Front of a jeep? I think there is already one on the logo site, but it did not look very good. Basically just...

o||||||||o

With the circles a little farther up than they probably look there.

Make sure to visit the logo site linked above and upload any you create. The site has definitly seen a huge influx of new logos lately.

Oooo. I'm trading my beetle in for a new Civic Type-R (the 200bhp one), hopefully before the end of this month...

Anyone in the UK want a 2000 New Beetle with pre-installed empeg, sub, etc? 21,000 miles, FSH, Techno blue with leather interior, AC, etc.

Looking at it another way, you can buy a tuner module from me and get a free car

While you are waiting, get all your ID3 tags in order... (see the FAQ at RioCar.org)... That will save you tons of time.

I just uploaded a bunch of logos, there are awaiting approval. 1. A few WRX logos, 2. An STi logo, 3. a Front 242 logo, 4. a VW Jetta logo (w. pic of car) and 5. a Pfeiffer Beer logo.

Sweet! Thanks for the Jetta logo. I think most of my tags should be in order. I ripped most of my MP3's myself and was careful setting up the ID tags. My main problem is that most of my collection is ripped as WMA for my Nomad Jukebox. I'm now in the process of re ripping everything as an MP3 since the coversions tend to sound awful. I'm going to be busy this next week.....

RioCar 20gb BLUE in MKIV Golf GTI Turbo

Any pics of your install? I'm about ready to install mine in my MKIV Jetta GLS. Also did you have to do any dash mods to complete the install?

Sweeeeet. Now i'm not the only one that will be labeled as having a "rice rocket" on this board. Your 99 Si is a shite load more suped up than mine. Check out the Si logo i did a long time ago... i've attatched it. You can just move up the Civic Si part and add what you want underneath.

Sorry I don't have pics, maybe soon ...

If its the same dash as the MKIV, no dash mods are required

Mine is like 3 Din apertures.
1. Existing Radio/Cassette/CD Changer control with an Autoleads adapter piped into the Aux In on the Empeg.
2. Empeg
3. Climate.Controls

Amp / Subs installed in boot..

Thanks

Slightly jumping the gun though, as I don't have the car yet, let alone a stereo install date...

Of course, if a compressed logo format was worked out and put into the kernel, you could query the tuner module for the ID at boot time; you could then display the correct boot logo to suit the car that the empeg is plugged into

That is an inaccurate description of the situation.

The end result is the same: The current beta has WMA disabled, and it will be re-enabled as soon as they can straighten out the details. However it has nothing to do with it being "worth licensing" or not.

Any British Level 42 fans with a Level 42 boot logo to share? I'd ask my fellow Americans, but they would probably respond with "Level who?".

I actually modified the "Drivers wanted" logo, so that it says, "Driver found" when in the car.

Unfortunately, it seems all the logos on riocar.org are Windows bitmaps rather than LogoMaker binary files, or I'd upload the pair.

Send them as separate logos and they'll show up side by side in the list. That's a cute idea (drivers wanted/driver found).

Remember that the logo editor imports and exports bitmaps. If you're using Internet Explorer, you can literally right-click on one of the logos at the site and hit "copy", then paste it into the logo editor.

Wow, I haven't seen anyone mention the name Level 42 in years. Wow.

Rest assured that the posters in here have a more diverse musical taste than you will find on many other message boards. Certainy a lot wider than you will find on any car audio message board where most of the people are into trying to move the bodily fluids of people in OTHER cars with their low-SQ 15" subs.

I'll start a music thread when things die down. But it would be easy to mention things that I doubt anyone else has uploaded to their units... For instance, how many people have any 25th of May tracks? Or "Full On: Mask Hysteria..." by Altern 8. And at the same time, "So Red The Rose" by Arcadia.

Any chance you could do a Boxster logo? I saw one with the name in Boxster script, but a side profile view of the boxster would be nice to have. Another one I'd like to make/have is a "Boxster S" logo in the boxster script.

You really should get the album, it's definitely worth it. DJ Nex did some breakbeat stuff after altern8 which was pretty good too - and the Euporia old-school compilation that came out a few months ago is mixed by him

01 09 will ask the tuner for its id.

The reply should be:

01 09 xx (xx+09)

Where xx is the tuner ID and (xx+09) is the checksum. You need to do this after you have switched the screen on, as the tuner is powered from the amp remote line.

Great Justin! The Alfa Romeo logo is perfect

Could you make this tweak for me: the number 1 5 6 spread from side to side (1 at left, 5 in the middle and 6 at right), wrote in 'bold' (in white insted of grey) with the grey Alfa Romeo logo in background...

