Car was totaled, moved on to an SUV, leaving this page as it was.

R.I.P.

 

ok lets see
I've done just about everything to my car myself. Didn't pay someone to do it.

my car is black

I had some discoloration of the headlights (they were yellow) but a gently wiped it down with acetone and it took the layer right off. I think it was just very old pollen but I couldn't get it off with anything else. Here's the results:

I've got a weapon-r cool air intake and a shark racing front strut.

Update: I moved the battery to the trunk and added a second one, theres now room for my intake to move into an open spot. Got a spolier, need to get pics.

Turbo exhaust manifold came in from ebay!

waiting on the turbo, fed ex says its in NJ.

Still need an intercooler, various pipes, downpipe, and turbo MAF.

eventually will need to get ECU remapped. (300$)

 

in the trunk: two kenwood KFC-W251110 inch subs in a custom ported box
there is some tube noise from the port but you cannot hear it from inside the car, only if your head is in the trunk.

these things pound! I wana get a sloted vent box, theres a q logic one tuned to 32hz. I'm also looking into "porting" the back speaker dash. and maybe pointing the subwoofers in another direction/moving them around the trunk. The trunk rattle can barley be heard from the inside of the car, but on the outside it is rediculous.


1000 watts peak power each
50-300 watts RMS power range
30Hz-1000kHz frequency range
90dB sensitivity

a JVC KS-AX5700 Amp:


900 Watts Max. Output
Continuous power (RMS) of 200W X 2, into 4 ohms, 20Hz- 20kHz, at less than 1.0% THD

I bridged the subs to mono in series, which should be giving the amp 8 ohms. They hit alot harder in mono setup than when they were in stereo.

I'm looking to sell my subwoofers, box  and amp at some point in time, brand new this is all worth only about 400$ but I will sell it for 200$ the speakers are about 6 months old, the box 4 months old and the amp less than 2 months old.

and a Pyramid seven band graphic equalizer with 12

db boost. I wana move this to the slot under my sony headunit, there seems to be some kinda spot i can probably fit it into.

 

and I painted the vinyl on the doors, pillars and a few other things black

 

 

I tried to cut out the center of the grills so i could attach the grills that came with my boston acoustic speakers but there were a few complications so I took some old speaker grill mesh and cut it to shape and filled in the hole.

here's a picture of my switch to toggle the lights, I used one of the placeholder things on my dash and cut a hole in it, then installed a switch from radioshack, theres an inline fuse behind there too.

recarpeted back speaker area and put on different speakers; 6x9 boston acoustic speakers.
