Hmmm, "War Driving"...."War Dialing"...."Malacious Culture" ...
This makes me think: When the hell was the last 2600 meeting I was at?
Pheeew '00... wow, Its been a while

This is new to me... I can find "Signal Tags" haha?
Thats pretty interesting. Got any examples? (Im gonna look out for these next time Im driving through Center City, Philly.
Kinda reminds me of the "Glyphs" in the Blade films w/ Wesley Snipes.


OH, BY THE WAY... WE ARE

There is a vast difference between spending 500$ and installing a loud exhaust system and the illegal use of a network.

Thanks man, but Im replacing the seats with racing seats.
I had these Ralli-Art (generic) seats I was goin' with (see other thread), but the company turned out to be really full o' ****, so I requested a refund.
Amby Im takin' your advice and goin' with something trialed and tested...
Im'a see if I can find a deal on some Sparcos.
I just hate payin' 500+ per seat. Eh, we'll see what happens...

Good, I'm glad to hear someone actually listened to the little voice called common sense. You can get some sparcos for like 300$ a pop, but they're non-reclineable. You might be able to get a set of used evo recaros for between 500$ and 800$ which is a damn good deal for recaros.

Nah, I definatly need some comfy reclinable ones!
Torinos or sumtin'. I really like the Siennas cus of their shape, which isnt so common; That "cobra-head" look.
The Evo Recaros wont look good in my car at all.

The evo recaros should look fine, there are plenty of lancers guys with them and they look decent, fit the back seats nicely since they have a similar pattern. Could always consider Corbeau, bride, and momo, corbeau and momo are usually a little cheaper than the big three.

the interior was a little much for me but this is ingenious. Congrats on a nice professional looking job that I might think about doing in the future. ie when I get my laptop.
congrats on a job well done
