98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Cool floor. Your not going to make a access for the spare? Yea I understand fix one thing something else. Rebuilt the motor,Done complete tune/computer reprogram got the car to 37mph on the highway with ac on. Now have to replace front wheel bearing and tearing front of engine down to replace the cat. I really understand lol.

Nahhhhh, I gave it some thought and the door to the spare would take up most of the floor area and the sub box would be blocking it anyway. DAMN that's rough. I found a 250A HO alt on CACO asking $200 for an escort that you might want to check out too BTW.

Oh, hello!!! What are you doing in my car?

So if you couldn't tell already, I picked up my SAZ-1500D V.2 from a buddy of mine who was kinda local. Now I'm just waiting on my sub from CJ18

Until then I hope to get some LED's wired in my trunk as well as building my box with some REAL tools lol

I did a little sketchup to get an idea of what I want to do in the trunk so tell me what you think and please point out any issues that you could see going wrong

That false floor looks great man! Very nice job carpeting it, it looks downright professional. Now get that box made!

Thanks! I'm really wanting to to move on too lol. If everything works out then I will get the in on friday. I will probably use a temp box until I can get the access to a tablesaw and circle cutter. I'm going to buy a 230A singer alt next week too :D I'm trying to have the sub shipped to me, I accidentally had it shipped home rather than my college address where I am now.

Audiopipe ftw

I thought I blew something in my audiopipe earlier this week, but I let my buddy Cashdollar2009 borrow it for a competition and it seemed to do pretty well actually. They're cheap and they put out :good:

Thats some nice steering wheel flex! Great!

I REALLY wish that this was my car. This is my buddy's with 2 DC lvl XL m1 15s on a fosgate 2500 amp lol. at the time it was hooked up to his audiopipe 1500 amp and my AP1500D amp

I have a vid on my build of me kinda pushing air, but it was on a seriouesly underpowered subwoofer. The sub (wired at 2ohms) was rated at 600wrms and I THOUGHT the amp was 500wrms @ 2ohms, but it was really 500wrms @ 1ohm lol. I'm never buying from local craigslist deals again :jon:

I thought it was yours! :) If the sub was pushing some hair with that power it must have a very good potential, I think I have some problems with Youtube links, I can't see them, can you link me that video please? :search:

So today I decided to get back on my grind so I picked up wood and got to work putting together a box

I went to a buddy's place to work because he had a planer, table saw, hole cutter/router and I only have a drill lol
