Finally got pics of mr car & Stealth sub enclosure

HI all......i have had my car for a while now but finally got some pics of it. Tell us what ya reckon, other then it needs new mags/tryes, front spoiler, tinted windows.

She is a 1980 SA with a 13B low km import engine and S4 5 Speed Turbo gearbox, a/c, extractors, lightened flywheel, heavy duty/racing clutch.

ATM i my list of things to do to her include alarms sys (she aint insured), new diff (badly worn and chudders), mags & tryes (look crap and are really hard tyres, no good for traction), front spoiler. When i have some spare money maybe a Weber, window tinting, suspension.

Here are the pics

****Hijacking your thread for a moment****

By the Way (including the Audio Guys out there),

Do 6x9's sound okay in those little MDF enclosures?
Or even 8's?

My experience (many years ago) with those speaker boxes was that they made it sound like a small boom box rather than a stereo system

But then again, I never put any real power down to them.

looks good...

I don't think it would sound like a small boom box if those speakers are crossovered correctly. He's got subs to complement the sound of the 6x9s. The 6x9 can be used as midwoofers or midranges and if cutting some of the bass sound should be clean and strong.

I'm from the old school of audio sound and I think more power up front with some nice 6 1/2 speakers in the front kick panels (custom made) should do the trick...just 3 speakers two 6 1/2 upfront and one sub that goes deep. That's how I had my old rx7 setup...two KEF 6 1/2 one eclipse 10" and all powered by one strong rockford amp. Clean yet loud.

Very Nice ! I like the look without the side mouldings, I was happy when I pulled mined off. Got and pics from the rear ? I'd like to see some more of that kit. How was the swap to 13B power? I can't decide if I want to do it or remain loyal to my trusty 12A. Keep us updated on the progress.

EDIT: Are those leather seats in the back? Now I'm really freaking jealous !!!!

Black leather front and back seats, i just put sheepskin covers on the front cause the leather gets so sweating in summer. I bought the car with the engine in it, but have the receipt for $7000 aus for the motor, gearbox and install. I would have to drive a 12A to be able to compare the power but mine does need the carbi tuned.

It is actually a Volvo colour, Saffran Pearl. Quite rare and expensive (i found out when someone hit me, had to get the paint specially made up and sent in from the eastern states)

I will see if i can get some more photos

Nice car? I have a ?

I love the color, I was considering that color on my old car. Looks light I might do my rx7 the same. I like it!!!I have the same rear bumper. Is yours made by a company named AGENT? I have not seen another like it until yours right now. I have a right hand drive from japan over here in california. I need a new front bumper cause mine is cracked. Do they still offer these kits? anyone?

I don't have a clue who made it sorry, I found it at a wreckors, picked it up cheap. I am still after a front spoiler too, all the ones at the wreckors are stuffed.
