My daily is an Integra Its my wifes Hooptie lol... the 240 was my daily, but it crapped on me and my G35 is torn apart getting twins installed on it... Definantly looking at a Tahoe too lol or a Nissan Titan
yeah I was looking at the titans...NEW but Nissan wanted to damn much. The resale value is **** and I could pick up a year old to 2 year old model for almost half there asking price. Tahoe's are still up there...yes a 240 with an ls1!!! YUMMY!!!

Cadillac XLR are always fun! yes my car is currently being finished at the shop right now with a single turbo! should pick up hopefully tomorrow or maybe today..

Im definantly not getting a new titan... maybe an 04 or something... The 240 was sick!!! I got 5 grand out of it, so that helped pay for my wifes Integra and some new goodies for the G35 and a mini vacation for me and my girl. lol.

26 you are old as heck! LOL... 25 is old to me Dallas would be a road trip, but thats why I have the G! And I cant wait for F/I, my car would be done already but I have been sent the wrong gaskets for the turbo to exhaust manifold TWICE!

Well besides the busted front end Thats a straight silvia front end my buddy got me in japan. And the car he pulled it from rear ended another car so I had to do a little fiberglass repair on it, but it never fit right :/

It was fun though lol It dyno'd at 379whp 409tq... A little under powered for an LS but not bad at all in that little car lol... It would get sideways with the flick of the clutch and steering wheel lol

Reviving an old thread for 2 reasons:

1) G35man04 - do you have pics of how & exactly where you mounted the radar unit in the bumper or grill?

2) if anyone is still interested in getting their detector installed in their mirror, check out http://www.radar-mirror.com/
They are in the Dallas area, but you can ship them the mirror and unit from anywhere. Tell them Trent sent you. Scott is a great guy and does amazing work.

He's been doing pretty well with it for the past year, but hes been perfecting the methods of it for quite a while. It's quite impressive actually. Do you know him?

That's cool. I don't know him well either, but he runs DFWAC, so we've hung out at various meets and such. I think I've seen Acree's name on that board as well.