Thanks!

What took you so long?

So, now we have a guy whose vehicle develops ~110bhp per liter (F355), and another one with 3 (container ship). We do have some airplane installs, don't we?

There is a CRX logo which I knocked up really quickly, on the riocar.org site, if you fancy having a go at making it better?

B16 power, soon to be way more than 110bhp / litre

My empeg is in my Ferrari 355 Spider... finally! What took you so long? Well, finding someone to do it for me mostly! Then, finding a space on their calendar that matched mine. They also installed a few other things, like an Alpine GPS, subwoofer, speakers, etc. (Changed my handle from rscorer to BLIMEY since that is my license plate!) Cheers, Richard

How's engine, road and wind noise in your beast? (BTW, glad to see you don't subscribe to 'engine noise is the only music I need' school of performance driving.)

Bonzi, I got so tired of all the Ferrari owners whining about "the engine is the only stereo you need" - bunch of ***** The cabin is actually well designed, so wind noise is not too much of a problem, unless I'm at Laguna Seca doing 120 - but then I've got a helmet on so don't hear it Road noise - well, you definitley hear and feel the road, but I like that. I don't like the modern sports cars which prevent you from feeling the road. I guess I'm old fashioned!! The engine is surprisingly quiet in the cabin - even with my Tubi exhaust in full mode. You have to be outside to appreciate the full engine noise, which I am thankful for! On long journeys, the engine was sometimes just at the annoying pitch for too long, so the stereo has helped in that regard! All in all, I am impressed with my little car, which has become almost a daily driver now. Except when the rain turns Californians into crazy drivers. Then I don't feel safe on the streets! Cheers, Richard

Ah, the Dinan. An impressive piece of engineering. Sometimes wish they did other cars besides BMW.

My only option would appear to be a twin turbo modification by Koenig - for the price of a small car!

The dyno is in PA, between Philly and Lancaster.

I have a F360 fund going now (used to be a 355 fund, the stock market made it look like a FORD F350 fund now, sigh). I think that if I ever get the thing, I'd just drive around listening to the engine, running under bridges like Doug at www.nsxfiles.com.

I'm not even sure I'll install one in the Supra, if I can find a place for an amp I guess I will... I only have two speakers in it until we build a new roll cage.

Shame, I'd love to see my car on a dyno, but PA is a bit far from my house in San Jose, CA!

I understand what you're saying about the stock market and your 355 fund... I was hoping to find a 3 car garage with a house attached, but then the stock market decided to play silly games.

Sounds like you do some serious driving if you're adding a roll cage. I keep wondering if I should put one in my 355 for my lap days (of which there have been exactly 1 so far!)

Cheers,
Richard

Didn't you say you have a Spyder? I would surely want a bolt in cage at the least for track days. My Supra has a full cage, the Eclipse is getting a full cage as well. I don't do enough driving, but hopefully more in the future...

I wish I had more space at my house, just a rather small two car garage. Where the dyno is, we have room for... well, I don't want to make you feel bad =0 Those car-skate things are great, you can really pack cars in with those...


(All this crap is for the business I've helped my dad start as he gets ready to retire. He is a steamfitter, and after I had him make some turbo related parts, I thought he might have a go at making parts for others. Cages, custom plumbing for turbos and wastegates, etc)

My WRX gets over 110hp per liter too! (2.0L with 227hp) heehee Turbos count too

Looks like this influx of new members will have some good benefits! Someone to FINALLY get a Winamp skin.

My logos are up on the site. What do you guys think of my WRX one? Guys, don't forget to post the logos on the logo site and to than Tony for the awesome editor!! (thx Tony)

Oh and BTW, I'm not fortunate enough to own a Ferarri, but my father in law has a 328 GTS and there is no point in have a stereo in that thing. It is only for Sunday drives and just listening to the engine purrrrrrrrr is all I need. It is a low mile car, so if it was used for touring, I'm sure my opinion would change.

Yes, I accidentally did link the urls :|

Anyway, The pontiac logo with GTP supercharged under it would be nice...

Is there a specific icon-editing program for the Empeg? I wouldn't mind doing some of my own.

Why yes there is! In fact, you need it to upload the logos to your empeg. IT is an aweeome little program. I use that and Paint (that comes with Windows software. You can even preview the logos in real size. I don't have a link for it, but you may want to do a search or check RioCar.org. You need it anyway!

With our logo count geting so high, can we categorize them into "auto" "music" "cartoons" etc.?

