  1. Whats the difference between yours and the one on Kellys z31 turbo. Or is it trashed?
  2. Sorry bro. My comment was towards the guy onephatz and I know that did the fb 305 swap. I shoulda quoted it.
  3. too bad he wont ever get it running
  4. He could of at least used a K&N... not the APC Intimidator air filter... OoOooOO i'm intimidated.
  5. My 89 Honda accord lxi with 345XXX thousand ORIGINAL miles(no typo) yeild sme 30 mpg average still. I keep her tuned up very frequently and oil changes religiously, and i commute on the highway to work. I am very pleased with the mileage. Of course, this car does have a high flow muffler and CAI.. but that shouldnt change much concerning gas mileage.

  7. NO.. i am all about cheap vehicles I just picke dup my 300zx for free. just needs rust repair and the intake reinstalled and a new battery Got my 86 blazer for free Bought my 89 Accord lxi for $500 but my wifes probe wasnt so cheap And i am looking to buy a 1997 Saturn sc1 with 120k miles in really nice shape for $500 So, do not buy that corolla
  8. Here is what I have done in multiple vehicles.. Buy a 4 channel amp that is 2 ohm stero stable. Hook up all 4 6 1/2s to the front two channels, and then bridge the rear channel for your 12" sub. THough, if you desire the fade control capability on all speakers, then this would not be your best option. If you want full control, then like whats been said, a 5 or 6 channel amp would be key, and since your have plenty of outputs then your good to go. On brand.. well, sometimes the best isn't the best. Some "higher" end brands now focus on advertising and appearance, other than quality *cough*Kicker, JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate*cough* Make sure that the amp you do buy, you are able to handle and look at in person at a store front in a local store, and make sure you get a good warranty. Circuit City and Best Buy have good warranty programs. Local shops usually do to. And for example, I have had my Profile California 50X4 amp for 6 years now. Still works fine and never gave me issues. It was always hooked up right. So the install has to be correct. Make sure your wire guage is proper, and yes, a nice capacitor and maybe a deep cell barrety will allow you to have full potential of your amp. And since you said its going in a 'Vette, I would buy what it takes to make everything proper. I myself am looking at buying a DBdrive Speed series a490 amp. It has: 4 X 90 Watts @ 4 Ohms 4 x 180 Watts @ 2 Ohms 2 x 360 Watts @ 4 Ohms · Class "AB" Circuitry · Audiophile Grade Components · DRIVESINK Technology (Heat Mgt. System) · High Efficiency Mosfet X Outputs · On-board High/Low Pass X-Over · On-board Bass Boost Remote · Enhanced Dynamic Performance · 2 ohms Stereo Capability · Bridgeable It runs about $250, but its worth it with a 2 year warranty THough, I never care about hooking up multiple amps. I have a 4 channel amp and a mono amp in my car. Took about 3 hours, but there is alot of wires. Oh well...
  9. I got your back chief! Just wait until you finish the project with good results. You will have done more with your car than alot of people. So dont worry about them haters And, I would do twin super 16g's DSM guys sell those off really quick to go for a bigger turbo.
  10. BUt what really sucked about the car, is that one day i went to jack it up, and the jack went through the frame. Now, I dont know about most people, but when your unemployed and dont own/know how to weld, cars like that are not very practical, even as projects. Oh well... its gone. And I have recovered form the loss Oh and by the way... they guy who got it has had TONS of suspension, brake and other rust related issues, but got the car down to 2550 lbs
  11. sorry man, your correct. i know nothing. then i guess 4 different cars that i had fan issues that i fixed were something else. but whats funny is, they stopped overheating when i got an adequate fan on. what do i know. i didnt grow up around a shop.
  12. Jesse, your car runs warm because you have a small fan. The night I drove it, it ran warm, and it was like 50 outside. I bet your stock clutched fan pushed alot more air than that one...
  13. well, i wonder how cheap, and if he really can get these parts, then we can see what it could really be like to have the 928 setup in a 280z
