Pioneer~Saturn Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Alright, got some welding done today. Got 2 main supports welded across the car near the sunroof to then weld smaller supports upto the metal track of the sunroof to hold it in place instead of flapping in the wind with teh dbz.. Before..how luxurious.. Taking the seats out getting ready n chit.. Teh metal.. Then the fun began, we got the first main support made up and welded in and then the 2nd one welded in. It came time to weld the first small support onto the track of the sunroof, so we got the small piece welded onto the main support. Then we saw that it was welded a bit further away from the sunroof track than we'd like so we tried pushing it/hitting it to bend back a bit but didnt budge...so I just so happened to have a clamp in my car and we used that to pull the smaller piece where it should be and welded it in position. Everything seemed to be just fine but about a minute after taking the clamp off (about to weld the 2nd small piece onto another part of the track) we hear a snap, crackle, pop and notice the sunroof's glass just spider-cracked. To say the least I was confused for a few minutes on wtf was going on but soon realized the piece we welded while it was clamped had pulled the frame of the sunroof's glass inward, putting a butt-load of pressure on the glass and it cracked But im actually not that bummed about it, we cut that piece off and got some duct tape on the glass stat. I'll be going to the junkyard to grab another sunroof glass-piece (held in by 6 screws and can be taken out in like 2 minutes ) through a hopefully free barter with the junkyard in exchange for all the saturn parts ive taken out and will never use again..if not, it'll probably just be really cheap. So, in short...the glass cracked after a chunk of work was done and he'll have the alternator idler pulley trued up the next visit along with the welding done (hopefully) Some pics after the sunroof was taken out.. There was a lot of foam holding that bish in though.. The supports.. The side walls of the car's main supports were pretty thin and the welds ate through it a couple times so weld had to be globbed-on to fill everything back up.. More as it happens..

Pioneer~Saturn Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Alright, I got my door pack of Damplifier Pro a while ago from Second Skin (THANKS! ) along with 20 spl tiles. Me n Matt gettin gour door packs put in and a little testing.. Used the whole door pack on my passenger's side door..plan on getting another door pack for the other door. And I didnt get pics of the door exterior skin off and the inside deadened, but that happened.. New sunroof, painted it black and laid down a bunch of epoxy on the sunroof tracks to hold it in position once mounted...its pretty darn solid now. And handful of spl tiles up, I'll have more pics once theyre all in..

Marlo Stanfield Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Good job hitting your biggest weak point, should see sum small gains from it once u get it back on the meter. I would love to see this setup with a removable port for daily/comps and see what kind of numbers it can put up. I know it has a ton more potential in it. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer...

Pioneer~Saturn Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks. And yea, Im not too worried about metering to be honest..Im just biding my time and making it more solid for an upgrade down the road into 49.9 I was hoping to be able to fit an interchangeable port setup into this enclosure but just decided to tune at 30hz and be done with it and im glad I did, gotta have the lows.
