well, after a crappy weekend full of not workin on the car(starting friday, thanks evildsm haha), I spent the majority of the day fixing what started out as a bad water pump on the straight 6 in the wife-mobile. interrupted by the need for a new radiator, and both upper and lower rad hoses, with a quick sprint to the graveyard(thanx for the bolts guys) for the turbo to mani on the gsx, I finally got er done and will be finishin up the car on wednesday(hopefully).

small update: Eclipse cd player done. replace eclipse grille with shaved talon grille done. cleaned and hand sewed small hole in shifter boot and dropped the shifter knob down. next: replace all interior speakers and begin lookin for an amp to push the jl 12w7. replace the mitsubishi rear lamp assy with shaved talon assy. remove all a/c chit and relocate alternator. then either get my fmic pipes back or fab some, and look for injectors and tuning apparatus.

gotta say that i like the look of the non-fuckin pink stripe shaved talon tails and rather dig the black, debadged grille WAY better than the yellowed eclipse grille. just an opinion though. as for the a/c shit, find a good relocation kit for the alternator, buy it and come see me with a coupla dollars. then we'll talk turkey about u livin the a/c dream!

replaced all interior speakers with audiobahn component sets. removed part/most of the humongous ding behind the driver's door. also stepped to 6 1/2" audiobahns instead of the oh so fabulous jensen 6X9s that were in there. and yes i even saved the correct brackets from my green 94 1.8 that was totaled years ago! older speakers, but 2 pair were brand new in boxes still!
