Alright, I've been slacking with the updates, so here's a few all at once
First I received and installed my FI headers and holy hell was it a PITA. Finally got it all done and everything, and they sound amazing. Here's a quick clip I made, I'm still gonna take the car out one day and do drive by's and take off's and stuff.
After installing the headers I took it to White's Import Automotive for an Uprev tune. I won't be going back to him, he knows cars and stuff, but when it comes to tuning he was really conservative, he kept saying that the stock tune was the best and he shouldn't be messing with it. So he didn't really do all that much for me, I dyno'd the baseline at 299hp and 245tq. He spent about 35-40 minutes tuning and I ended up making 308hp/256tq. Part of the reason for the low numbers was that it was 100.1 degrees in the tuning bay. Anyway, here's a quick vid of that...
After that I got some GTmat sound deadening material, and installed it in my hatch. It cut out about 4-5 db on average. I'm pretty happy with it so far and when I have some more spending money I will be ordering some more.
For the next thing I don't have any pics to show you. I have been coming home from work and (if it wasn't raining from Isaac) going straight to work on the speakers I got from NYBladez. He bought a set of Alpine components
that you can see here and then sold his Z before he could install them. So instead of paying $300 for the speakers and another $25 for the adapters, he sold me everything for $135 shipped. Brand new in an unopened box. I got them installed the other night, the tweeters were a PITA because of that stupid door molex thing, it was hard to snake the wires through it. But I finally got it all done and they sound amazing, even with out an amp. 100x better than the stockers.
That's about all for now, I might not be modding for a little bit, I had some unexpected expenses come up and I had to put all my mod money that I had saved aside into the bank to pay for stuff
on the other hand, I just got some more materials in for headlight restoration which I've started doing on the side, and I have 4 people lined up so that will be a little extra cash, and I might have a side job coming up for some home renovation, so that will DEFINITELY be money in the pocket
until then, take care chaps!
