burninator Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 RF-5 Cherry resto project They have some deep scratches on the wood and two woofers (both in one tower) have some pretty bad cosmetic damage. They sound great, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing that almost everything electronic is made in ShenZhen, China, the selection is pretty good. Lots of vintage gear too. Saw some nice JBL L222 Discos a while back and pretty much everything else. There is a center where all the hifi shops congregate and it's pretty much heaven. They even have a set of those huge Western Electric horn speakers. Also lots of vintage drivers, tubes and all the new stuff too of course. Lots of new Klipsch but little vintage Klipsch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars built on this platform are all time classics and some of the best cars ever made with engines producing the same horse power per liter as Ferraris. It's been a long slide downhill for Honda/Acura ever since. Hope they find their soul again. Hang on to that car. You're killing me! I bought a 95 4 door Integra GSR loaded new... knew I'd regret selling at the time but couldn't fit the family in it anymore and I was cash poor. The kids are quick to remind me that I had promised it to them when they were 16. I took care of that car like I was going to keep it forever. Had new leather, tires, clear coat and more when I sold it... I'm just making myself sad. With the rear spoiler I think it looked even better than the 2 door... and you could actually sit in the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard them briefly and they sound really good. Surprisingly so despite their age. In the store, which is packed with gear, the sound doesn't seem to be coming from the speakers. And they have a very nice midrange. Hard to describe further without using my reference CDs which are back home in Canada. This summer I'll have some free time and create a thread with pics of audio nirvana in China. Prices are typical retail. They need their mark up to pay the rent I guess. Lots of Chinese tube gear of course such as ShanLing. Which makes some really nice gear for reasonable prices. Promise I'll create a post with plenty of pics when I get a chance.

Schu Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Speaking of Variable Timing Electronic Control... Original owner of the very rare 1992 GS-R... B17a I bought it fresh off the showroom floor in 1992 for 25k otd... in 1992 dollars. By the time I was done, it was back halfed in FAL lexan, wore big four piston wilwoods (long before it was trendy), sprung on custom koni 2812 thread body shocks with hyperco springs, made around 185whp and weighted in around 2100lbs... a VERY fun car to drive 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a red 96 Eclipse GSX with all the bells-and-whistles. Had a little under 20K on it when I bought it. Sold it with 76K on it. Had intake, 3" from the turbo back, etc. Unfortunately, the 4G63 was known for crank walk. GSX's were heavy though. 3,150 lbs, or so, dry. Stock was 210 hp/215 tq with the manual. I had it at about 235 to 240 hp. Got rid of it thinking I was getting close to the repair. Kind of miss it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
