Were your alignment screws seized? Mine seem to be rather difficult to remove at the moment, and i'm wondering if you have any pointers you'd like to pass along.

Yep, he's a chocolate lab. He will gladly pose for more pictures, I'll let him know he has a fan. :) |
i waiting to see what that interior looks like after you drenched it, installed pics yet?
|
I noticed on your right side hatch strut, the light cover came off. Same on my RED 87 TII :D We have the same car.
I may need to give my gray interior a nice soapy soak like you did too. |

I know I see it there on the "floor". I glued mine back on. I hope I don't need to change the bulb!

Lets see the intercooler and shit!
I'm curious if it's the 'new' setup. I've never seen it before. |

imho, a rising rate regulator is a dissaster waiting to happen. |

Well, I can always ditch it. What do you guys recommend as a "proper way to deliver fuel"? Let me know, I'll go get it.
i would think a proper stand alone and bigger injectors with a better fuel pump would more than suffice for anything. plus you dont run the risc of destroying your injectors. |

In the meantime, here's an update of progress: The entire interior is out. Everything has been cleaned, vacuumed, shampooed, etc. I swapped in a functional, non-rusted sunroof, so that's handled. I put down an assload of sound deadening, just the basic stuff you get at Home Depot for $125 a roll. Started on the subwoofer enclosure. Here's some pics: I put down the sound deadening material where the bins used to be, then put down aluminum foil over it, followed by painters tape, so that the fiberglass bottom of the enclosure will be able to be pulled out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5270001.jpg Then I sprayed the tape with spray adhesive and put the mat down. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5270002.jpg I put resin on the mat, then put a piece of fiberglass cloth over it, covered it with resin again, let it dry, then did another layer of mat and another layer of cloth. Probably overkill, but I had the material, so it was no big thing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5270003.jpg And here it is drying. I'm going to let it cure overnight, yank it in the morning, trim the edges, and start building the top half of the enclosure. It will be MDF, most likely. Each side of the enclosure will be 1.5 cu ft, and house a 12" Fosgate sub firing directly into the seat backs. Should be a nice massage if nothing else. :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5270004.jpg |
That is P-I-M-P :D
|
I checked the enclosure, it was dry enough to pull it out now. So, I yanked it, and uncovered the bottom to let it fully dry through. Once it's fully dry, I'm going to cover the bottom in the sound deadening stuff, too.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/$100T2/3.jpg And since Mayhem has a fan, here's a pic. He turns 6 tomorrow, he is getting homemade peanut butter biscuits for his party. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5270005.jpg |
Here's todays progress:
I trimmed the edges of the bottom of the enclosure. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5280001.jpg Then, I decided that I wanted to recess mount the subs, so I cut two pieces of MDF. I cut out an opening in the larger piece, then glued the smaller piece to it with liquid nails. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5280002.jpg I made a brace to mount it to the base of the enclosure out of MDF, too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5280003.jpg Once I mounted the front piece to it, I removed the bridge between the two uprights of the brace. I decided to just wrap the whole thing with fleece, and spray glued the fleece to the bottom of the enclosure. I got it as smooth as I felt like getting it, knowing that I will sand and bondo it once it's done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/P5280004.jpg So, that's that thus far. I'm applying resin in stages, so right now is lunch break. After it dries on the front, I'll flip it and apply the resin to the back. Hopefully I will be able to test the enclosure tonight, but if not, that's ok. |

A couple of hints for your enclosure since you PM'd for help. Do not use spray clue as it will come loose when the resin is applied as it eats it. You can stretch it tight and use hot glue or CA glue (fast dry catalist spray for instant cure) Then soak it in resin (cut the bristles to about an inch in legnth as it will help you push it in. Allow it to dry and cut you sub holes to do the inside. Now sand the outside to make it a little smoother and you can either fiberglass from the inside (PIA but neater appearence outside or fiberglass from the outside) You will need at least 6 layers of mat for a strong enclosure. I do around 5 layers on the outside and then do a mixture of fiberglass resin and a silica additive to make a thick past and coat the inside of the box.
Hope this helps. John |
PS, if you realy get stumped on this, maybe we can set up a time for you to come down to CT and we can hammer this out in a day. My friend Sean from Jersey would love to come up, mabe make a mini meet/teach out of it.

Looks really good, keep us updated!

however, you might want to run a paralell fuel setup. thats just my $0.02 |
damn. nice find. im about to get an fC too for 500, but not as nice as yours
