I'm not feeling how the wiring is exposed for the sub... the rest looks very clean though. The amp is probably starving for air too...

Aren't the JIC FLTA's the coilovers that a lot of people were having problems with?
Not sure - I know that Derek (pikestyle) and Chris (punisher) both have JIC coilovers on their S2000s. Both love them, I personally will stick with Buddy Club.

Good looking out, but after riding on the CS's for so long I'd like a set that are more stiff. If I did decide to stay with Tein I would look towards the RA's.

I am concerned that will be a trend for a while. The oil prices are out of control, the highest price for foreign and domestic crude ever. The unstable issues in Iran, possible sanctions, etc. over the nuke mess. Saudi Arabia problems, terrorist attacks in London and elsewhere, along with many many other world events are setting us up for a major economical problem.

I can see gas being over $3.00 by October, and then home heating oil thru the roof by winter. I think people will back off big ticket items for the short term to see how all this plays out.

The only thing going for us now is low interest rates and good economic numbers. That will change when the collapse of several major airlines takes place (because of fuel prices), they are on the edge of collapse already. Then US car companies will not be far behind. GM can't continue to lose 1.9 billion a quarter for long. They are not a healthy company anyway. Ford? Maybe not as bad.

Then the housing market..... overpriced homes that will be worth much less than is owed when that market comes crashing down, and I believe that it will. All those ARM's that are maturing with folks that barely could afford the interest only part of the loans, many will foreclose and start pricing pressures on the appraisers. There are going to be too many "backwards" on their home loans because of borrowing against false equity that will be the real back breaker in this market.

Anyway, I think I could be wrong. Hopefully life will continue to be great and the future bright.

Sorry for the long vent. But I am worried. thought I would share those with you.
I hear you Mark... a few months ago I bought into a newly built home and I don't like where it's going

I almost think though, that people talking about the bad housing market is a self-fulfilling prophecy - like how the stock market can fluctuate on speculation alone... so while I have the same worry, I try to smile and not fuel the negative speculation

A toast to a stable economy

buy them new. it's only a couple of hundred more. So that way you don't have to go on what someone else says. Plus just becuase its only got 6k on them, doesn't mean he didn't ride the hell out of them. And you might end up running into the same problem as you did with the teins.
