A little more on topic.... Although I agree with Lanson on the staple grain thing....

As I looked at the entrants deciding my vote, I was struck that my difficulty was similar to peering into a bag full of perfect diamonds and trying to choose the best one.

Great rides guys!

I hope not only we can get more people to vote, but with the twists of this month, people will have to vote at least a second time... Hopefully, we won't lose too many voters for the second round!
Interesting and nice rides indeed! For all tastes ; )

I'd probably have more votes if more of you guys came over here to demo my car with your favorite music.

That's an invitation that's hard to resist, Lanson!  Hope you have space to host the party ;)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Or come in my car and enjoy the music of the engine while doing the 1/4 mile in 12.0! Just teasing ;) I'm pretty sure you can get your Flex moving 0-60 in less than 5 seconds just by cranking up the subs!

I'm working on snagging a Fox Capri to satisfy performance cravings on my end.

Just love quirky boxy cars (Flex), ya know?


BTW my subs wouldn't impress you in most cases other than their detail.  No, the best part of my system is the total immersion, an immersion of an imaginary sound stage with correct 3D depth, like a really nice set of home audio speakers in a nicely set room with your eyes closed and you're able to pick out where the instrument is in the room, and how big the room is, etc.  A faithful reproduction of the original source recording.

My door midbass might impress you.  Those bad boys are big and powerful, and the level up-front bass I get often surprises people (including myself often.)  To fit a 8 3/4" midbass in the space of a 5x7, was quite the task and I'll remember it well for a while.

The front stage with pillar 2-ways and center 2-way, being 100% custom made, are all meant to get the very best sound stage reproduction I can, when paired with a processor and enough amplification.  I didn't like any commercially available crossovers, so I hand-built my own for all the speakers, using high quality home theater components. 

Basically what I'm saying is, it isn't something that's just a few add-ons to the stock setup, nor anything that can be bought in stores.  This baby is all about changing people's opinion (including mine) of what is and is not car audio.  A very close copy of what is possible in home audio hi-fi, that's the goal.


Yes, anybody local is more than welcome to have a listen, and by all means critique the system because that's how it gets better.


You know, a GTG would be really cool, if people weren't so spread out.

You have a great ride Lanson. Love the look you have given your ride and the amount of time you have put into your ride.

Hi Jimijak!
I finally had a bit of time to clean the car yesterday and took some pictures of the Inside. Since I didn't have any when submitting, let me know if you want me to post them here or replace one of the 6 pics in my ROTM submission. New pics are still in the camera at home, but I could upload them tomorrow.
Thanks!
