I have always taken my car to Unique Auto Body, 7800 South and about 700 West. They make it like new, did a damn good job on my 8.

Alright! So just to start my Rant!. . . Was drivin my car . . (Secretly) on Saturday and noticed everytime that I turned i would hear a thunk noise under my hood and felt it in the steering wheel. . .So I popped the hood and found out that the bottom Power steering screw was completely loose and hitting my u-joint on my steering linkage. . . I will post pics up tonight. . . But then I freaked out and frantically looked threw the rest of everything. . . I found a broken off screw, A Missing screw, a missing bracket that holds the Wiring harness up and that was what I found within a few mins. . . Im going down to mazda on Monday to majorly bitch and complain. . this is completely unacceptable. . .

The guy seemed like he knew what he was talking about and they claim to garantee the results so im hoping it comes out good.. it was a little over 800 in repairs.. new bumper, new grill and then the paint and labor

I just installed new motor mounts and OMG! It's like the car isn't even on it's so smooth. I can't believe the difference it makes.

Dom, I know I am going to the Vegas meet. You got the hookups on rooms?
Just PM him and he will work it out for you

Hey, you don't even need an ice scraper in winter. Just crank that up and the ice shatters and falls right off!

^Yeah, neither does mine. Sits in the garge for 3 or 4 months out of the year.

When I bought our 50-inch plasma TV last year, I took our old 37-inch TV out to the garage and set it up in front of the 8's parking place. It occured to me that I could sit in the 8 when it's parked for the winter, and watch movies out there, like a drive-in theater, lol!.

That's freaking great JT.

I like the bump in the trunk 04, are those 10's or 12's?
I will eventually one day put some $$$ into a system,
I just want to spend money on power and suspension first.

I just put a single ten in mine. It was actually one I had laying around, Im really into systems but I dont like it with too much base where it drowns out the highs, the single ten I have hooked up I actually have turned down a bit because of that. Its got the factory bose system and I honestly thing it sounds great now for what it is.

agreed, I Will never own a 15.. SOME 12's are ok but honestly im a uhge fan of 10's. Im also a van of having 1 or 2 HIGH QUALITY subs vs more shitty ones. the single ten I have now vibrates the car enough as it is. its an old rockford hx2. I Wouldnt have bought it but it came in an old car I bought and it sounds pretty damn good for what it is. Im more of an eclipse/jl fan.. Just want it CLEAN not so much loud

yeah it sounds fine. I am just more of a fan of super clean sound vs the fosgate which is pretty clean and pretty loud.

Also, as for cleaning under the hood. anyone used those things at the spray and washes for cleaning under the hood? under mine is a freaking mess and that seems like the easy route as long as its safe..
