Its almost been a month and a half and stereo is almost done. By the end of the weekend it should be done. Hitting hard. I will have that answer everyone wants to know. Does the storage bins make a good location for subs.

Lookin good man.

A word of advice: Dont use Royal Purple oil in your car.

The rotary engines inject oil into the chambers to lube everything up in there, however, this requries that fresh oil is always provided, old oil is burned off.

Synthetic oil doesnt burn like regular oils do. Thus you get buildups in your engine. This is bad.

Thats my understanding anyways.

I use Castrol GTX 20w-50 during summer use, and 10w-30 during winter.

Looking forward to seeing pics of it all installed and finished!

Yeah, I was thinking about not doing the Royal Puple. I'm going to use there gear oil no matter what. Thanks for the insight. By the way. She will never see the sight of snow again, so I don't have to worry about the ifferent vescosities(SP?)

Yes, that's correct - it doesn't... it burns cleaner!!
I in no way intend to start another "what kind of oil do I use in my rotory" thread - there are already dozens on this forum - do a search and be prepared for a long read. BTW, Racing Beat recommends Royal Purple and I understand they know a thing or two about these cars.

Oh yea - nice job on the sound system

The way you've done it with the glass'd boxes makes the bins a very good choice...it was simply not being sealed because most won't go through the trouble you did, that makes the bins a poor choice.

Really nice work...
