i like the paint job looks good. how far along are you with your klze rebuild, and what was the condition of your pistons when you pulled your engine apart?
i am doing the same thing atm in my mechanics course. all i need is the timing and the water pump and my rebuild is complete.
where did you get the clear turning lights?
i apologize for all the questions in one post haha:P

haha its all good!

The pistons dont look bad, alot of carbon deposits but no signs of melting or pitting. I plan on getting forged pistons anyways, just to be safe. I would hate to melt a piston!
I'm not that far along with the rebuild.. Im at the point where i need to start spending a lot of money and i just cant right now.

I got my clear turning signals from egay


And nope. trunks are for sissies lol

How do those 6.5" kicker compVT's sound? I didn't even know they made them that small. I'm curious about the quality and how low and undistorted they can actually hit.

Personally i think they sound really good, the mid bass pioneer premier speakers do not compare to the kicker 6.5s.
I can put much more power and bass to them with out them farting and popping. I just had to make a spacer so the magnet wouldnt hit window as it came down. But by doing that it stopped me from reinstalling my speaker grill, so a custom one is required

WHAT!!!! :shock: Screw aftermarket, where can you find a car as nice that's so cheap to mod. Seriously, these cars turn heads all the time. My GF call mine a 'Babe Magnet'. I remember a time when I was the baby magnet, :cry:
