98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

I would paint the "Escort" black. Black, red, and white always go great together. Very nice prep work you did there. Great way to eliminate overspray problems and have an overall quality job.

That was my idea too, I think it would look pretty cool. I want to get it debadged and tint the rear lights. POSSIBLY paint the stock wheels black... very hesitant on that though.

Head over to teamzx2.com. That's where I spent a good 2 years of my internet time lol. Those boys know their shit when it comes to this car and tricks of the trade when it comes to easy performance mods and debadging and painting. I learned everything about this car from there!

I want to bump it up to 2 12's instead of one 12. Sometime next week I'll get a box built (hopefully) and this is what I'm looking at doing. let me know how you feel. I will drop 2 SA-12's and use and audiopipe AP1500 amp on it and having it firing toward the back of the trunk. Box tuned to 32Hz :) . thoughts? suggestions?

Thanks a lot, I've seen there site and some of the cool stuff that they do on there, but I should make a point to get an account and let them know what I'm doing. I would like to do performance mods in the future, I think it would be a lot of fun.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c

that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it

if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain

Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..............go fuck yourself lol

Thank you for the pointers, they both looks really good. My problem is that I don't have many tools to do angles :( otherwise I would love to have the sub and port firing into the cabin and seal off the trunk. Hopfully in the future I will be able to do that. I just looked at the pirctures lol... were those 2 10's? have you thought about doing a ported box at all? you won't be disappointed :)

You're going to have to seal that bish off like a mofo. It looks like your box does pretty well at covering up the trunk, but maybe look into ways of sealing off the trunk. I did some tests in my car and it was definitely louder when I had the port firing towards the back of the trunk (as close to the back as possible is the best unless you can seal off the trunk).
