have you seen this red 97 5spd with the original black/tan interior in ft worth? i would have bought this one otherwise. super rare sc!

installed all the little maintenance items
tinted the car with Huper Optik Drei 35% - expensive, but worth the price to save me from the houston heat
installed Xenon Depot's 4300k Xtreme kit with Philips bulbs

ripped out some of the interior this past weekend and sound deadened the trunk and rear seat area. also removed the rear firewall and rear deck speakers. took out the alpine w505 from my blue sc and im going to be running the wiring throughout the gold one this week for the audio system. i sold the focal amps in favor of a single amp - an old school diamond d7104. it will be giving 225wrms@2ohm@12v to each component speaker, roughly 300wrms @ 14v. and it will be giving 450wrms@4ohm@12v to the r12 subwoofer, roughly 500-550wrms @ 14v. i should be done installing everything by the weekend. after that, its off to the speaker shop to get a 1cuft fiberglass box built, an amp rack built, and the viper alarm installed. the sub will go on the right side of the trunk where the cd changer/amp were.

i bought some other goodies for it, but sold them all. i decided i just want it to be a comfy daily driver and thats it.

im not sure why, but sound deadening always comes out looking like ***. still needs some work, but this will all be covered with secondskin's luxury liiner after its done.




havent driven her that much


monster 0 awg for battery to trunk


made a little mess lol


monster cable terminals.. still need to upgrade the wiring with monster crimpless rings


super tiny waterproof ballasts


the gear - diamond d7104, focal 165kr2, diyma reference 12, monster 4awg for amp power & ground, monster crimpless rings, monster 6ch rca's (in case i want to add rear fill later on)



this monster weighs almost 40lbs

Isotta Hydrus crystal handbrake

I bought it so I could have an a to b car and it will remain that way, though I was thinking about modding it a few weeks ago. Those thoughts have passed. The audio stuff is just to make my commutes more enjoyable.
