    New Stereo Build

    I much prefer a SQ setup over a DB. Great work. Exactly the type of audio build I like to see.

    Racing seat recommendations for street/strip

    I used some eBay seat brackets and modified them to fit. Kind of a pain in the butt, but it saved me $150 and lots of waiting.

    Lower it before you do anything else.

    opinions on andysautosport.com bodykits

    Use that $500 to lower your car or buy a set of wheels. Both will make your car look far more aggressive without the extreme regret that you will feel later for having purchased that body kit.

    AUDIO: 2 front component+1sub vs. 2 front component+2 rear coaxial+1sub

    This is where you're confused. There's really no such thing as too much power. Plus you'd only be combining the power of 2 channels to 1. Really the only drawback to bridging an amplifier is that it moves the thd spec one decimal point to the left, basically by a factor of ten, which you would...

    AUDIO: 2 front component+1sub vs. 2 front component+2 rear coaxial+1sub

    I'm confused why you're saying bridging 2 channels of a 4 channel amp would be a bad idea. It's the more cost effective option and could work perfectly depending on power ratings of the sub and amp. Yes you could still power the rear speakers from the head unit.

    AUDIO: 2 front component+1sub vs. 2 front component+2 rear coaxial+1sub

    I don't personally care for rear speakers. I generally want my soundstage to come from in front of me as far forward as possible. If you only wanted to run a single amp you could choose a 4 channel option and bridge channels 3&4 for the sub. The even better option might be to continue forward...

    98 eclipse 2" drop wanting new rims.... will they fit?

    A 225/xx tire is going to be very stretched on a 9" rim. I'm running a 245/40/18 on a 8.75" wide rim and its sidewall isn't straight up and down. It's also a +35 offset and fits but only after a roll.

    What rims are these?

    Look kinda like mustang cobra wheels. Speedo will only be off if the overall rolling diameter of the wheel/ tire combo is different from stock and............... http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/frequently-answered-dsm-questions/286685-will-these-wheels-tires-fit.html

    Rear Speakers louder than front?

    Incorrect. The doubling of volume occurs at 6db, while perceived doubling of volume by the human ear occurs at 10db. An additional 3db of volume does require a doubling of power, which is generally one "click" of volume on the car stereo. This is also considered to be the minimum volume...

    Hahahahaha aha. Super poke!

    XXR 502 18x9.5 +35 offset

    Go with the 7.5, run a bigger tire, and run some spacers to get the stance you're looking for.
  25. genegoesfast

    18x9.5 Would these fit a 97 GST?

    Its gonna poke quite a bit I believe. Check this out. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/frequently-answered-dsm-questions/286685-will-these-wheels-tires-fit.html

    What can I remove?

    Get a non cruise throttle cable, route it under the fuel rail. Relocate batter to the trunk. Get rid of the abs. Reroute vacuum lines.

    Taillight tinting

    I've done nightshades before and had it look incredible. The key is to wetsand before the clear. Also use high quality autmotive clear.

    Paint quote

    Thats a bit high. At wholesale you can get a gallon of clear and a gallon of base(color) for around $450-$500 for Dupont chroma.

    Check out the new wheels

    I think you would actually be fine without a spacer but it might be close. I just bought the cheap generic spacer at autozone for the rears and I believe they were 5/16".I agree on the chrome for the most part but they are what they are. I'm more of a flat black or bronze guy but I'm gonna...

    Check out the new wheels

    Thanks for all the comments guys! Chrome is surely not my thing either but these looked so great and the price was so amazing I just had to buy them. I think the reason they look a little darker is due to the inside of the wheel being painted black along with the back of the spokes. In regards...

    Bumper mod and shaved valve cover

    No, not really. I just went at it with an angle grinder, then a file, then a sander. I'm sure that if you had one, a belt sander would do the whole job.

    Hey guys. Sorry about the delay in responding. I used 3m plastic bumper repair along with several layers of backing scrim.
