Suspension/Wheels/Brakes:- Eibach front coilover strut towers with some kind of cheap spring I found at autozone and bilstien rear shocks. Combined with a forward strut tower brace and rear shock mount brace filling the gap with an adjustable forward anti-sway bar.\
...and my smalltime 1.8" lowering kit.
Interior:- Black leather with white leather trimmed seats. White carpet from front to back. New Eurospeed white guages that display the same flourescent white face and ocean blue lettering at night.
I started playing around a bit with Do-it-yourself fiberglass kits and plaster of paris(for the molds) and created a custom console assembly to make the areas around the shifter and e-brake more sloped and rounded with a sharp edge in areas to resemble the shape of the car.
I tried my hand in custom upholstery
- but kept messing it up. So I Had the Interior door panels remade in black and white vinyl
- as well as having black and white vinyl inserts made for the backseats arm rests alcoves... all by a professional this time.
Exterior:- New Harley Davidson ChromedBlack paint job with a blurred chrome gradiant behind the forward wheel wells leading very shortly back the fender onto the door at a downward slope trailing off just below the mirror.
Konig 17" rims with z-rated Kumho tires.
Z24 appearance package bought from 3 cars totalled in a junkyard and assebled over a lenghty time period.
Audio:- Two 10" Rockford Fosgate Power HX2's enclosed in a Q-Logic dual bandpass box
- powered by a Rockford Fosgate db1500 mono class d amp with remote amp control.
1-farad digital capacitor.
The deck is beauty... a Pioneer Premier DEH-P9400MP competition with everything a person needs to make grandma wet the bed(everything is cusomisable).
Infinity 3.5" Front Mids
Kenwood 1" tweets mounted in custom guage pods low on the a-pillars.
And believe it or not... the stock 6x9's in the rear deck. I hate to say it
- but after 15 years they still sound better than most of the @!#$ I've bought aftermarket.
And probably one of the most jerry-rigged wiring harnesses you've ever seen in your life.
...but you'll only notice it if you look closely in the trunk. :P
Miscellaneous:- Well
- since I'm in the local Fire Department... I needed emergency lights.
I've got a custom built switch panel array in the custom console armrest with saftey switches for my three sets of lights.
I've got a 9"Wx2"H Red/Clear combo LED dash mounted primary light from Tomar
Two small strobe lights installed in the grille about 2 feet apart working on a triple flash pattern(red/white combination also) and a wig-wag switch wired to the headlamps.
Future:- To remove most of this stuff and put it in my new vehicle
- then sell this old ass ride.
