Nice job on everything so far Mikey. Are you going to paint the car a different color? Or going the same color?

Good luck with the rest of the install and whatever else you are doing. Makes me miss my 94 T-Bird with the 4.6L..........but mine was supercharged. Twas a lot of fun.

Thanks man, and yeah its gonna be the same color.

The color looks kick *** in the can. I have a quart of it already for touching up all the spots Ive been cleaning up before the snow falls. I popped the lid and dipped in a paint stick to check it out. I cant really describe it, buts its like a silver/bluish/purple kind of looking color. Its pretty cool actually, but pricey //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Hopefully will be doing a PI motor swap soon. I want to get a set of PI heads ported and polished, get a PI intake manifold, bigger throttle body, get my intake together, get a tune burned on my chip, and get this new ***** with the shift kit in, oh and get the true duals ran with my new muffler and tips. I was thinking about going supercharged, since I had bought a MAF for a supercharged motor, but due to gas and drive ability I decided to stay N/A.

Probably do most of that before I even finish up teh audioz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I dont have anytime to work on this stuff though, it sucks. I just made a box for my buddys 15" R yesterday and had to get his setup all installed. Unfortunately though his amp is toast (will have pics of it later).

And now I have two exams next week, I have to finish reading this **** book tonight, and then I have to start writing a paper this weekend which is due next week.

I dont even have time to drink any buuurrs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Theres just soo much stuff I want to get done to my car right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Good luck bud, if Im lucky I might finish polishing the cases of my amps tonight and get them put back together. I probably should before I end up loosing all the screws //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Paint looks good mang! Don't see that color around to much honestly.

Port and polish sounds like an idea, bigger throttle body always helps as well. I did all that as well with the ******, no shift kit though.

Supercharger was nice, but man did my gas mileage hit the shitter, not that it was even that good before, lol! Sole reason I ended up getting ride of it. I actually traded it in as the dealership gave me a good amount for it. Never get what you put into it and I almost did, so went with it.

I do miss the car though, was a lot of fun hitting the drags or just for a night out in town. Oh well, the good ole times! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

^^^ Yep, I mainly started off trying to do the more common things just to improve the engines overall efficiency and mileage, so I might just keep it conservative for a while.

Main things I want to get done though are the intake setup and then the exhaust, ***** and tune.

Exhaust comes next, gettin paid tomorrow, then probably make a run out to the shop and throw a set of tie rod ends on it, then run it down the street to the exhaust shop.

Also, updates on the amps in a minute once I upload pics.

Stay tuned. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Pics up

Hit all the cases with another rub down of rubbing compound and polish, then a light spray wax and wipe with a terry cloth.
