Crandis16 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Posted July 22, 2012 Ouch! That hurts the eyes and the wallet. How long dose it take on the reconeing thing? actually not long. I have a buddy who just did 4 recones to his subs from the same guy, and he says about 1 after the prep stage. The prep stage included hacking my beautiful sub up with a flathead screwdriver and a razor while watching top gear eventually I said screw it and bought a course wiredisk attachment and used it on my cordless drill to get all the nasty goop off from the surround and the damn tough epoxy from the spidersmy recone cost 150 and it's better than stock lvl 4 nice link My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL
dog24fret Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 That's cool never done one. Top gear is cool just don't laugh or get too distracted it might hurt lol. Thanks to your dummies guide to build log links I was able to get it done. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp
Crandis16 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Posted August 4, 2012 I haven't been up to much lately. I made a special purchase recently that has made my wallet have some really bad butthurt Singer 220A H/O alt I did the recone, I think it turned out very nicely this is one beefy bastard I cleaned up my lights with toothpaste and it made a BIG difference Then back to the recone!!! there was white paint on the gluing surface so the dust cap popped off and failed at the paint. to fix it I sanded the gluing surface and used some shoe goop to put it on again. It's looking super sexy now This is where I am at now, I still need to seal off the trunk but I'll just wait until I am un-butthurt and I have more money to throw around My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL
Crandis16 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Posted August 4, 2012 I also got bored the other day and bought some plastidip to do certain parts of the car. It doesn't look bad, but it isn't good.... if that makes any sense lol My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL

dog24fret Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 No the recone aint all that nice. It's there with you not me lol. How did you paint the dust cap I thought that would mess the balance up on speakers? The butt hurt is with sandpaper lol with joys after the pain is gone. That's funny the toothpaste trick lasts longer than the $40 lens kits. Does this plastic dip fad last very long? Almost looks good the sub is crooked or is the operator . Keep it up the good work. When will you get your alt in? Let me know how well it fits or what mods has to be done. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp

When will you get your alt in? Let me know how well it fits or what mods has to be done. I really like the recone, he did a great job on it! I just got typical aerosol paint at the local hardware store and painted it before I glued the dustcap on. then the paint got messed up after it was put on so I had to paint again. I just oulined the painting area with painters tape and the rest with newspaper, then I went at it again. toothpaste is a cheap fix, but I don't think it'll last very long. I prefer doing it once a month as opposed to buying a $40 kit for an old car. idk about the plastidip. I'll keep it on over the winter because it'll protect the alloy wheels a little, and it's currently keeping the paint on the stupid spoiler. If it was my choice I would get a spoiler delete kit and remove the stupid thing hahahahahaha I did standard holes at first (12:00, 1:30, 3:00... etc) but I messed up so I just rotated it 22.25 degrees just to bug those OCD people they are pretty good with their customer service. I hope to get it before the 19th (erie comp) but he said anywhere between 2-3 weeks and maybe earlier depending on when parts come in. He's located in Ohio so if I pick it up it should be NBD. Hooking up the alt needs no special bracket. It's a plug n' play alt My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL
dog24fret Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 One day I will get a sub worth reconeing too see what it's like in person. The last lens kit lasted for two months the tooth paste has been three months. And just now ready to do it again big expense diff for sure. Just wondering about the plastic dip thing everyone's doing it around here. The spoiler thing is funny I was wanting to put the aluminum one on her car. Whose OCD just because the screws have to be at the same angle and even spaced don't mean anything . Cool good luck with the alt and comp. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp

You'll find this funny, when I took the stupid spoiler off it was heavy. there was water or some liquid in it. I went to dump it out but found no holes in it to dump it out. So I saw now saw to get the water in and no way to get the water out I just wanted to try out the plastidip because you can remove it if you don't like it. My buddy was going to do racing stripes on his 99' mazda miata.... but before you say anything, it's turboed and is getting it dyno'd soon from a pro miata guy. He claims that it will have 450hp when it's all said and done at the mostSpoilers can be cool but I don't like anything flashy or stupid like the one on my car hahaha My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL
