Well, now I'm $50 lighter. No response to emails/PMs, he said his wife was gonna part the stuff and send it to me, and that hasn't happened. I feel like a chump. Anyone ever actually receive something from this guy? |

7A, stick. I get around 550 miles to the tank (36mpg highway at 65-70 mph, 38mpg country at 45-50 mph). It's not so hard once you get used to driving that way. I tend to shift around 2.5k or so and am in 5th by about 35 mph. I actually wish I had a 6 speed so I could upshift again on the highway. I get tired of buzzing along. I don't spend much time stuck in traffic and do make sure that I tailor my speed to the traffic that's there. I don't like pissing people off just so I can save a few cents. You'd be surprised how little time you lose choosing to drive more relaxed. I took an hour mixed city/freeway trip in which I drove 50 on the freeway and it cost me about 5 minutes extra. Conservation can add up money-wise over the long haul. Of course I view my Celica as a sexy economy car that's dead practical, not a sports car. |

Sounds fun. Dang you, finals! I don't think I can justify the 3h drive each way because of studying. |

Don't forget to roll down the window. It's just over 4" (or was in my '95 vert, see no reason for it to be different). |

Bass waves tend not to be very directional below a certain point (might be as high as 500hz? can't remember). Anyways, it's just like a sub in the hatch; it has to go through a couple seats to get to you, but the waves are so big (and actually vibrate the car) that it doesn't matter. |

Could be motherboard then. The power switch sends a signal to the motherboard to turn on, it's not a physical switch. If mobo is borked, then it could get part of the way there but not all. Though it could be PS too. |

Well, the rear hatch defroster has never worked on my 1997 ST, so I decided to try and fix it. The light turns on and the relay clicks, but there's no power at the window. Here's what I've done: 1. Check all fuses related to the defroster, as described in the owner's manual. all fine 2. Checked resistance across the window, hot to ground: good. 3. Checked resistance ground terminal to ground: good 4. Located relay, tested by hooking up to a power supply and testing to see if it opens and closes the switch as it should. It's fine. So, I guess I have two questions: How do you remove the wire "clip" from the window? It didn't seem to come off easily, but I know they can be tight. I just didn't want to crack it off and have to solder to my window (no fun, I've had to do it before.). Could anyone with a service manual tell me how the wire from the relay box in the driver's side dash/footwell runs to the window? In particular, whether there are any other junctions in the path, and also which wire-loom it runs through to the window (left, right, or middle, from the back of the car). I guess I could also use a description in how to remove the headliner/body panels around the driver's side rear window. Any other ideas besides tracing the dang thing every inch of the way would really be appreciated. |

8" sub = 7" opening. It's all how you look at it. |

No. Front is 7"-- you'll either need to make adapter plates, fab up something ghetto with cardboard, or buy them from somplace like: http://www.mjmautoinnovations.com/sak825t65.htm |

It's really unfortunate that Toyota chose to go with the 7" size. If you're looking for a more permanent solution, mjmautoinnovations has some really sturdy brackets for only $7: http://www.mjmautoinnovations.com/sak825t65.htm |

CD changers are usually proprietary by brand if you want to control them with the head unit. Universal CD-changers use an FM-modulator. |

Part of the reason for that is airbags (especially in newer cars) are designed to work with the seatbelt system, so a seatbelt may not adequately restrain you without an airbag. |

Guys, remember that processor speed is relative to the chip you are using. See, Core Duos are faster per clock cycle than the old P4's. While direct comparisons are hard, a dual-core 2ghz core duo most likely will be faster than a 3ghz P4. Also, since they have two cores on one chip, they excel at multitasking. I bought a Dell E1705 with a 1.83 ghz core duo and the go7800 graphics. Gig of RAM. It set me back about 1300. I am quite satisfied with the performance; I'm playing two-year-old games at 1600x1200 (Deus Ex, ROTK, Lego Star Wars) with no framerate issues. I'm not a huge gamer, but I wanted to be able to play some. I imagine that newer games would be playable by losing some eye candy and lowering the resolution. |

You're screwed, as usual. It's a dark dark night; it's up to you to find something to do in it. Yes I owned a vert; no I didn't like having no interior light either . |

I fit JL 8w0's in the front of a '95 convertible. Required a bit of modification for the brackets, but definitely fit depth-wise. Great bump; would have helped if it was dynamatted. |

The reason you probably can't hear bass is because your speakers cannot play bass that low . |

If you turned it all the way down and heard the staticy noise, and if all speakers are equally affected, my guess is definitely the amp. |

Poly fil is the most common brand name: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Ig1TOlQDh5Y/c...41&I=027808 I used some in my .35 cu ft. sealed box, and I really like the tight bass. Personal preference, really. |
