My Prosport is a 3 gauge unit and I have had NO issues with it.

My FlyRX7 pod is a 4 gauge unit and it is VERY well made like Gringo stated. It definitly is of better quality than the Prosport one BUT they both have been great so far.

The Prosport will live on in one of my sons FD..

Washed her. I'm fairly certain the car was like, "WTF are you planning on doing with that hose, bucket and microfiber cloths?". It has been so long...I'm sorry about that baby.

I towed a guy in a '97 or so 240 SX with my FB. His starter had went out and he had pushed it downhill for a few blocks and couldn't get it started. I grabbed the tow strap and hooked it to the rear tow hook on both cars. Then slowly towed the car back up hill for him. Wasn't very steep, just a slight steady grade. We pushed it back in his driveway. My FB pulled the car with no problems. No spinning, slipping, etc. Should have made pics, but didn't have time. Thought it was a funny story, figured I'd share it.

All new bushings, endlinks, toe links, arms and a vmount are the pesents to myself for Xmas. Paint and Body can come after DGRR 2012.

With that in mind Ruler Mark and I decided we have nothing better to do exterior wise between now and DGRR so we are going to try and make our cars as visually as horrid as possible.

Step 1 today: Added (genuine) CWest widebody rear bumper to my car that has been sitting in my storage unit and his shop for like 2 years.

Step 2: Add ugliest, old school, veilside front bumper we can find (tentative completion date: 12/14/11).

Additional items of consideration: Colored "Cwest Bubble" Headlight lenses, ugly sideskirts and all the Drifting Stickers we can find.

Pics and successful forum trolling to come...

PS: Cwest bumper had fantastic fitment! Nice piece!

can't wait to see this thing c-west some of us FL guys are meeting up for a cruise at DGRR next year. we have a local that is coming up with some nice roads for us to cruise on, let me know if you and ruler mark are down.

also, got some legal advice on the LLC's that i wanted to share, send me your e-mail address and i will share the letter that my RE lawyer drafted in response to case we spoke about some months back. i know you swear by Land Trust but he states in his letter that the corp vail was breached only because they (MGRS) were using the LLC to commit fraud. anyways, thought i would make for some interesting discussion and/or reading?
