I went to the upholstery shop and found another vinyl I think I will use this time. The color match better, but not the grain texture. The small piece on the left is the last stuff I used, the piece in the middle is my a-pillar. Here's the piece I cut off the door. The old stuff has the same texture as the car and gives that three tone look. If I don't like the lighter stuff when I am, done I will switch back.

Here's a picture of my new front stage. NOw thats a wicked front set-up. Hehe. Here's some comparision pictures of the Type-r 6 1/2" mid and the Aura 10"mid. the cone veiw..... the motor veiw...... A side veiw..... The Type-r is no slouch compared to most 6 1/2" drivers, but will never have the midbass of a 10". I am stoked.

I got the 10" holes cut in the doors. A had to move the electric window motor alittle. I also rearranged the wiring harness. The right door before removing the metal..... heres the drivers door.... Here is where the electric window motor is originally...... This is a picture with the motor moved up about an inch and a half. The top circle shows where the bolt use to be..... Heres the finished hole..... As always I am SUPER BUSY with life so I am always happy to get a little more done. I hope to test fit the Aura's today. THEY are going to be one tight fit, I can tell already.

Whats new?

This is the car I had posters of. I would still LOVE to own one.

EPIC FAIL TOP.

YOu honestly will be fine grounding any where on the engine, as long as its solid. Less than 18" is prefered, but once again not that important.

LOoks gOod brother.

I have been sitting on a saddle chair for a couple years now while I work, its nice on the lower back and hips, but hell on the taint.

I'd rather pedal than run, rollerblade, walk, or any other aerobic exercise I can think of. I am going to get in shape and I am going to enjoy it. After riding the exercise bike at the gym thats layed back makes me understand why people ride them gay looking recumbent bikes. It sure is easier on the back and joints and everything else, more than a conventional bike that is. I don't know that you will catch me riding a recumbent bike any time soon though. I am just glad I can start hiking again, there are so many awesome trails around here, and that shit is good cardio. I fucking hate jogging on pavement.

Danm dude, you kicked some as, and took some names!!! AND looked like you were having fun doing it. Hows it sound? Does it meet your expectations?

Yes you want the ground to the alt mount , but if not possible use the next closest point. YES the third link is from alt + to batt +, this wire lets the current flow directly to the battery with a path of least resistence. If you are leaving another factory ground somewhere ALSO, then use the 2ga there.

I bet someone's saddle sore today and walking funny. Haha. probably got a bruised prostate too. Haha. Atleast its my FRIDAY, whoop, whoop!

We really didn't do as well as expected but we did finish up the endurance race yesterday with a working car. Just found out the unofficial results are posted. 41st overall Mainly the competition objective of making a vehicle for the average weekend off road enthusiast is pretty much a lie. Some how teams with chromoly frame custom platics and carbon fiber panels can cost less on the cost report then a team with Carbon Steel DOM, and aluminum body panels. We didn't get any kind of points for being one of very few teams that passed tech inspection first try. Then they gave away an "attention to detail" award for teams that were always prepared, and had all there registration covered, etc... Something we always did and then they give the award to Cornell, a fancy team that didn't even pass tech the first time. Atleast it sounds like you had fun.

You should pre drill both pieces together, then glue, then install screws. As far as the corner rounding , either use a router or a sander.

Lookin' good Brother. Take your time and you will be happier with the end results. Patience always shows in the final product. Keep up the good work.

Good to hear all is well with Brother Chop. NOW hurry up and post some pictures already?

You will have best results with ONLY aluminum foil where the resin is going to be, or as little tape as posible. The resin will make the tape all gooey and hard to remove. ALSO keep your resin inside and warm until you are ready to use it. I found out IT cures better this way. Good luck.

Pretty awesome to watch. Makes me want to break out the RC's.

this will be head knockin'. LOTS of pics is a good way to start a build log, SO keep the pictures coming'.

You can NEVER have to many grounds. As far as voltage meter if you like having one glaring at you at all times the Stinger one is cool, of wise I just have on I stick in the cig lighter when I want to check my voltage. Do work Son.

Sweet score! are you going to mount it somewhere you can see it? That would be cool. As far as your adding a second batt for your highs, you will want the second batt as close to the amp as possible, like 18" or less. Any time you add a battery you are making your alternator work harder, SO make sure to watch your voltage when you first hook it up. IF this is a frame and body vehichle you will want to ground the second batt to the floor and ALSO put a short wire under the body hooked to the same bolt and the frame. SO sandwich the body with the ground bolt, make sense? Your big3 should ALSO include a forth wire grounded to the frame from the engine block/alternator mount. Keep up the good work.

I do have to agree with sir lancelot, just use music CDs you are familiar with. Set the gain low and listen for a day or two, turn it up alittle if you think it can handle it, listen for a day or two, repeat until they start to sound like shit and then turn it down just a hair. Your ear is the best tool in your arsonal. It usauly takes me a week or two of listening .
