How much did you pay?

treceb 09-20-2005 09:16 AM

regular MD format can be compared to regular audio files. MDLP would be some what the equivalent of mp3 files. at least thats how i understand it. my MD deck doesnt play MDLPs. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Oh...she's faster than the 8......100-200 lbs lighter, more power.....turbo torque.....



handling...well...the 8 is just so easy to drive at the limits...the MR2 in experienced hands will put up way better numbers....me, this is my 1st turbo powered car, and 1st mid-engined car....I have a lot to learn.
