Not bad. You staying SOHC?

 

good job on the macros,

but I'm not too fond of the wheels...

 

most likely...I am going to pick up another Y8 head and send it to Endyn to get some work done (they are local) and then get some good springs and valves and such in it, with no more than stage 1 cam. Not any rush on it. Then a larger TB and get another IM and have it matched to TB and head. That way there will be minimal downtime. As far as the bottom end goes, I was thinking about some P29 pistons and LS rods...that is way down the line though. I am not looking to build a beast...just a fun car.

 

That is actually my second set of Slipstreams. My 15x6.5s got jacked, and I decided to go with them again and stepped up to 7"

 

what gauge speaker wires did you use? damn i had trouble running 1 set of 16 gauge through. i did not take the fender off though....

 

I used 14AWG and ran two strands into each door. That was definately a PITA

 

Props for doing all your own work

 

You like to do your work like me....done right the first time. Whenever I do stereo installs, I like to pull the interior like that. Awesome work!

56k murderer!

 

very nice work.

 

great work! looks like you put a lot of time into it!

all you need is a lip and some more power

 

i give you mad props for your attention to details..

 

Looks good, for doing clean work

 

Me like me like. You get a from me y0

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone...there is definately a few hours labor in it. And I hear the more power part...but not until the suspension is finished and I fix the brake situation. I should have at least the head and IM mostly finished and ready to bolt on by the time I get those two areas finished though.

 

good work man! i'm glad you didn't take the easy way out and had people put stuff in for you. it makes you appreciate your car 100x more.

 

i'm doing the same exact thing to my stereo right now a definate PITA but yours looks really good and i actually have a lot of the same stuff as you so hopefully mine turns out just as good.

 

wow tons of pics! I dont know how you did it... whenever i am tryin to get somethin done on my car i dont even hardly take the time to breathe.... cool pics of the processes you went through... makes all the parts you installed all that more meaningful

 

wow for all that werk

 

Did you take a picture of you brushing your teeth? Then eating breakfast, and then putting socks on and then walking out of your room and into the hallway, and then opening the front door and taking your dog for a walk, and then after that did you take a picture of you taking your shoes off and sitting down on the couch and turning on the TV and eating chips and then scratching your *** and finally drinking some pepsi? Did you? - Yeah i thought so.

word, great job by the way on all the work

 

its good to see someone else that takes their time on their own stereo **** and does it properly!! good job man, the only i'd change is the front grill, id replace that with an SI or type r grill

 

What matters is, do you like it? **** our opinion.

 

great job, seems like you are really into doing things right. Can't go wrong with that kind of attitude

 

nice suspension and great stereo install...

wanna do mine...
