  1. yea i no, i agree with that completely, i hate being able to see after market speakers haha, but its what the customer wanted, so i did it.
  2. hey thanks a lot. it was only my second time ever actually cutting holes and adding speakers,its usually just replace them. but it was a good experience, i think in the summer i will get into some fiber glassing.
  3. they are far form what you guys generally do with fiberglass and stuff but i think they turned out really nice and the customer was super happy with them. what do you guys think? 5 inch hole saw for the holes we needed to use a 1 inch spacer foe the speakers to fit because they way the door was and the window motor was in the way. the speakers are alpine type Rs but he didnt like the grills that came with them and hes got a 10 yr old and didnt want him poking at the speakers so i had these infinity grilles laying around that i used instead we also did tweeters right above the 6 1/2s. didnt take pics of the 2 1/2in hole but im sure you all no what that would look like... so leave some comments, good, bad, or BS. i dont care. let me know what you think
  4. you no what would be cool would be if Steve did an intern program, where you stayed in a hotel for a month by him and went to his shop everyday with him and just helped out and learned, and not get paid for it but its experience... haha
  5. seems to be a problem with their scanners. if one did one thing and the other did another thing.... go to autozone and have them use theres and see if it does the same thing...
  6. hey, welcome. yea, in your intro, put your ride, whats in it, and some pics... i live just outside chicago...
  7. ill just buy the car from you so you dont have to worry about it at all haha, not but really cant you just take the sticker off?
  8. also do you think 2 8 in would be louder then 2 10 in polk audio subs?
  9. what do you have for a mount dept on your 8 and 10 in subs? i cant seem to find specs on them.
  10. your fuel pressure should probably be something around 30psi. if you can tell if thats about what you had or not, you really need a gauge to tell. but you can try to replace it and just see what happens. but like someone else said i think check your fuel filter and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ONE ALSO!!
  11. you can also check it. autozone rents out tools for free so i would see if they have a fuel pressure gauge for your car and see the pressure. or you can get a fuel line off and stick it into a plastic water bottle and see how much flows out when you crank the engine lol but i do not suggest doing this if your not confident n yourself and if you do have a fire extinguisher very close by like in your hand when you do this...
  12. ok yes it could be the fuel pump. and if the part number is the same then yes you can use the other pump, but fuel pumps generally are not to expensive and in my opinion i would never use a used fuel pump... its a wear item. buy a new one...
  13. systems put a huge strain on your whole car... wiring, connections, charging, electrical system. everything. dont be surprised when shit goes bad.
  14. no, the cat just lowers the emissions coming out the tail pipe, had nothing to do with gas mileage or performance. now if you have an egr system, the valve can be stuck, which could give you a little lower gas mileage but shouldnt be that big of a difference. plus... its a 1993, it has obdI which means the emissions standards are not the same and the check engine light may not come on with certain things we would see on obdII cars
  15. suggestion, get rid of it. but didnt we just go over this with this car in another thread last week? anyways, so spark plugs and wires a new coil and distributor. maybe a fresh injector cleaning...
  16. hey i cant sy i no what your going threw but about 5 years ago my dad broke his bad, he was extremely lucky that he was not paralyzed but we was in a clam shell for about 6 months and constantly needed help. we have always been close so it was easy for me to stay on track and help him. but my suggestion, bc i was 16 at the time, show him that you need him. tell him that you need him. to be honest you have to show him that you are not the man of the house right now and he is. to be honest that was the biggest thing for me was to see my dad in that condition and my family needed me. i new that i was the one that needed to take responsibility and be the man. for your son if being in a gang and messing around is his way of being a "man" you should show him that the only way he will be a man is by helping out. you need to tell him and show him that... im really sorry to hear about your accident, i hope the best for you and your family. good luck..
  17. there are so many things that this could be. and from here all we can do is have you look and check things. if you are willing to put in the work i will keep an eye on this thread and try to help you. but you can not expect an answer. i will help you diagnose it but thats all i can do without the car. 1.so first off do what was already told to you. spray starting fluid on vacuum lines, and around the intake manifold. 2.check your air filter!!!... 3.if you have tools available to you, you might want to take a look at your fuel pressure (see if your fuel pump went bad)(very good possibility) 4.then check for spark, if you can get a spark tester then great, if not you can use an old spark plug or even take one of yours out and only crank for 2 seconds and see if you can see a spark... also check your spark plugs, and wires, and coils, or whatever you have on that car. 5.check the oil!!!!! 6.do you have a boost gauge? what does that read? let me know what you get for all of this. try not to miss anything....
  18. agreed ^^ plus, did you just do the batteries and then the lights stopped working, thats a clue that you probably messed something up. check your grounds and stuff...
  19. well i would get one.... i just bought a 35w kit and it comes with the relay... if i didnt need it then why would it come with one. also your battery might be getting old and may not have enough amps to run everything...
