Shure for earphones. I always thought sennheiser were a bit overpriced or over bassy. But still shit on Bose.

Start spending anything north of $200 for anything other than sound cancellation and MP3's dont so the headphones justice.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

who needs a Mic? you just plug your headphones in the mic jack

I remember plugging microphones into headphone jacks when I was younger...you did get a tiny bit of sound out of them

Hey guys, had some problems with the Evo over the past few days... can I bounce some ideas off you to help diagnose?

2 days ago the head unit (Aftermarket JVC Double Din Touch screen) just went blank and restarted as I was driving home.

1 day ago on my 50 minute drive home it happened 3-4 times, most of the time after I'd been sitting at a set of lights for a while, literally the second I let out of clutch and started moving forwards. So at this point I was thinking "Maybe a loose power connection at the back of the head unit?", but it always started back up immediately by itself.

This morning I was cruising along eastlink at a hundred, Head unit went off like all the times before but when it started up (and was playing the radio just fine), but there was a message on the screen saying "Power off unit". A few seconds after I noticed that the engine gave a shudder and lost power for a split second, a few reds came on the dash (engine shutdown) and then it restarted itself with momentum and being in gear. The Check engine light stayed on until I pulled over, turned the car off and back on. Drove fine with no loss of power for the remaining 20 minutes of the drive.

Head unit went off once more when I was pulling into the carpark at work.

Thoughts?

if I mysteriously go missing from the forums you know the Evo blew up

Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have said that!

first thought

bad earthing?

Where though, and why has it popped up only in the past few days?

Engine bay has a full high quality earthing kit which connects about 10 different places together, inc the battery itself.

Think I'll dig up the multimeter here at work and check battery and alternator voltages, though that'd surely show up with the battery light on the dash.

Perhaps an arc from a short made the ECU temporarily confused, or read the CAS wrong, and that caused a misfire or shutdown?

bolts come loose, just start checking connections.

after that check connections and current on alternator

then battery test

def sounds electrical tho

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
