The engine bay, not to much to look at but it's still a work in progress. The battery is an Optima, probably one of the best batteries around. It
uses gel instead of liquid so it wont leak. I even saw a video where someone shot it with a shotgun then hooked it up and started up there truck. Since it will never leak, you can mount it sideways or
even upside down. I only spent like $130 on it and it has a lifetime warranty. The Cold Air Intake that you see is the cheapest one i could find on ebay. Laugh all you want, but for $50 it really
makes a difference in performance. That and it looks nice. The brand name is Bomz.

Behind the tires and rims you'll find my Skunk2 coilovers and KYB AGX struts. They are came painted in red too, so it looks pretty nice in there,
if you could see in there that is. I'm not sure if I would reccomend to get coilovers, they are kind of a pain in the ass to adjust. Unless you can keep them real clean. Dust and dirt and whatever else
can get in there and bind up within the adjusting threads. Then trying to get them all the same height is a real treat too, especially when all you have is a floor jack to do one corner at a time. But I
got mine as equal as I could. I got a hold of a broken tape measure and cut off the first six inches of it to put up to the coilovers to measure the height of the spring perches.

First off is my JVC KD-SX950 head unit. Flip down detachable face with remote. Has all the options I need and a few I dont. Underneath the JVC
is my Alpine 13 band equalizer. In the front door I have Alpine 5 1/4 three ways Rear deck is Alpine 6x9 three ways. In the trunk two 12inch Kicker Impulse in a sealed box. To power the subs I have an
MTX 2300 and for the Alpines I use an Alpine v12 four channle amp. Theres also a half farad Lighting Cap. Do you like the extra stealthy install? Just kidding, I need to get around to finishing this area
and hiding all those wires. To keep theives away I installed a Viper 550HF CodePlus Alarm, damn its loud too. I set it off accidently while workin under the hood, oops.
Update: 2 - auro pro bass shakers, 2 - MTX 5400, 1 - MTX 2300, soon to be installed, 2 - Kicker Comp Vr's ,12 inch, 2 - Kicker Comp Vr's, soon to be installed ,12 inch |

NOTES::
|
The trunk, whole left side, hood and rear right have all been painted, and there was rust prior to the paint job, but all rust has been cut out and
new metal welded in. Theres been quite of bit of body work now, but all to make the car more appealing. Timing belt was recently replaced with engine work done.
