*** UPDATES AND UPGRADES JUNE 2008 ***
SOUND AND FURY!!!
AUDIO UPGRADE, GOODBYE TO STOCK HEADLIGHTS, AND LET'S ADD A FULL PULLEY SWAP!!!!!!!
SOUND FIRST: Alpine Amp with a 10" Sub. Nothing huge but more than enough to bump up the noise. Next audio fix will be a second amp to power the sub and use the 4 Channel Alpine to clean up the stock system. No need to break windows, so will probably keep the stock unit and speakers after the second upgrade, unless of course I manage to blow out the stock speakers at some point, then may as well replace all of it and attempt to lose my hearing. Props to Sound On Wheels for an outstanding job, and to Jesse for the amp, and Aaron for the sub and enclosure.
WHAT????? Pulley swap? Madness! Indeed, mad crazy quickness! Okay, maybe not like adding 100 hp or anything, but you definitely DO feel the increase from restoring lost, or "parasitic" hp by swapping out the stock "we need weight watchers" pulleys and going with the feather weight ones instead. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SIMPLE MOD!
Alternator and Water Pump Pulleys from NST
Crank Pulley from Agency Power
PUTTING A LITTLE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT....
No more stock pale headlights --
Need some white fogs under those new white lamps....
Final pic shows a nice reflection from blue LED's overhead at a local gas station -- kinda looks like the car is sportin' blue light effects, and makes ya think that maybe some blue underglow should also be on the future shopping list....
