So I got to installing a stereo in the car today. I got some more donated parts from friedns as well as a super cheap sony deck so now I can have some tunes while I drive around town.

Sony Deck not sure what model. It plays MP3's and CD's so I am happy ^_^


This is how the thiefs left the car stereo.. not bad I guess.


Didnt feel like soldering the wires so I jsut used soem cheap connectors and heat shrink stuff


heres the deck installed with dash kit


So just for fun I added up the total cost spent on the whole thing so far:

Car - $650
Battery - Free (Pulled from 510)
Exh Mani - Free (donated from bro's GSR)
Exh Mani gasket - $12
Mani to Cat gasket/ring - $20
Exh mani to car hardware - $35
Welding up hole in exhaust piping - $40
Wheels - Free (brought from home and a friend)
Wipers - $20
SI shiftknob - Free (donated from friend)
Map light bulbs - $2
Wire connectors and heat shrink tubing - $5
Sony deck - $20
Dash Kit - $18

Total spent so far = $822

 

i like this guy already

nice car.

(goto the basement-- we are always looking for fellow idiots to converse with)

 

thx... I think...

 

good to see someone join that knows what they are doing... very nice deal... although i must say that car could use a wash/claybar/polish/wax and possibly bondo up the *used to be* wing holes on the trunklid?

edit: but otherwise... WELCOME :cheers:

 

I couldnt agree with you more... but between my 2 jobs and school I am starting with the small things. Im just glad to have that horrible wing off the car. Its also still raining.. AND SNOWING here in NorCal so the wash clay and wax will ahve to wait ^_^

 

u want whats called a roloc disc....3M product...

 

Thx for clearing that up...

 

"LUCKY"

 

haha yea pretty much

 

Well today was a productive but sad day haha. I removed teh rear seats and trunk carpeting to find 1) I am missing the rear seatbelts, not the shoulder part but the shorter piece it clicks into. 2) There is a shitload of water getting in from somewhere. I took some pics of possible locations but I dont have time to post them, it will have to wait til after work.

On top of all that the clutch needs to be replaced and I am getting (what I think) is shitty gas mileage for a Honda/Acura Im at 100 miles so far on half a tank? Am I correct in assuming because there is no 02 sensor the car will use more fuel? I noticed that even tho the car isnt runnign a 02 sensor, the CEL isnt even on. I want to get this fixed so everything is to stock normal specs.
