Welcome to my page. If you couldn't already tell by the title, it think that my car is going to die fairly soon if i don't cough up some money to have her fixed. But hell, she still looks good!
not bad for a 17 year old kid...and yes that is the back bumper of Phoenix_gold's Biege Beast.. along with the front half of Zaphoid's Impulse (my Brother.
Anyway, I got the car summer of 2000, and worked on the car all summer (i was unemployed at the time) well it took a whole summer of work but i finally got the dammed thing running. Rotary engines are a bitch.
these things are way way to complex.
Now, To the system
Here's my head unit, it was a rather interesting install considering that the old stereo had 3 seperate units, 2 amps and about 200 feet of wire that has now found it's way into the garbage can. But hell it's bolted in there and it ain't comming out.
(Panasonic DFX-88) The shiny area around the deck is plexiglass that is painted black on the back side, pretty ingenious eh??
Up front i have a set of alpine 2-way 3.5" mids behind kick panles and in the back im running the stock clarion 2-way 5 1/5" so the sound quality isn't bad at all.
My pathetic little sub is run off of a Kenwood KAC-718 240W mono-block. Although the Soundstream SS8 reference sub was awesome in it's days, it dosen't measure up to anything high quality produced today.
I used to have a set of PG DVC 12"'s in the back but i was only borrowing them from my friend (phoenix_gold) until he got a new amp to run all four of his!
The most recent update to my car was this, my littel K&N. It may have taken a while to build the mounting kit for it, but it was worth it.. The stock replacement was only $10 cheaper!!!
Well here's the ass end of my car... and yes all that oil is mine. Sadly my diff has a cronic leaking problem that i just can't seem to fix, oh well i wanted to replace it anyway. At least it lasted through 17 years of abuse.
All the work that has been done to this car, while in my possesion, has been done my me, my father, mike(Phoenix), and my brother(Zaphoid) Take a look at their pages, you might like the setup.
Come back again i'll update constantly. In the future i'd like to replace the exaust(so i can pass emmisions testing) and maybe do a few other preformance upgrades.
