Yeah, he said when I hear it, I will ebay my prodrive.

Is it loud? i couldn't stand anything louder than my current one. It sounds like a prop jet on the interstate at speed as it is.

You ever drive around with the muffler totally off? It really isn't that loud and it sounds awesome.

It's Surprisingly Quiet, Yet Loud.
It's a LOW Pitch. As such, it can rumble at idle, yet disappear into the distance as he drives away, even on the throttle.
Riding down the road, there is volume, but nothing that I'd consider obtrusive. It's a Soothing tone instead of an obnoxious one.

As far as Wednesday goes, I'll have to clear it w/ the wife.
Yeah, I get home around 8;30PM.
If she "Wants to spend time", it's off, but if she feels like going to her Mom's or such, then we'll do it.
Next availability will probably be this coming Sunday...

post as soon as you know, so that i can bring all necessary stuff.

Do you have the link cable? and an extra TV?

Do you have something you can round up that i can secure my wheel with?

If Sunday, I can try to grab the Stand, which I left at Lyonel's. I made this with some 1"x4", 2"x4", some L brackets, self-tapping wood screws, and a jigsaw. It holds the wheel at a proper level, and the pedels at a proper distance, while giving plenty of room for leg maneuvering. I think it was < $25 at home depot; much less if you already have the lumber. The one I have is in need of replacement.

A quick sketch from memory <--- there's a good laugh for everyone

I'm there, unless the weather cooperates and I can go skiing, but its calling for rain.

...as for exhausts, you will all ebay all your exhausts when you hear the celica with the rear two exhaust manifold studs sheared off. It scares small children and old people. Note to self, quit off-roading over 7" tall stumps with only 6" of ground clearance.

Tomorrow, Sunday, around 2:00 will be great. Give me a call. My # is earlier in the thread.

Chris, We'll do an evening soon. Tomorrow evening won't do, as I'm DJ'ing tomorrow night at Blue Cat's.
You're all welcome to come out for that by the way...

i should have known you were a spinner michael...... lol whats the cover and what time you start? this could be interesting......

MichaelXi · Post by **MichaelXi** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:53 am

I believe the cover is 5 bucks (Max), and there are 2 or 3 other DJ's w/ me. The night runs from 10-3, and I won't know 'til I get there when I play, but I most likely won't be up first this month.
