Update to my Project

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone!!

Just an update to my previous post!!

Well it's been a long way coming! Car is finally 100% mine as of yesterday, as of Thursday it is at the votech, and next Thursday I'm going to Extreme PSI to talk to them about solutions.

However does anyone know of a place in NJ/PA/NY/MD/DE area that I can get a 5 speed AWD trans at a decent price and decent milage that isn't rusted? And I think I may scale back the project to reach a goal of 300+ HP instead of going for 350-400HP.

Also I know it is early and I am not going to buy these until the mantainence & modifications are done first, but I just found out yesterday I get a wicked discount on Pioneer & Infinity/JBL/Harman Kardon products so what are your opinons on products? I have listed several below however I am not a boom-boom person when it comes to radio but more of an audiophile and want a crisp, clean, high quality sound system so sub doesn't need to be powerful.

Headunit:
Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT Double DIN MSRP $1599 My price $980

AMP
KAPPA FIVE 5-Channel Class D Amp MSRP $599 My Price $301

Front Speakers
KAPPA60.9CS 6.5" 2-way Component System MSRP $279.99 My Price $141
or
KAPPA Perfect 6.1 6.5" Component System MSRP $475 My Price $226.60

Rear Speakers
KAPPA693.9I 6"x9" 3-way Loudspeaker MSRP $229 My Price $113
or
KAPPA680.9CS 6"x8" Component System MSRP $279 My Price $141

Front In-dash Speakers
(I've heard the speaker size being between 2"-4" so I listed two)
KAPPA10.9T 1" Edge-driven Tweeter MSRP $140 My Price $68
or
KAPPA32.9CF 3.5" 2-way Loudspeaker MSRP $120 My Price $55

Subwoofer
(I am debating a preloaded enclosure or making my own in the spare tire well)
REF1220SE Single 12" Preloaded Enclosure MSRP $279 My Price $165
or
REF1220DE Dual 12" Preloaded Enclosure MSRP $475 My Price $264
or
KAPPA100.9W 10" High Performance Sub MSRP $229 My Price $112
or
KAPPA Perfect 10DVQ 10" Die-Cast Sub MSRP $269 My Price $144


Let me know what you think and if its a good ideal to get rid of the spare or possibly just drop it lower than stock with new brackets welded to accomodate the sub. I am thinking about screwing the sub to the bottom of the particle board for the spare compartment and covering it with metal on top so I can still use the trunk area.


Thanks again!!!

Started on my list of mods so tell me what you think:

Apexi N1 Catback and Downpipe
Magnus 2G Intake Manifold
VRSF 2G Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Tokico HP Suspension Kit
Injen IS Series Intake w/ BOV Recirculation

Still waiting for the turbo choice until I go to Extreme PSI
