Welcome to the forums! I want an older black NA. I've been lusting after them for quite some time now for a DD.

I really don't know much about it since I haven't driven it outside of the yard yet. It's killing me! Atleast it looks nice.

@RedTurbo
I'm always the young guy on the forums no matter what type. Most of the time I'm on Battlefield related forums. I've gotten used to it.

And about the car, I hope to make it more "my own" after next summer. Between buying the car, paying taxes and needing money for other things to get the car going (insurence, plates, ect.) I have almost no money left. Can't wait to get some more work so I can make the car the way I want it. Also I'd like to maybe get some track days. My local track has days for the public to come drive.

That price could get you another msm if you searched hard enough.

I used to do Spec Miata on GT5. No xbl though.

And the valve cover was done with a fine wire brush, then sanded and polished the lettering. It looks alot better in person.

I finally installed my stereo equipment. It's not done yet, I still have to clean up and put the wires where I want them. It's all hooked up and working however. As well one of the previous owners must have had an amp or two in the trunk so there are alot of extra wires I'll have to get rid of next weekend, which you will be able to see in the picture of the amp. It's all good for now though.

Alpine CDA-117


JVC KSAX4302 600watt amp


Pioneer TS-A6994R 600watt 5-way 6x9





This combination really is great, and I'm impressed how good the somewhat cheap JVC amp is. The sound is so clear and so loud. I just have to watch myself with the volume my ears are already in pain.


ps. I get my fulls in just ander 2 months, I'm so excited.

No that was just a quick picture.

I cleaned up all the wires and put the amp where it is staying and screwed it down today. It looks 10x better now.

haha, OK. Just making sure. You can't drive fast when your tunes are at risk of flying out of the car.