They already are. I suppose I can hack in a quick filter one of these days, and also add some more categories (since so many logos still fall into "Other")

Consider it bumped up on my priority list.

Thanks Drakino! And thank you for offering the site too! I don't thnk you get enough credit for it sometimes!

I thought they WERE once organized, but since the format change months ago, who do I browse by category? (or did you just get done saying you plan on working on that?) [Brad, get to bed]

Drakino. Ya thanks for the site, i am thinking about making a site similar to it, with some more stuff on it, and was curious if i could use alot of the infomation including the logos, other than my own, i would i have to get permission from others to do so, i was going to almost clone your site and add a few things into mine that i feel yours is lacking, or maybe help you with yours, if you wouldnt mind.. any input would be great.

I had a car that could bet 110bhp/litre it had about 135bhp/litre which was great but it was only 0.996 litres. but that was in a car that was only 750Kg.

OK, OK, 355 has atmospheric engine (OTOH, the record holder at the other extreme, your big floating thing, doesn't )

Er, I assume that Charade's 135bhp/l were with a little help from a turbo, right?

Actually, now that I think about it, my 2CVs had almost 50bhp/l, and that was as far from high-performance engine as it gets....

Okay alot of help from a turbo it took up almost as much room as the engine. One nutter has managed to get over 230 out of it.

i have never worked out what you get per litre out of the big floaty things but i imagine it is pretty piss poor and that is with the help of a turbo or two. but as our american friends say there ain't no substitute for cubes. It just happens to be cubic yards in my case.

My next ship is going to be steam powered next time but the cargo is fun part this time. LNG liquified Natural Gas carried at about 186 centigrade below zero damn cold.

The old sierra cosworths used to be tweaked madly - there were road legal ones with 650bhp from 2.0l. Ok, the engines didn't last long between rebuilds, but 325bhp/l on a road car is quite mad!

Steam turbine, I guess? What does it use as fuel?

He, I allways imagine those huge round LNG tanks as having a fuse at the top, like cartoon bombs I don't think I would feel completely comfortable on such a ship...

It depends we either run on the tarry stuff the others use or we take some of the gas out of the tanks. We use some of the gas normally anyway as it boils at that temperature which means we can keep it stable while on passage with no cooling plant.

Not all LNG ships have the big round bits (breast boats to me and a few others) alot of them have nice square tanks under the deck know as the trans gaz system where as the balls are called moss rosenburgh spheres.

I can see why you have the fuse image the gas expands roughly 600 times when going from gas to liquid and them when mixed with air in the right volume for an explosion it is expanded about another 600 times. So 1 cubic metre of gas gives you 360,000 cubic metres of explosive mixture and the biggest ships carry about 140,000 cubic metres of liquid gas. So you have a potential for disastor about the same size as a medium nuclear bomb.

LNG ships where banned from american waters for about 2 months after september 11th.

Some of you guys gotta try the logo editor... it is really simple. And you will need it to install the logos anyway.

With all respect, I vote against another logo site. I just don't want to have a dozen empeg/RioCar sites. I like the "one stop shopping" of this board (or RioCar.org).

Yes, I have a spider - and would put a roll cage in, except the car is #94 of 100 built. Yes, it's a special edition, so I'm not sure that a roll cage would be a good addition.

The stereo I installed is removable in case I ever need to sell the car, but a removable roll cage just doesn't sound too secure to me...

Decisions, decisions!

What do you mean #94 of 100? Is it a one of the limited colors?

You don't have a rare purple spyder do you?

How about a logo for a 1987 GMC Caballero. That's what mine is going in, assuming I actually get a unit...:)

Thanks,

Looks like the last time he was on based on his posts was around the time of the empeg merger with SonicBlue. (His profile is here.

There have definitly been quite a few people in and out of here over the years.

I think I might be the winner in the hp/liter category, my 1.3L rotary makes 360 hp in my (modified) 93 RX-7...

I know, rotaries are rated differently than piston engines, but it's still cool to say.

I'd like to request an RX-7 logo if possible, I don't have any ideas but maybe "RX-7 Twin Turbo" or perhaps you could use this attached picture:

oops, didn't work, here's the url to my site instead http://home.gci.net/~bob/blackfd.gif

So you're in Anchorage? That makes three empeg owners in the state now -- a 50% increase! Have you talked with Tom Meyers ("Liufeng")? He has a Mark1 and a Mark2 in Anchorage.

hey cool, you're in Fairbanks! Finally got some warmer weather up there eh, if 10-14 degrees could be called warmer... No I haven't talked to Tom yet, I found out about the empeg sale and this board from the vehicross forum. I'll probably do a road trip this spring or summer, a guy I met last summer just bought an RX-7 like mine and we're going to be tweaking it a bit like mine, so maybe if you don't mind I can check out your setup

If things go to plan, I am hoping to be in Wasilla with my SHOWagon on February 17 for the Iditasport bicycle race. Maybe we can get together then?

