The Bimmer has sold!
Announcing my new Bone Stock 2000 year model Grand Prix GT. Let the fun and games begin.
Car's engin is almost completely stock except for a short ram intake modification. The new air breather makes the car quite loud, that being a good thing. It also improves gas milage. However, I am either going to fabricate or purchase a heat sheild to protect the throttle-body from the heat caused by the front exhaust-header crossover. The crossover runs less than two inches under the throttle-body. Eventually a full cold air system will be installed placing the air-filter inside the driver-side fender.
I did have to fabricate a braket out of aluminum in order to remount the PCM. Which, oddly enough, is contianed in the bottom of the factory airbox.
July 2nd, 2004 - I decided to add a rear sound stage for all those complaining passangers. I also ran 10 gauge wire directly to my headunit in order to stop under-powered issuses.
Nov 26th, 2004 - I just received and installed my new hifonics amplifier.
Nov 20th, 2004 - I have just very recently broken into car audio. Within the last two weeks I have framed out my car trunk for new amps and subwoofers.
Here is the unfinished sub box on its side. It will house a single twelve inch subwoofer in the bottom and two eight inch woofers in the top as shown installed in fig 1-1.
This is the empty trunk withcarpet removed and the parameter framed in with plywood.
Next is the amp rack itself. It is temporarily housing a single, dated alpine amplifier soon to be replaced with a Hifonics Warrior Eagle and a Hifonics Mono Block amplifier.
And here are some photos of were I am currently at:
