Thx pplz, yeah a wideband is definetly in the future asap. Going to have to wait a bit longer because my clutch is starting to slip:l

Working on 6.5 door enclosures. This is my third time attempting this in the 5 years I've owned the car. Every time I tried it before I had fitament issues. This time I've decided I need to cut out some of the door pannel to make it worth it.
Here are some pics of the progress.

Test fitting, seems to fit okay. I might need to trim a bit on the top corner so the window switch sits flush but the door pannel goes on perfectly. Btw don't worry about water getting on the pannels, I put plastic back up.

Man I feel you on this one. How did you bolt those to your door panel the bolts appear completely hidden the photos?

 

[OfnaRcR4]

I didn't, they are just wedged in there pretty good.

Does the window hit that speaker pod when it's lowered? It looks pretty deep.

 

[OfnaRcR4]

Window doesn't hit it but its very close. Thats one of the things that sucks about these door pannels, you have like 5 inches to work with or you hit door pannel or window.

 

[MarkIII4Me]

Well in that case it looks pretty successful. I'd port those enclosures so your not sufficating your midbass with the lack of airspace tho.

 

[OfnaRcR4]

I was actually thinking if that would help or not.

Buddy of mine made a really high resolution video with my car in it. Just gotta show it off Starts at 1:00 http://vimeo.com/40051758

 

[OfnaRcR4]

Well guys, i think this might be it for this car.



Got rod knock (didn't check the oil often enough) and to see if i wanted to rebuild i did a compression test and well, you can see. Trying to decide what to do from here, might start looking for an is300.

 

[gsxr141]

paint looks real nice.

 

[OfnaRcR4]

Car left on a trailer today for $500. Sad day but the new owner has some good plans with it.

 

[Mob]

Hope to see it around, saw you had it listed. Shame about the rod knock

 

[OfnaRcR4]

It really is a shame, especially because it was caused by blown turbo seals and my lack of attention. oh well though gotta move on. Planning on boosting my IS300 next. Even have the bad idea of throwing the 7m in there because of the cost.

 

[Grandavi]

Nothing wrong with 7m... just do it right. (I love mine... lol)

 

[OfnaRcR4]

I loved mine too. Almost 100k mi on it and I was not too nice to it either.

 

[jseriesmkii]

I'll take good care of the car man
