But I think I am gonna be running new rims and airbags.......thinking Axis OG mesh in gold Gonna try to run 15 x 8" w/25 offset rear 15 x 7" w/35 offset front With 215/50/15 rear and 205/50/15 front..... Yes I know it is gonna rub a little till I get the bags on....but I can space the fender out like we do on the xBs and that should stop most the rub till bagged..... Gonna test fit soem tires and wheels the next few weeks and see how far it can really be pushed,if it dont rub it dont fit right...... |

Finally got some time to install foglights......I got them a long time ago on ebay.....wishing I had known Garm had a kit back then......took 4 long hours in the rain....no garage....
Headlights off/foglights on Headlights on/foglights on The relay or my brain in the kit was faulty.....most likely my brain....so I got a new relay from Autozone and changed the switch to one I had laying around and it turned right on.... Called the sub place and my box is still a week out on getting built so maybe 2 weeks till the thing arrives on my door......I really wanna get some bass in my car..... |

Well today was somewhat productive.......bought a set of H11 Yellow bulbs for the foglights,much better light output now.
But the days best buy was.......DLS UP6 componants for $125......normally they cost a bit more....but I got kinda lucky Can't wait to get them installed and tuned. |

Today on the way to the Tsunami Releif Charity Event at the Raceway I managed to get swallowed up in a pot hole on the freeway......it was so big the bottom of car drug on the ground....
Drivers front has massive bend,busted the steel belts in the tire....drivers rear slight flat spot and bend......but they held air till we got to the Event and I borrowed a spare tire from an xB and got them pulled off.... Pictures to come...... Good news is car is fine,I checked the suspension and found no damage,car tracks straight,steering wheel is straight so I will have to get it checked to make sure... Got the stockies back on and aired them up since they sat a year in the shed.... got a new set of wheels ordered tonight 15 x 8 25 offest for the rear with a 205 50 tire and a 15 x 7 35 offset for the front sith a 195 50 tire Oh yeah....Axis OG Mesh gold centers.....shold look really tight with the Blue Rays lugs Last edited by bzinn 1; 04-03-2011 at 10:33 PM. |

Ouch! I should post a pic of what my rim looked like after hitting a curb. Didn't mess up the tire or the alignment but took a huge chunk out of my wheel.

42 days after ordering the sub box finally came......I will get it installed Sunday I hope...
At least for temporary...I gotta go buy supplies and start the interior build I have to keep the rest of the weight I put in to the car at 114lbs or I go over the stock interior part weight I took out...I am pretty close now with harness bar....sub and box...amp...wires...deadening.... I am certainly gonna try to keep it under....no spare tire but I can get towing and can always call somebody to bring me one off their xB.... |

I will get pictures up tomorrow with daylight......yesturday got sub box bolted in and aimed where I think it iwll work well.....
Tonight got sub hooked to box,bolted in,and hooked to amp...... It was too late to run test tones so I did a best guess at crossover points on amp and fired it up with about 500w..... It is really nice and clean and loud,once it breaks in I will turn up the power a bit,plus I gotta tune the amp that will take me a good hour to do since it is hard to get at amp knobs. I really need to work on gettign more deadening in the hatch and roof....it had a bunch of rattles to chase....lol.... Sub builds pressure pretty good,will do much better when all panels are back in car and it is sealed up really good inside. WEll pictures tomorrow...sorry it took so long to get to this but the rain just wont stop here.... |

Oh no....interior will still probably be in pieces,but system will be in and working,it is as of yesturday....
I took it out yesturday and went for a cruise....and well with just a basic tune,xovers set to about 80hz on amp and deck.....sub at about 600w to break in......comps at 65w each...... Well lets just say it sounds beautiful,tones are crisp from the comps,and I meen so crisp that my buddy riding shotgun thought in one part of a song I was talking to him,turns out it was a part recorded in the track that he although listening to the song for years had never heard in the track. Sub.......OMG......excursion is sick...it moves like a kangaroo on crack.....deep clean bass lows,sharp hits,the box is tuned to the sub so it has proper back spacing and airspace to allow full motor movement. Sealed box and honestly I would be afraid to put it in a ported box......it would hurt bad,it does now in a sealed box..... If you heard my tC....well this is louder.....stupid louder,the sub volume increases with every volume change.....it has a lot to get broke in but once it does it will be even louder.... As for rattles........once again I seem to have done a pretty good job...only one front to back we found was the rear plate frame.....body panels flex quite a bit.....pressure in car is not too over bearing,but it is there.....had AC on full blast and the sub was pusshing the air in the car back forward just as easily as the AC pushed it out the dash. voltage,no issues even on the hits.....never went below 13.6v....on stock battery....hwo would of guessed....new battery is gonna be needed I am sure.... Sound out side of car.......almost none....just like tC....but sub does not like hatch open,it get moving too far out and I heard motor slap once or twice so shut hatch and it stopped,my guess is it need the pressure from bouncing off the hatch..... Components.....they are keeping right up,who would of guessed...DLS is a very nice speaker....lol All in all I think a years worth of research,some luck,and a lot of work I have a very nice basic system....still got a lot of tuning.....it is all built around driver and passenger positioning,windows up,hatch closed and earplugs in..... also I should say.......all that is at 50% power,I am afraid to turn up to 75% to totally tune it in till it is broken in......lol....I took it up to 25 on the volume,75% for my deck is like 28 for a burp and it hurt my ears.....I doubt there is any need to go past 50% as the car is so small inside it would not be fun....well it would but you know. Now to start the pods for the doors and Apillar tweets..... |
