Haven't had time... but from what I've seen, it's a pretty pimping headunit. I don't know why I'm surprised. I spent months trying to find the perfect one. For my overall uses, it offers the best features and quality. Easily worth my money. I had the previous version in my Lincoln Continental and it worked great, so I thought "why not." I don't think any other head-unit in it's price range can even compare. Even more expensive units won't offer much more anyways. That headunit is a temporary solution though, until the Avic N4 comes out or something better. I need DVD/Navigation/Mp3/iPod/Surround Sound capability. Since no headunit really offers everything I need, I'm just thinking about customizing my own computer built into the dash. That'd be alot cooler and better for many reasons, but it takes alot of time. The laptop I'm on right now will actually be perfect for that and it's pretty souped up. Oh well, I'm rambling now... how is your headunit? On March 21 2007 12:27 kidd wrote: They are realitively inexpensive, and I think they are really nice cars. Good gas mileage and quite reliable. Why not get one? I think there are better buys. To me, the car screams "almost a Lexus, but not quite." Sure, it's a nice car... but there are lots of "nice" cars. Every car would be a "nice" car, really. I guess Scion would be one of those cars that pride's on balance. It offers power, but not too much. It offers luxury, but not too much. It offers good gas mileage, but not too good. etc. It doesn't really excel in anything, and my personal preference is cars that have a definite purpose. The way I see a Scion is like... Could be four door, giving it more space... Could either be more power or better gas mileage. Could be made of better materials, but isn't... etc. EDIT: And oh, my car is done tinted. Pimp -_-;; I'll post pics after my rims/new engine/turbo. | ||

 BTW strafe the lotus sucks to be honest. It has a VERY small engine and car that just makes the most out of 190 hp. If your having money to throw around like that Id suggest something that isnt going to feel noticbly slower when a girl gets in you car. The only thing that makes lotus stand out is that it has a curb weight of under 2000 lbs. If you want some luxury with a good engine, Id suggest the new audi a5 which has many options. It is a coupe and is very fast. And I mean if your that much of a boss go for the s8 when it comes out since it will have a lambo engine in it | ||

Did you know that auto trannies made today are actually faster and better than any human ever will be? The performance ones anyways. And who said I wasn't going to switch my tranny? I'm switching to left hand drive, so obviously... it's not even anywhere near complete. Engine drop is no big deal. Turbo attach is simple. That's why I'm doing it first. Besides, I am from NYC... I'm not driving a Manual transmission in 24/7 traffic. Trust me, I have been thinking about this car for a good few months before I have done anything. I know what I am doing. I have already worked on two '93 Civics that are 8 second-quarter-mile runners, a Lincoln Continental that was rough as hell to mod (noone mods a Continental so everything had to be CUSTOM CUSTOM-made), a SRT8 7 second-quarter-mile runner, and a BMW M5 (which still isn't completed). | ||

Yeah, I figured you'd probably switch the tranny anyways, seeing as how you're intending to drop 400+hp into it, and it'd probably explode if you didn't switch it. I actually hadn't though of auto being more efficient, a lot of manuals these days are actually slower from 0-60 and give less gas mileage. Still, I wouldn't call someone a proper enthusiast if they drove an auto. To each his own, I guess, I'm so conservative when it comes to cars. | ||

EDIT: And oh yeah, you should take a look at the new trannies they offer nowadays. They have some that even take out the gear shift "jerk" like in the new Nissans. What I meant was that many new performance auto trannies are also quicker at gear shifting than any human will ever be. That is obviously better for certain uses like drag racing or mostly straight away races. Manuals will almost always dominate drift racing though, IMO. EDIT 2: You actually can't put 400+ HP into an Accord. You can, but that'll make it too fast. That's why I'm only using Stage 2 instead of Stage 3 or 4 turbo. One of my friends put stage 3 in his '93 Civic and he can barely make turns. He has to take them real wide and make sure it's clear of all traffic each time. It's about a 4-5 second car though. | ||

My car is a 1981 celica! I tried to take pictures but lost my camera. And my car is probably afraid of photgraphs anyways. | ||

I'm just more of a balanced car guy, not really into the whole modding thing, at least not just one aspect of a car like most people are into these days. Let's just say this, if you claim to have a fast car, it better go fast around a corner as well. And for God's sake paint over that carbon fiber! P.S. Not directed at you. I just can't stand unpainted carbon fiber. >< Edit: I don't have my own car yet, so I just drive my dad's ![[image loading]](http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5091/199497hondaaccord968020pm4.jpg) His car is near perfect condition, no kidding.

Also, I like the balance as well... makinng turns is not really an issue if you are a good driver. People say that Suspension and car tuning makes your car turn better, but it's still left to your driving preferences IMO. For example, Lincoln Continentals are in no way, shape, or form meant to be a race car, but I feel that I can make better turns with the suspension/tuning in that car than any other car I've driven. And believe me, I've driven cars like Corvettes and BMW's which are supposed to have top-line suspensions. | ||
