D2's ride great, I just got mine where I want them

 

getting a new windshield tomorrow. the original crack is now close to 10 inches and a new one has formed.

also, LEDs for the license plate, doors, glove box and trunk should be in this week.

 

hmmm, can wait to get it on..... chris how hard is it to adjust?

i'm in the east coast... and i've been looking for your guys but i cant find anybody

 

Just finished painting the engine bay of my car. Thanks Chris for the links and advice! Im going to get a black or grey (something that matches the IM) CAI with blue housings and tubes and also paint the strut bar I think. Any advice and you think I should keep the 2 tone with black acura logo pannel and black I masked off behind the spark plug wires? Give me your criticism on the color scheme and sorry for blurry pics, they were taken at night in my garage and it was fogged out. Look in my profile pics because I have not made a photobucket to upload yet.

 

EDIT BY BLACKACK: fixed the pics

 

I resent the link to Chris so hopefully he can put up my photos

 

Nice job Top!! What steps did you take to make it look like that?

 

TopGun, engine bay looks siiick.

 

nice engine bay TopGun

just finished up the blue clock mod, cut the wire too to prevent it from dimming. also just installed blue LEDs in the glove box, doors, and trunk. put in the order earlier for cool white LEDs for the dome and map lights. next, blue LEDs for the gauges.

 

I'd really like to LED all my gauge bulbs but I'm definitely not enthused about having to rip my whole dash apart to do it.

 

gauges are easy to take apart.

 

Follow the diy it's so simple, I've done it like 5 or 6 times

 

finally got some hella supertones (tired of ppl cutting me off)
but it might be awhile till they get installed, too much work these days

 

The relay is easy as shit, and they're super loud, you'll love them mitch

I'm currently balls deep in way too many mods at once... but that's usual for this time of year

 

Chris, what percentage would you say finished on your car's appearance... 50-75% or less? I want to see what you do with the goods under the hood!

 

meh, appearance I'd say 50% or so, I have been doing more stuff in the engine bay and interior lately. Next couple weeks will be interesting, seeing how far I can get before the meet, just got a few deliveries in. Major engine work is still a year or so out, which is why I don't talk about it, cuz it's in the planning phase

 

Gotcha. I was just curious

 

oh i hope i will, but really anything louder than stock, will be good for me, and horrible for the ppl that piss me off
i was searching the threads and could only find certain info on the install
so i have a few questions
so the relay i put in is gonna be behind the radio on the left... i'll try and figure that out when i get there i guess
do i have to run new wires to the horns or somehow splice the factory ones and connect them? ...cuz it doesn't look like the connectors are gonna be the same
and i am a pretty big n00b when it comes to wiring and stuff, so any help on this would be great

 

U just have to snip the wires and strip them and wrap the the wires and tape them off. I could post up which wire is which if u want

 

thanks chris, that would be great
i hate not knowing what i'm doing on these kinds of things
but i can usually follow instructions well
and whenever you get a chance, prolly won't have enough time for a week or so anyways
thanks again for the help

Cool

holy shit when did u get 2 supras? haha

 

i <3 markIVs

 

Holy shit I finally got my inspection sticker!

$120 later, my CEL should be off for good!!!

 

Here's what I did last night before helping my buddy rewire his system. I bought a new dual chamber ported box from audioenhancers, but the baskets around the 100 oz magnets are so big they don't fit in any normal 12 port. I bought this box hoping they would fit but ended up having to modify the sub holes on the box to get the subs to sit flush. Here is how the sub was sitting in the new box, obviously they don't fit note the gap.





Had to dremel out the ports to widen them with a sanding block attachment



Made sure to keep vaccuuming up all the dust between passes and wore a respirator


Got them to sit flush




Took about 20-30 mins per side, because i took my time and kept stopping to shopvac up the dust to prevent it from getting anywhere near the voice coils. Now I can put the box in and go deaf

 

what, you dont like breathing in particle board dust!?

 

Ugh, no. MDF dust is NASTY. After about 15 mins my throat was raw and dried out, I had to gargle water to feel even slightly better. Went to the breathing help after that, no point in having it if you don't use it

 

lol man i know.. doing that shit for circuit shitty was terrible, all of the boxes we used to order from MTX seemed to be like 1/4 too small.. you learned quick to put shit over our mouth/nose; else fall victim to hacking up a lung.

 

Psyche about my CEL being off for good...

 

Meh, it's not that bad... I don't wear any kind of breathing stuff when I'm building boxes... Ventilation is normally just an open garage door, so that helps. I just get MDF boogers for like a week after.

Also, what amp for those subs?

 

Hifonics Brutus 1500 W Class D

 

Weaksauce... I think I'm heading to the Maxxonics headquarters in a week and a half. They're having a huge car audio show up there + big time factory sales... Maybe I'll be able to afford a nice new amp for my new build... The build that keeps changing shape every couple days/weeks. I just need to get some money together and get a couple subs and a nice big amp, and go crazy. I can't decide if I want to do a 4th order, clamshell or IB setup... These decisions are the worst...

 

just about done with the LED swap...(except tail lights...wont be doing those)

 

Found rust under the paint on my passenger side fender Stupid repaint this car had at one point from being in a fender bender Its not bad, but still....not what I want to deal with

 

So it's on to my 4th aftermarket suspension setup, tonight I will be installing my new suspension setup and removing my D2's which were sold to another member on here, this is it, 4th one's a charm I swear

 

wait what do u have now

 

He's bagged.

 

I wish... that would be the only suspension setup that would replace what I'm installing now, which is the suspension that I've wanted for years, and even tried to immitate with my D2's
