This is my 1998 Fire GT. My wife bought it new in 1997. We met in 2000 and, needless to say, it was totally stock. So, after we got married, we traded in my Tacoma and got her a new Durango. Then i got the car. Since i have been into custom cars for about 8 years, i did a little to it.
-RK Sport CAI
-Goldline 1.75" lowering springs
-KONI Reds all around
-17" chrome Limited wheels with Bridgestone tires
-Full custom 2.25" exhaust with straight through mufflers, stock GT tips so the police leave me alone.
I have also had about 5 different stereo configurations in the car, but no pics since they weren't pretty. But they were loud, and sounded good, all built by me, so that is all that I cared about. My current one goes as follows... JVC cd player pushing the stock tweeters, and run to a profile x-over. Profile 200sx pushing Pioneer 4x6s in the doors. Profile 400sx pushing Pioneer 6x9s in the rear deck. Lanzar vibe248 pushing 2 Kicker compVR 10s each in their own 1.63 ft3 SPL competition ported boxes. All of this is strengthened by a Stinger digital readout power capacitor. I consistently hit around 144dB @ 44hz. Not too bad for only $1200 spent, including parts. And here are some more pics.
My future plans include Mantapart full coilover suspension (summer 2004). Fully functional ram air hood, and custom front bumper, don't know which one yet (winter 2004-spring 2005). Fully rebuilt 2.4, blueprinted and bulletproofed, bored .020 over and stroked to 2.7L, ported and polished head, Garret T3 turbo, all custom(spring-winter 2006).
These are always for sale: $600 with tires, they should be good through the summer of 2004. After that we will negotiate.
