and I won't have to worry about overheating if it wuz under the seat?

Enraged 08-19-2003 07:30 PM

ya, or slightly behind the passenger seat, provided you dont have passengers in teh back. or mount it in the hatch somewhere

as for that rad cleaner crap, walmart sells it, it says on the bottle how to use it. after you flush your system, make sure you put in some water wetter, it helps lubricate and keep the metals from deteriorating...

who wants an EGT gauge? US$260 is retail...

haha yeah man, do it yourself and learn... thats the best way

as for overheating under the seat, well i run a 360watt JBL Pro amp under my seat and have yet to have any problems, thats powering two 10" subs. so you shouldnt have any problems just for mids

g'luck

Enraged 08-19-2003 09:01 PM

my problem is finding a place to fit my amp... its too damn big... oh well, thats the next project as soon as i finish my nerdbox (which is now in version 2 since i scrapped the original)

Paradox 08-19-2003 10:04 PM

i just like having my amp under the seat for safety precautions, in order to get it out the seat has to be removed and even then its bolted into the floor really damn good.

even with a alarm, ive had stereo stuff stolen from me before

Fill me in! I've been wanting to build a car computer for years, I even had a 1u server case for a lil' while. I ended up selling it during first year college though - starving student, u know the drill.

_supras_ 08-20-2003 07:44 PM

hah, I saw some wiring in ur trunk when I walked up for lunch today, that's all..hah
Is there any places better then others to jack up my car?
Like wheres the best to put the jack?

Paradox 08-20-2003 08:01 PM

on the frame itself... ryan did a picture of where to put them properly, dont know where that went..

Enraged 08-20-2003 08:01 PM

on the frame rails, or on the diff in the rear....

wires have been in for awhile, im still unsure what the install is going to look like... i want to plan it all out before i make any cuts

do you have ICQ?

_supras_ 08-20-2003 10:37 PM

67488751
or Raistlan_LOD@hotmail.com..I'm on that most/
And ryan, show me where to jack this car up! lol or show the pic! Then I'll give u ur jack back, heh

Paradox 08-20-2003 10:46 PM

this is the best i can do. you can jack it up from the side there, theres a notch on the metal where its supposed to be jacked up, but that isnt generally the best spot. about a inch or two deeper into the center of the car you can see the frame, which is metal bars hanging down 1 or 2 inches below the rest... just remember to use jackstands or something else to hold the car up

what are you doing anyhow?

_supras_ 08-20-2003 11:39 PM

heh, those spots tho...push those metal "Slots" up and bend it to shit? lol

Paradox 08-20-2003 11:45 PM

they wont bend, not unless you jack up your car like 10x a week...
