BTW, how many man hours did this take to build?

I think it says earlier in this thread... and it's tooooo many..... [emoji5]

It was worth it though.

I only have one experience with using an LD. I was running all early Punch DSM amps with and Audio Control LD. The LD was basically useless b/c if you dialed in any signal above 3 or 4 volts, the amps went into protection. I ended up taking the LD back as I had 3 volts from the head unit I was using.

Dude, your wife is on picture duty from this point forward. Straight-up car porn, plain and simple...

My intent is to tune it to the point where it will sound good and happy with it. Nothing like when I used to compete IASCA and spent countless hours in the car tuning it, etc... The one thing I learn through out the years competing is don't matter how good it sound to you to a judge it may sound li...

I meant to ask before. Is it a standard b-series block or have you upgraded to a b16/b18?

I raced a modded gen 6 Si at the dragstrip once. I was bone stock, but he beat me by a car length at least. Much lighter car than my '07 Si.

Dude, it's amazing. There's nothing else like it by a huge margin. It's a sure trophy
winner if you decide to compete.

Congrats!

So I put the amp on eBay. Got a message from a guy in portland that had the amp stolen from him 12 yrs ago. He seems legit on his claim. Says he had the cover till about 5 yrs ago when his house went into foreclosure. Says he doesn't expect anything from me but I think the right thing to do would b...

Those old Denons are great amps. There's lots of pics of similar models in the old school thread.

It's beautiful, and they are fast in a straight line. However it's not going to be a good track car, it's just far too heavy. Trying to track it is going to absolutely punish your rubber as well. Y-rated tires are too expensive for that imo. Hella, sleeper though. If those are Mopar, or Hemi badges ...

Ah okay... Then I think I will buy the lot of trickyricky to fire up my 3 Way System, containing of 2xTI600.2, 1 TI400.2 and one ZX600TI for the subamp... Have to refinish them thouggh.... Anybody an idea whrere I could get the graphics that were used there ? I personally wouldn't worry about the g...

If your referring to this TI line http://download.phoenixphorum.com/Manuals/Amplifiers/Titanium/ , these are made in USA. The quality of components and pcb went down hill once they were built off shore. Agreed. All of the Zx/Ti lines were built here in the states. They started making certain lower ...

no they do not

I didn't think so[emoji316]

Does the Ti series have the gold plated circuit board? I always thought they d/c the gold plated PCB before the Ti series.

Oh...[emoji6]

Is that a plastic fuel cell where the pass seat goes?

Looks fun. I've been to lots of auto competitions over the years but have surprisingly never seen a DD.

I also think that cracker is an offensive word and because of it I don't want to see an African American say the word Cracker, Zesta, Ritz or even Oyster with out all the white people in the room giving a "OH NO he didn't" - look... Are you being serious about Cracker being offensive to y...

The Cowboys too, thank goodness... [emoji3]

I think the should change Washington to the name I've called them since the mid 90's....

Exactly [emoji3]

Thanks guys. Were doing some work before we move in. I'll try to put up some before, during and after pics.

You're doing work on it before you close?

If that's a decent unit, it may be ideal for the Mrs. The lack of a brand name worries me, but nowadays pretty much everything's made in China anyway.

gotta love how a sub in a hatch sounds. My 97 ranger has the 3.0 v6 and I have never had an issue out of it myself. Prior to that I had a 91 ranger with a 2.3 and while it was reliable it left you downshifting on even the smallest hill if you were in 5th. The 3.0 never had that issue and it was goo...

The 4.0 v6 has 3 timing chains 1 in the front of the engine and 2 in the back....way tofuckyou in the drive thru.

Is that the V6 from the Taurus? I didn't think chains needed replacement, just adjustments every 100k or so.

RayBuck wrote:Sorry I see that you said it has a aftermarket hood.

Yea, I'd deff replace that hood. Rough the paint up with sandpaper and get a "Maco Special" in the original color.

I always wanted one of those in HS. I drove a 4 cyl mustang. The insurance on the Probe GT was $500 a month. Needless to say I had to stay with my 4 cyl.

I'm pretty sure that's the same engine as the MAZDA 6 and 626 pretty indestructible- Waaay better than the ford made engines of that era.

What kind of vehicle is it going in?
