the clutch in AWD cars- it just cooks them. I drive a modded A4 1.8t, and it's putting out about 220hp with a stock turbo, and I've had essentially no problems. There's a 350 hp/400lbft B5 (2.7t) S4...- prophet6

Toshi's thread
Man, I gotta get me a job. Money would get my mods done much faster. I'm going to probably end up doing brakes on my car first- I think I'll have to replace the rotors anyway, so might as well go bigger... and if I've got the loot, I'll run goodridge lines while I'm in there. Besides that... -
Toshi's thread
Huh. My car weighs about 3100, and has (apparently) somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 whp. I'd recently done a head job on the thing, and had it portmatched while they were in there... but between that and the new exhaust, I guess there's been some improvement. Now I'm starting to... -
Toshi's thread
on a slightly different note: My car managed to keep up with a WRX at full throttle yesterday. I've forgotten how much then weigh and how many whp they have, but I'd have guessed I was outgunned. A nice suprise. p6 -
Toshi's thread
your ride is looking good, man. I wish I had the time/funds to get some more work done... I'm looking at a new bypass valve, but we'll see when that happens. p6 -
Toshi's thread
after watching that clip, I'm realizing two things: 1) I'll never get used to the sound that Subi's make. 2) I need to take my car someplace like that. p6 -
Toshi's thread
since tires are a HUGE step up in performance, consider making one set of wheels your "track" setup, and the other streets. If you go that route, don't automaticly make the 17's your track wheels- you should use the lighter set. Calculate out the weight including the tires. That'll be the... -

So if you're selling the canfield, is that to fund goodies for autocrossing? details, please. p6 -
Toshi's thread
yeah, I've heard similar things about autocrossing. If I wasn't so broke, I'd be all about it. p6 -
Toshi's thread
If I wasn't worried about reselling my car at some point, there's some other stuff l'd like to do to my ride. First off, rip out all the sound insulation. Don't need that. Then the back seat would come out. I'd strip the rear doors, weld on the skins, and use some pig 'ol pipe to replace... -

Toshi's thread
I'll say that there are few better sounds than a screaming turbo, and a nice, fat "whoooosh" every time you clutch under boost. ah, forced induction, how I love thee.... p6 -
Toshi's thread
Hey man, glad to hear you got the car ok. I just dropped a Borla stainless exhaust onto my car, and it's a really nice sound... after having it for two weeks now, I'm still happy. It's very quiet at idle, unnoticable on the highway, and only really makes itself known at full throttle... -
