Worcester/Boston Social Thread
It takes a little bit of the 'ouch my nuts' if you power through it, rather than on decel. Or you can pay attention and swerve out of the way of the pothole 
i've been pondering this for a awhile now. I'm convinced we can either machine a plate for the climate control relocation, or fiberglass the lower cubby alltogether. you weren't at the drag strip when we went. My buddy marin has a carputer, and fiberglassed a screen bigger then double din. looked real clean.
When my bike is ready, I will definitely hit you up. I love rippin around Boston on the bike. Its more fun than most people think. Back in the day behind Fenway/in front of TequilaRain we used to gather there with some of our friends from Boston. Sometimes 50+/- bikes causing a rukkus through the city
Here is a clip of the team I used to be on. We have a DVD but this is all I could find right now. It was a clip someone put together, and not everyone on the team is in the clip

edit:If you have ever seen the Godsmack video for their song "Speak" 5 of the team members were invited to ride in for making the video. My friend Brian who managed our team is very close friends with the lead singer Sully.

While i cannot backup his knowledge i think he is one of the more experienced guys on the forums.
If you can fab up the HVAC relocation i think the JDM double din is decently cheap.

dexter, i think we can fab the top piece off of the existing insert. simply cut out the 2 din hole and build back the rest of the structure.
for the bottom, i'm thinking just take the existing piece, and solder (is that the rigth word for plastic adhesion?) in a flat plate and dremel otu the holes for the hvac stuff.
assuming they look good, paint and install!
worst case i buy two inserts from mitsu and unsuccessfully destroy them
good call...

I dont think he is knocking the 1x1 method, i think he is saying the normal ARPs are no better, or barely better, than the stock bolts so by changing to them using the 1x1 method you are just disturbing the headgasket.

that kit is fully functional minus RAM and a HDD. for HDD i'm thinking compactflash SSD setup for OS and USB HDD for data...
EDIT: power supply is the only looming issue...

They call me the rhymenocerous
Not because I'm fat
Not because I've got birds on my back
But Because I'm horny (I'm horny)
When I'm on the mic
I'm like global warming
You can't ignore me
In the bedroom I'm the gentleman
All the ladies *** before me

turco please don't take this wrong, but you will stall it, even with all the warning in the world. just ask paul. i would bet my most annoying cat's life on it, not one of the good one, just incase you manage not to stall it, but i'm pretty confident that this thing is a bit too retarded to just jump into and not look like a tard trying to drive the first time i really am going to shyt myself if you jump in and take off just fine. paul what are your predictions? but time will tell.....wednesday will tell

Don't believe the hype
JDM bezel can be purchased for around $150ish, looks better than the orbital too!!
from what i've seen, never take a factory block apart if you don't have to. it just leads to trouble. my interpretation is that the factory does a really good job and unless you MUST crack the thing apart, don't do it. ie- don't just install head studs for ****engiggles....
