I love the stereo install, that car is the inspiration for how I plan to install any subs and amps I might get. I heart woodworking, it be a fun time indeed

[isaac]

You should list "has been driven by Isaac" as a mod.

[SquareD]

That's worth about as much hp as a ricer sticker. Looking good Doug. I'd put up a project thread for my 744, but it'd just say "pending" for like 17 years....

[Neil Peart]

I dont know why you torture me.




man, im really getting annoyed driving around a beatup 242..class and leather T5-R make more sense, and with those mods, corvettes are pish posh..

I still dont see how you can grow out of a done up 242..another enigma of Doug.

[Tenacious Todd]

Lookin good Doug. ;-)

[@5sn6s]

You should list "has been driven by Isaac" as a mod.
or is that "survived being driven by Isaac" :-P :-P

Nice smile. You should paint over the Porsche logo on the front calipers. Just doesn't seem right haha. I'm interested in those CRX projectors. How did you do that?

Paint over porsche 993TT calipers? :roll: :rofl:

[growley]

What's wrong with that? I wouldn't want it to say Porsche on my Volvo, even if the calipers did come from a nice porsche and they are better brakes.

I think I actually had them backwards to start with. I guess that means their flexable right? LOL

Nope and nope. I'd run a header if we didn't live in CA and Im just going to do some cleanup work on the manifold. For my HP goals the S60R manifold should do fine. It does drastically outflow the OEM 850 manifold though.

[740TurboPerformance]

man nice work, really sweet . . . .

Please tell me that's not a cheap Costco "Kirkland Signature" Battery I think I saw in such a sweet looking engine compartment!

came with the car, finally died ages ago. :rofl:

[740TurboPerformance]

hahahaha, oh ok . . . .

Actually my poor 960 had some crappy "Costco" tires on the rear when I bought it. First thing I did was have some Conti Pro-Contacts installed since I couldn't even fathom rollin' on Costco "Kirkland Signature" Tires.
