I would get in touch with Pete Barnes, of Jorgenson & Barnes and see if he could represent you. His partner Jay Jorgenson is one of the municipal court judges in Woodbridge. They are located in Iselin near the Metropark train station. Good luck!

That actually looks pretty good. It could give the Civic guys a run for their money too!

Thanks!

Just know that if you add any performance parts to your ride and then have a problem that these warranty's probabaly won't cover you.

Yes it is the very same MC Qwest!

PM me.

It looks way too much like the Aston Martin for my taste.

Is "clueless about music" Joanna Lewis still booking the DJ's for that place? I give it two months before there is a shooting there. That whole mall pulls a ghetto crowd.

Please post a location for Metro.

We are still interested in talking to any promoters who would like to work with us. Again please send initial response to: clewis@dancemusic.net

Take me to the top!

Bump It Up One More Time!

"George of studio 4 and laraver are both on the money" Kirk - Thanks for recognizing what I said. As you know I have struggled to get a foot in the door for many years. I am currently resident at a small club in South River and you are right on about what clubbers are asking for (rap/reggae/reggaeton/pop/r&b/a little bit of KTU vocals). The current clubbers think anything starting at 120 bpm's is "techno" CPer's check this out, this will make you laugh, I had some girl ( she had to be just 21) ask me last night to play some vocal techno. When asked what she meant by that, she said "like "Sweet Caroline" by Angelo Venuto." Like I said before if she got a dose of real techno she would probably turn to salt and die. I hate ignorant people like that, but unfortunately they are the majority right now. For now I will give them what they want and hope that the favored style of music will come back around to a more uptempo (125-140bpm) groove. LA RAVER

When I was thinking of becoming a DJ it was much different. Music was first introduced in the clubs by DJ's like Knuckles, Humphries, Morales, etc. It flowed from the clubs to radio play. Clubgoers did not demand instant satisfaction. They went on the ride, the journey, that the DJ created through an entire evening of programming. I would only go to clubs where the majority of the DJ's materail was stuff I could not hear on the radio, but only at that club. That's how DJ's traditionally built their following. Over the last 5-8 years the majority of people going to clubs now have gotten their idea of what clubbing and music should be like from MTV/VH1/Commercial Radio. So the focus has changed. Now commercial media dictates what will or will not be a hit. Videos glamorize the bling of the hip-hop lifestyle despite the fact that most hip-hop is low bpm/low energy. The songs have catchy hooks and refrains. You see it all the time, some idiot in there car singing along to the latest pop tune. then when they go to the club they expect to hear the same mainstream, lowest common demoninator, pop crap they listen to every day. They don't want to be challenged musically, they don't want to educated. They just want what they want, right now when they want it. If the commercial media pushed dance videos, as they do in Europe, maybe there would more of audience for uptempo dance music. If uptempo dance music were glamorized the way hip-hop has been I am sure you would have a much different following. It is amazing to me to work somewhere and have some ignorant 20-something girl come up and say "Can you play something other than all this techno ?" when the music being played is KTU style vocal dance music. If I ever played some real techno she would probably croak and die right there on the dance floor. I am continually stunned by the level of ignorance exhibited by a high percentage of Jersey's current crop of clubheads. House/Trance/Techno and other forms of EDM, unfortunately I feel, will continue to appeal only to those who are seeking an alternative to the mainstream crap that is fed to the sheeplike masses. It is music that people will actively have to seek out to connect with. As the average clubber in Jersey has a fairly wide lazy streak, most won't make the effort. No effort, no reward.

Bump!

About as good as that bike in your sig, though from November to April the car is off the road and being worked on to get it ready for the driving season. Right now the list of stuff to be finished by middle or end of April includes: 1) New rear tires 2) New rear brake rotors and pads 3) billet steel rear axles 4)New rear bearings 5) A stainless steel pressure bottle for the colling system 6) An aftermarket electrical relay kit to off load some stuff from the ignition switch 7) New driving lights 8) New fan relays I want to take the car to 2 Pocono Raceway events that Jersey Panteras participates in: 1)CSD, Celebration of Speed and Design 2) La bella Italia Macchina If the car is ready it will be the first time it has been to Pocono in 15 years. Should be a lot of fun.

1973 DeTomaso Pantera GTS, European Version, that's what I spent my 30K on. Probably the best bang for your buck you can get for 30K, both in looks and performance. A classic wedge body styled by Tom Tjarda, Mid engined like a sports car should be, four wheel independent suspension, unequal double wish bone A-arms, 4 wheel Wilwood Nascar brakes, 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8, fuel injected (mine develops 330 rwhp), mated to the 5-speed German ZF transmission (this is the same combination, Ford engine/ZF Tranny, that won LeMans four times in a row in the original GT40 until they changed the rules to exclude that car) The car came with nitrous but I am having that removed. I have 17" inch rims (the factory size was 15"), with tires sized 215-40-17 (fronts) and 315-35-17 (rears). I'll be changing the fronts to a 245-40-17 this spring for a greater contact patch and better braking. Not a copy-cat kind of car, you don't see them on the road that often

Hey I actually got a response! Actually if people were talking about actual cars, that they actually owned and actually did some work on themselves, other than slapping on a few parts on, it would make this board far more interesting. Sure it's nice to debate the merits of latest Mercedes SL80000 or whatever supercar. But how many of you on this board will actually ever sit in one of those things, much less own one? And even if you were working on a Japanese car I would respect that if you were really doing work (specing your motor from scratch, head mods, cam selection, basic hot rodding stuff) and not just throwing on a bottle of juice. I've seen examples of MR2's and RX-7's where the people did so much more than slap on a lame body kit, some intakes and nitrous. Their efforts were certainly worth recognizing. All I am saying is start from the bottom-up. Substance over bling.

Does anybody who regularly visits this board do anything besides tuner/ricer stuff? Enough with the rims, catback exhausts, and nitrous. I am in the process of working out the details of a CLEVOR (Cleveland Heads, Windsor bottom end) for my Pantera. DART Sportsman block, 9.5 deck height, bore TBD Forged 4340 steel, non-twist forging, 4.00 or 4.100 stroke crankshaft, Cleveland size main journals (2.750 inches), 2.100 inch rod journals. Forged 4340, H-Beam design, 6.200 length Scat connecting Rods. Forged aluminum pistons, yielding a compression ratio of between 10.5 and 11.0 to 1. The pistons will be coated with thermal and anti-friction coatings. The heads will be Australian aluminum 3V Cleveland canted valve heads. The builder says it should make around 650HP on 92 octane. Torque should be 500+ ft/lbs from 2800 to 6800 rpm. Pretty good for "old technology" especially when you compare that with what these "modern" overhead multi-valve more fragile engines put out. Anybody else on this board know what I am talking about?
