Finally got to 60 degrees today, so I got the new P5 out and the bike and washed them up. Also ordered new shoes for the car, will post up pics of them when they arrive.

Forgive the quality, neighbors are burning brush so its a bit smokey. Also took a pic of the box, its in the car, but still way from being finished. Sounds good though.

Keep us updated on that sub box, looks like it has potential.

Thanks..
It sounds good, its about .4-.5 cuft. Took awhile to get it to this stage.. about 40hrs... There are 12 pcs of wood there. I could make it faster and with less pcs if I made it again. Now I just need to finish the triming, sanding and either wrap it in vinyl or carpet...

So far I have a Pioneer Premier head unit
Clarion Amp (way too small for the sub) Got a Zapco competition laying on a shelf...
And the JL Audio 10W6 sub.

Best of all, I can remove everything and it will be completely stock.

Looking good, why not just do the box with fibreglass? Does the sub get decently loud?

I don't like working with Fiberglass, I might, if I get to feeling froggy. But years ago I had a minitruck and worked with the stuff and hated it.. A buddy of mine, is wanting me to do it as well. I think it would look awesome, but I don't know what to paint it.. If I do vinyl I can make it match the car, more stealth.

As far as sound goes, it sounds great, pretty damn loud. I got a new amp laying and waiting for time to install the clarion is way to small.

Yep down here in Gtown. Nice car btw.. Yeah I went riding yesterday, should have waited until today. I am selling the bike so I am riding every chance I get to try to enjoy it as long as I can.

I see your one of your mods was 6" driving lights, can you tell me where you got them? one of my factory's is busted (still works just looks bad) and I see the factory lights are expensive, thought I might just fab something up and install some larger aftermarkets.

I might get to toss my amp in later tonight, waiting on the wife to get home, my boy wanted to come back inside and watch movies..

Thank you..I ordered them online somewhere but I dont remember where. I actually have some MP3/P5 OEM foglights now though. I know there is a guy on ebay that sells individual OEM fogs at a pretty good price...
 
Must be nice, My poor car is sitting in the driveway covered in mud. Im too embarrased to drive it!

thanks for the tip, I am going to look around, although my searching skills are lacking.

I orderd wheels today so I was really motivated, I did get to go down and throw in the new amp... Big difference... I was wrong earlier, it was an eclipse amp, replaced with a Zapco competition series..

I ordered my wheels from edgeracing, Ronin warned me, but I searched around and found alot of positives on the net so I thought I would give them a try, hopefully I will get them sometime next week. Might work on the box more tomorrow, I am off work getting my stitches removed from my thumb.. (thumb)

So I went on EBay and found 1 fog light for 95$ + 25$ shipping.. wow... that seems a little outrageous... anyone know of any other places or is this what I should expect?

the front drivers has a small bend in it so the car vibrates at 70-80mph ( I think it can be balance out... but it gave me a good excuse to the wife to get new wheels.. ). I am selling them to a friend of mine, for 100$ to put on his Mazda B2000. He has converted it over to 5 lug, it has airbags on it etc.. I was going to post pics on here once he gets the wheels on it.

My neighbors are burning brush off their land, we live in the country, everyone has a min of 5acres... I have a huge pile of brush to burn, just decided to clean the bike and car instead.

Thanks for the comments on the bike, I really like it and not to thrilled with selling it, but thats life. We are wanting to have another child and it has almost 13K miles on it. So might as well sell it off and get another bike down the road.. I really like the 06 Triumph Daytona... maybe by 08 they will change and I can pick up an 06 or 07 pretty cheap.
