ok i have to ask, when you drive does the 1600CC make the lava lamp wax rumble to froth? aside from that you at least give a ray of good news about this funny event. you make money with it. the disc brakes are best in the rear for a baja. but you'll get to that later i guess. don't trip on the rear end. thats how a swing axle works. just keep it working for you. lol this is so funny that you came up on samba after you got the ride. you have good mojo though and i think everyone wants to help you out with this as best they can. you piad about $15000 yes? thats not so bad when you look at some of the other prices people try to get here.

I havent even seen them move yet . Its been so cold and it takes a while for them to heat up . I want to do whats safest first as the brakes go . I thought the front was most inportant . Maybe you could enlighten me alittle more on that ? I just cant do all of them now, Its like $1000 .00 out of pocket i cant cover yet . . The only way i found you guys here at samba was in a search engine for" Pimp My Ride Baja " Luck was on my side so far , Every one seems pretty nice and helpful . and i would rather not coment on the price right now its kind of a sore spot seeing the car tv and then here . It need allot of work to make it safe and "fast as hell" :) The ungrateful chick even sold the chrome gas tank they installed . I am still pleased with the respose i get localy and hope i can get the same at the shows this year .

I am going with the coaxials but the wave guide tweeters will blow your mind . Plus at dealer cost its 1\3 retail price for me :) . Got to love it :) Honestly even if i werent a dealer i would use them at full price .. The comps are Well built But for the money coaxials are the way to go . Subs i will go with either Boston Pro's or Phoenix Gold Ti subs . Ill stay with the 10 inch s . They deliver real good lows but still tight bass for my Korn and Pantera . Not to much in the rap music at all so its a sealed box . The amp i actually have already in stock . Im useing the Phoenix Gold 900.7 Ti . . Its almost the same setup i have in my Sante Fe . rev's all around , Boston 10.5's and a Phoenix Gold ZPA .5 .

Am I the only one that thinks the whole story of that car is sad? That girl seemed to love that car even though her friends made fun of it, but it was hers and it was her friend. I bet now she drives a Honda or some other pile with no soul at all.
