. i'm getting that fixed tomorrow so i won't get my lights in until next week.

They might have given you the Asia headlights, that's why they shoot to the left instead of right.

Anyway, sorry to hear that. That's suck

going 25-30 & looking on side-streets & corners where they may be hiding.

Have you noticed that not many cops are on Sloat? I've never seen anyone get pulled over, and if there are, they eating at that Hawaiian BBQ place.

Hella people get pulled over there. My boy's parents lives on sloat and we used to chill on his steps with a beer and watch people get tagged.

what?!?! omg, I must be trippen because everytime I go up & down I NEVER see any! Oh wells, I know not to speed on Sloat though. I usually just go down at 40 mph.

I would think the Great Highway is full of cops...but never see any either.

You'll never see them on Great Highway. One officer hides along the road parallel to Great Highway and clocks speeders or checks if any runs a red. Then their buddy waits at the end of the Highway and meets the violator there.

I used to see a lot of cops hide on slot close to sunset blvd exit or between that mall.

Saw exactly that at night. It's funny.

Do people still gather up on Irving, Friday nights, to race?

definitely bigger. What do you think of it? The video's don't really show the sound...but I seriously feel the difference in acceleration. I also notice a low grumble at low rpms as well. You can definitely tell the difference between stock & this intake though.

Oh, and I got the Fiberglass because I didn't want to wait 2-3 weeks for CF & it's 50 dollars cheaper + he did installation for free.

I see a lot of kids there, but I don't know if they plan to race. Some folks tried organizing 19th ave races a while back, but as you can imagine, that got killed fast.

Back in my days, we had brotherhood and milpitas.
