The
Avant at Hot Import Nights in San Mateo. The Carbon
Fiber hood looks pretty cool without being clear coated
yet. Plus the Blitz Rims, which are for sale, dont look
too bad on the car..
Email
me if you want to buy the rims. You'll need to put
smaller tires on the rear rims so they clear the inner
arm. Blitz Technospeed - 18x8 in the front, 18x9 in
the rear.

The
rear sub enclosure is made of fiberglass and was painted
to match the body color.

be like this.

The
trunk with the box.. looks small, but we tested it,
and it actually hits harder then my 3 phoenix gold 10's.
the cover that goes over this is really cool.. we're
still deciding on covering it with carbon fiber, to
match the hood, or with paint.. (ie. the alpine M3)

NEW!
We're actually using all MB Quart Mids and Highs and
adding a center channel using the Pioneer 5.1 surround
sound system. I also just finished putting in the PS2
inside the center armrest. It fits! It's just a little
bigger but im sure it wont be too noticable when the
armrest is up. Plus it'll be more ergonomic for the
third passenger.. Check out the latest photos.

Brad,
of Audiomotions informed me that they decided to use
all MB Quart mids and highs. Since they are one of the
best, I said, lets roll with it. So, 4 crossovers were
put in yesterday along with MB Quart mids and highs.
Ill confirm which series we used and post it.

The
next phase of this ongoing process is the stereo upgrade..
I thought the stock radio was "pretty cool"
and "just fine" until I saw the Pioneer AVX-P7300
DVD [Head Unit] and was amazed at the sound and visual
quality it produces.
Much
thanks goes out to AudioMotions in San Bruno California
for "hooking" my car up.. They're also installing
the turbo timer. If you want any stereo stuff in your
car, call them up and ask for Brad, the owner.. he's
cool..

Here's
a shot of the monitors in the head rest. They arent
set yet.. but they look pretty cool in there.. The first
plan was to put them behind the back of the seat but
sitting with your head down hurts..
You see the big hole in the back of the seat? Thats
where the PS2 was.. we're still deciding where we are
going to permanently put it...

A
view of the empty trunk.. I wanted the box eliminated
cause I was tired of moving it sideways to load stuff
in it.. So we came up with a couple of solutions..
1.
Put the speakers in the wheelwell and eliminate the
spare tire. or..
2. Design something that looks stock but isnt..
Solution:
We chose 2 cause nobody wants to get stuck anywhere..
We decided to use the left side of the trunk area and
instead of using the 3 10" phoenix gold speakers,
I chose to change all the speakers out and put just
1 12" JL sub back there..
I
was told that the original bose speakers ran on 2 ohms
and we needed everthing to run on 4. So I changed all
the mini speakers and door as well..

Another
shot of the trunk. See that Phoenix Gold amp? Well,
its now for sale.. $300 bucks or cheaper.. It's 400
watts and works well with the 3 10's Phoenix Gold subs
that are also for sale for $200 bucks or cheaper.
Email
me if you want them..