For those unfamiliar... Iditasport is the toughest mountain bike race in the world, 350 miles through ice and snow in temperatures as cold as 50 degrees below zero, checkpoints as much as 50--75 miles apart. Your bike breaks, you could die. Some have come close.

I might not be the winner here, but I bet I'm close =) Big turbos on Supra and Eclipse.

PS: Is your dog named Turbo? We named this farm dog that stops by the shop Turbo, and wanted to get three dogs:

Turbo, Turbette, and Wastegate

Single turbo on the eclipse? T-66, T-78, T-88? If so I envy you, you'd be up in the 600+hp club. Yeah I named our dog Turbo, he's an Eskie - an American Eskimo

To keep this mildly on topic , any hopes for an RX-7 logo, I just downloaded the logo editor and might start messing around with it

Supra is set up for road racing, runs a 60-1 turbo, tuned for 500hp to the wheels. That is too much power for me though. That turbo could go maybe 550 to the wheels. No problem to crank the power by swapping turbos, but my skills are not up to it.

The Eclipse has a 20g, nothing special, but 11s in the 1/4 none the less. I'd like to run a 10 with the 20g someday, might happen too.

Shop is in PA.

Cool, another black FD RX7 owner!
FWIW, the stock 3rd gen RX7's beer keg sized 1.3L powerplant makes 196hp/liter. I'd still rather have the F355 spyder however.

I was trying to decide on some graphic ideas; I was fiddling around with the "peace, love, & tux" logo and was trying to add a rotor to it, but couldn't find a rotor image to copy at that time. I also was thinking about "No Rotor, No Motor". Any other ideas that you might have?

Cheers!

Could you try your hand at one for my show/race/play truck please? It's a limited edition S-10 Xtreme with a few 'modifications'. :-)

Attached are some graphics of the truck's emblem. Here's a look at the truck if you're curious:

Ummm, SUPER cool truck. If you live near PA, come dyno it for free. Also, I think you need to strap on two small turbos, maybe something like twin T25s. Cheap, low boost, get you in to the 10s...

VERY COOL!!!

PA is quite a drive from Texas, but thanks for the offer! I did dyno it almost a year ago and it was 430HP at the rear wheels. You have no idea how close I've come to putting twin turbos on it... But then it's all downhill from there...

hey Dave, are you on the rx-7 forum too? Nice, a GSL-SE too

how about an old one from the rx-7 email list: "Pistons? We Don' Need No Stinkin Pistons!"

Chuck that S-10 is extremely cool, are there motor mounts/kits already made for engine swaps?

Yeah, I'm on the RX-7 list, but I never have time to keep up with it. It makes traffic on this fourm look real light. Good Idea with the "Pistons? We Don't Need No Stinkin Pistons!" phrase. I have the old list's T-shirt with that phrase. I'll see if I can complete some rotor based logos this week.

Yeah, the 85 GSL-SE is the daily driver that I beat the piss out of. 140k miles and still going strong.

Cheers!

DINAN ///M

Check out www.dinanbmw.com, click on the following for some good logo graphics: gallery (bottom of page), emmisions, and search. Whenever you get to it, thanks!!

You guys COULD check the Empeg Logos site (link at the top of this page). I uploaded a Maxima logo yesterday (I have a thread in the "Off Topic" Forum. I also uploaded a Red Wings and Chilly Willy logo as pre people's requests.

Oh yes I do have a request: a Peugeot 307 logo. Yes I know, Peugeots are not available in USA, but if you do a little research you will find out it was named car of the year in Europe in 2001. As beautiful as can be, IMHO.

Your welcome on the Maxima logo.. Looking at it on the logo site, it doesnt look as good as it does on the actual player. I think the Nissan logo just needs to be touched up a bit. But the car itself was the hard part, so doing a little touch up with Tony's logo editor (which you'll need anyway to put the logo on the car) shouldn't be too hard.

EDIT: I just erased the Maxima logo from the logo site and uploaded 2 new ones with improved logo and tinted windows.

That's right, the 406 Coupe is one gorgeous car. If it only had some 30 more ponies, it'd be perfect. But even with 210 hp it's perfect for the vast majority.
The 307 is a very different kind of car, though. But it's nice in its own way.
