Geez, when I put it all in my AE it was one step at a time, now I am trying throw everything in at once.



Got my dash pieces and tinted the windows while the door panels are off (which sucked in the wind).



Got my tail lights a couple of days ago, they were in beautiful shape, but one got chipped in shipping :(



I'll snap some pics this weekend.

Oh and I rebuilt the wiper switch.

Mike got me a lot of parts! LOL I can thank him for the fact that there will be no water on the passenger seat today!

Baldy 03-17-2005 10:31 AM

so what is it exactly that you're doing?

phinsup 03-17-2005 10:37 AM

Well, the last couple days I have been sick so haven't done as much as I would like.

I am doing the carpet, fixed the broken dash pieces, wiper relay, tint the windows, grounding kit, rotors, pads, lines and bleeeders, s5 mouldings and side skirts, then I am going to have it repainted. Stereo I took my stuff from the AE, kappa's all around, 12 inch comp sub, amps, sony deck, 10 disk changer and XM Radio.





Oh and I am toying with the thought of nitrous https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...

It's not terrible, there are a number of door dings and a hail storm hit the hood. The hood is pretty chipped up from rocks and what not.

obviously i meant locations in the car.

phinsup 03-17-2005 01:21 PM

Well believe it or not, one of the amps and the changer came out of my 89 vert LOL



I'll mount the amps and XM reciever under the rear cover and the changer in the trunk with the sub.



I put the kappa in the door and waiting on the dash speakers to arrive and I am scrapping the seat speakers.

Shane.Trammell 03-17-2005 01:29 PM

do those kappas fit right into the door and are they good for low freqs?

I love the kappa's, as long as you get the right size they fit in the door LOL I think they are 6 inch.

Shane.Trammell 03-17-2005 01:38 PM

so they do well for lows without a sub? my vert speakers are not in great shape and i need some good speakers that are good with the low freqs bc they pretty much function as a the sub for the system

phinsup 03-17-2005 01:39 PM

I love the kappa's butno 6 inch speaker is going to replace a sub.
