I had to put on camber arms, my rear is just out of specs -2.7 rear on both sides (I like how it looks) most important is that toe is in specs. I also put on 15mm spacers on the rear to bring my wheels out to sit pretty much flush.

I don't tune off of satellite unless I must. I've gotten used to it and when I do have to listen to good old "radio" I tend to twitch. I've ordered a replacement for the 3" antenna, which came apart just above its base. The new one is only about 3/4" long. No bigger than the base of the one I have. It's due here Wednesday. It'll suck as an antenna but it should look good.

So, if you are interested in good looks, go shopping for antennas on fleabay. If you want reception, as OldGuyFla suggested, stick with the OEM.
All good info...not going with XM cause i have an issue with paying for the privilege of listening to music. I'm either using itunes, streaming, or old fashioned radio. Guess I'll be sticking with the OEM.

I have to use satellite due to living way out in the country. before having a radio that could get satellite I had to carry CDs.

Come to think of it, they did all eventually get ate by the old Kraco...

Had them for a long time also. Probably not older, 69 here.

I don't believe I can remember too many that didn't get eaten.

Let's see. Catching up...

I can't remember an 8 track that didn't get eaten.

OldGuyFla has 3 years on me. I guess that makes me RelativelyOldGuyIn.

Back to TX370ZVert's antenna question:

I did some experimenting. I actually tuned to my local FM radio station. (I'm over it.) This antenna has better reception than the 3" "carbon fiber antenna" (Quotes because it wasn't really carbon fiber or an antenna.) I had on it before. I can't say how it compares with the stocker. First I'd have to find it...

Anyway, I even think I like the looks of this one better. Less like a hamster in heat and not at all like a walkie-talkie rubber whip.

Hi; I am just getting started. I powder coated my 19 inch rays black light textured. I am waiting for some K&N intakes. I am really trying to figure out exhaust. I am not sure about cat backs or axle back system. I drive all the time with the top down, and don't want it so loud on the freeway, but at the same time, the stock exhaust sound is just unacceptably quiet. Any recommendations?

Wow that looks great, that's even shorter than mine (1.5") I think I saw that one on E-Bay.

Hi

You're looking good! I still have my original exhausts. I'm like you I have my top down all the time & don't want it too loud. So I'm going to leave it the way it is. I don't think mine sounds too bad at all. Not sure if the 10s & 14s are the same or not.

I've had my Fast Intentions cat back system on for 2 months now and am very happy with it. it sounds great top up or down, and not too loud IMO. I went with the 18" resonators which is the quietest option. No other mods to the car yet.

Damn...8-tracks...now there's a trip down memory lane...haven't used one since my '74 homebuilt customized van with the shag carpet all around...

Do you have the source/name/etc for that super stubby? I really like the looks of it especially if the reception is decent.
