    Weekly Meets Facelift?

    Being a newb here I can't offer anything but my $.02. There's obviously some history with these meets I have no clue about - good, bad or indifferent. My situation is an extremely busy schedule with my kids (full time single dad) and am lucky to have one, maybe two days "free" a month. BUT...

    Another Computer Thread

    Although I don't have much experience with AMD processors, that should be a zippy home system. FWIW, the Phenom II X6 ranks up there (price/perf) http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html As far as four monitors support, how is that supported with onboard graphics (non dedicated card)...

    MNMazda Music Lovers' Thread

    Cool, I'm digging it. Thanks. It has an Incubus vibe going on. I love new stuff, doesn't matter the genre. I'm always looking for something that has quality - has substance. Too much cookie cutter, studio magic, pro tooled BS nowadays.

    the big ? around suspension

    If you do decide to do this via BAG method, I'd be interested in watching, learning, helping whatever etc.. It looks as though the item I'm leaning towards purchasing for my "spring" lower (get it, spring...ahem Ok) are hard to come by / on back-order :( for '10 models (FSD/spring/shock...

    MNMazda Music Lovers' Thread

    Hmm, interesting thanks. Musically sounds pretty good. I'll have to investigate further. Initially it this reminds me kinda Iron Maiden'ish but he hits some notes that sound like Maynard from Tool. Just to add to Katatonia stuff, there is some great sounds coming from that part of the...

    Newb - questions on a drop/wheels

    Cool thanks. I have read the same thing about the yellows and though it has adjustment its a pain, worth it though. That's why I was considering the FSD's/prokit as I don't know if I would be ever really adjusting the yellow's and from what I can tell, the yellows "soft" setting is actually...

    Newb - MZ3

    I saw the Intros after I posted in the performance area, so I thought I would make a quick blurb here. Purchased a new '10 hatch a few months ago after being a die hard Honda driver (3 or 4), mainly for reliability and they were always in the family. I traded my '98 civic EX with 200k for...

    Newb - questions on a drop/wheels

    Would anyone like to comment on a shock/spring setup? I saw AJ's thread, and share a few of the same goals = ride quality, gap, cost, set it forget it... And although CO's (basic) don't appear to be a ton more $$ than a good shock/spring, Isn't it way overkill for a non-racing...

    Newb - questions on a drop/wheels

    Case 'O beer and pizza NOT a problem....EVER! :) I'm looking at the Prokit w/ shocks so that should be 1.5" or less. With that in mind am I correct that that these are the two sizes that will work best w/o messing with the speedo, enough clearance etc..>225/40/18 or 225/45/17?
