"truck" would be a better description

supercharging is pretty expensive so if your gonna do it, be sure you have a really good shop to oversee it

yeah its about 2700 for the supercharger, but it provides around 40% more horsepower to the rear wheels so its well worth it

Go for an Alpine head unit over a pioneer. My brother had the latter and it was nowhere as near as good as my alpine which cost half the price.
Thats IF sound quality means anything to you over crappy little animated dolphins and such.
One more thing, you never need more than one good sub, I still don't understand how people can't grasp this. If you have 2 subs running from 1 amp then you're only splitting the power to the 2 subs meaning you only end up with the same output. Unless you have 2 amps and 2 subs, which there is really no need for because 1 good sub gives you more than enough bass, and think how much it would weight you down having all of that crap in your boot.

It is a sweet ride Glen, but that comment is BS, Cherokees (esp. the V8) need to breathe. You should at least get a CAI (Cold Air Induction) K&N make a decent kit for the inline six aswell as the V8. At the very least drop in a K&N filter.
Then a cat back exhaust I prefer Stainless Steel ones like Borla, Magnaflow and Corsa (stay away from Flowmaster, hooker, and the like) That will add aprox. 30-40hp to the pavement and give you way betta throttle responce and gas milege.
Be warned tho once you get bitten by the mod bug thare is no turning back.

The first one is a newer version of mine, although it doesn't say on the site as far as i could tell, it can play cd-r/rw's aswell but not mp3's But it's still a very good head unit.
I wouldn't know which to go for.... Obviously the more expensive one is more powerful, but it's 50% on the price of the first I'd find it hard to justify spending that. If you've got plenty of money go for the 2nd, if it's a case of saving money etc go for the 1st...
I've never found those remotes useful myself, it's hard to find somewhere where they are more convinient to use than the actual unit itself . They have so many small buttons on you dont know what you're pressing. Whereas on the unit you have a big dial, that when you use you don't even need to take your eyes off the road. It could just be a case of getting used to one? [ 29 July 2003, 05:35: Message edited by: 2-D ]

yeah remote seems useless for the most part, i only see use for it if you were playing music from your car but you wernt in or something... and as for mp3 support i dont see it as being that big of a deal, who needs 200 songs on one disc anyway? plus i might as well spend the extra money on speakers and such

They don't sell them in the US.
It's called a Vauxhall Corsa.
P.S. sorry about the shit quality of the picture, I lost hell of a lot when I had to scale it down from a 2400 x 1800 [ 01 August 2003, 11:50: Message edited by: 2-D ]

It hasn't got a very big engine, infact it's kinda small lol. But it's great at cornering and it's really fun to drive. I would of got something with a bigger engine if it hadn't been for insurance, at the moment I'm paying about £2000 a year thats about $3500 heh...
Yeah I've no idea why they are called Boras, sounds a bit shit compared to Jetta, but I like them. I wouldn't get a VW around here mainly because my brother had one and the dealers around here are absolute dicks.
