And just so you know, "ricer" is usually used as a derogatory term Welcome to the forums, and welcome to the tuner lifestyle _____________________________ 94 civic ex - For Sale! 01 Mustang - AEM dryflow filter, Hella xenon headlight bulbs 01 cbr600 F4i - too much to list (in reply to CU911) Post #: 2
