Hopefully, Chris. Hopefully. It'll just be a matter of putting in the time/effort to get it done. I hope to have it up and playing by our next audio comp on January 2nd, but we'll see. I doubt I'll have money for an amp by then, but I may be able to borrow a teammates. And those same teammates are needing lots of help with their builds. We're rebuilding 6 of our team vehicles right about now, so lots of work getting done. I may be able to snag some pics of everyone's builds and put them up, but we'll see.

Also, build log link in sig, so comments about this can now go there.

They're nice little guys. I'll try to make sure I get some pics of the temporary comp setup. Let's just say, it's going to be interesting...

Woofers went in last week for a couple weeks of audio competition. In January I picked up a 79 Fiat 124 Spider. That's going to be more or less a summer car for me. It's in pretty rough shape (needs floorboards, seats, winshield, paint/body), but hopefully I can have it up, running, and looking good this summer. I'll try to get some pics up of it so you guys can see.

Spring is upon us...

cyphon21

Didn't seem like it up here. We got rain/hail mix. Wasn't too bad cause it was sloshy, but still sucks haha.

We had like 50* last week, sunroof was open and it was so much easier replacing that starter haha.

Im doing some small repairs on my car to get it to a good reliability before any mods are done. I just did a new starter, full exhaust, new ball joints up front. Now I am looking for new struts and springs all around haha... need to find a good deal. Im sure they will be fun to do.

That it is. Car Audio World Finals was last weekend. I won a World Championship in my class, so now the Acura's pretty much on hold. The audio stuff is kinda getting shelved for awhile (not planning to compete again until June) and I'm picking up a welder next weekend. Cousin's fiance's parents were cleaning out their garage and I got a 220v 180A mig welder (gas or gasless) for $45 First project up will be getting the Fiat back up and running, then I'll figure out my next set of moves for that thing. Who knows, maybe the Acura will get some more lovin at some point

Well figured I'd post my new project even though it's not my cl. Just picked her up 95 Trans am has a 383 stroker putting about 450 at the wheels im searching for a used super charger gonna try to get her to around 600 hp. Does need some tlc and such but is gonna be a sick nasty bish when done.

South Jersey CL

sick. i love firebirds. my neighbor had a 98 formula back in the day and it was pretty sweet. nice pickup.

on1wheel01

Well the new project has been getting more work done I scored a set of honey comb tail lights from a newer ta



Also started wet sanding the body getting her ready for paint


And if the car wasnt fast enough I decided to add a little more, jus tryin to figure out how to hide the bottle I like looking stock on the interior. I also just finished rebuilding the headlight motors. So they work perfect now. More to come. I decided against the supercharger, figured spray would be easier and just use it on the strip.

Nice Bryan, I had a 2000 TA, man do I miss that car. Those things can be stupid quick and are light as hell

on1wheel01

Ok guys got a little more work done on her. Nitrous is pretty much installed just need to finish wiring in the control boxes and such.








Also should be painting her next week gong with high gloss black with blue pearl.

on1wheel01

More goodies and such


Started building a custom fit box (pain in the ass)

And installed a energy suspension tranny bracket as the hella torque from this beast kept ripping the stock style in 2 days

very nice, definitely wish you luck with the trunk build, there is no space in those trunks

on1wheel01

OK guys more updates on the car. I found a way to make the factory radio have a aux plug to hook up a mp3 player so I did that mod. Im thinking of starting to do it in other vehicles. It could be something big who knows.





Also I finally finished the nitrous wiring. It's pretty much ready to go. Just need to get colder plugs and fill my bottle.

South Jersey CL

coors light, crucial to the process.

Hey, I am new to the site and it thought I would share the pics of the work I am doing on my CL.

I am repairing the body first, the passenger side rear quarter was rotted. So after looking for a rear quarter piece from the junkyards I found a front drivers side fender to use for the repair,the arch was the same so I got it to use for the repair. It looks like I cant post pictures yet

timeizmoney22

Hey man! It's Danny. If you have a flick'r account you can post the pics on that and share the link. Text me some of the pics if you can. I'm interested to see how it's working out for you. Thanks!

Holy crap, I wish I could wire tuck your engine bay lol. Some mil spec wiring and AN fittings would clean that thing right up! Still looks like its coming along great though


On another note, I got the final bill for my longblock. It cost almost as much as what I paid for my M3!

did an interior cleaning recently. took a can of tuff stuff to the interior carpets (except the mats). there were a few stains on the carpets that the tuff stuff took out beautifully. shampooed the carpets and the mats, tuff stuff'd the trunk, took out the center console and cleaned under it, and i must say, the car looks brand new inside.
