Thats more weight than needed. It already is 4000+lbs.

240sxDann · 09-16-2008, 10:50 PM

no offense but...its a luxury car...it aint goin fast anyways lol. might as well make it pimpin

97TurboDSM · 09-16-2008, 10:50 PM

more weight than needed? its not a fuggin racecar, a few extra pounds isnt gonna hurt anything

russiankid · 09-16-2008, 11:01 PM

That is true. However, I am not a big fan of subs. I like my trunk space, plus I don't want to deal with going around the stock amp and crossover.

trust me you will be if you try them. a stereo system isnt complete without a sub IMO. **** i even run a single 10 inch jl in my gutted s13

oh and i like your beamer. its clean

97TurboDSM · 09-16-2008, 11:05 PM

yea you dont need 2 15"'s in there. a small 10" in a flush mounted or side mounted box would be perfect.

240sxDann · 09-16-2008, 11:06 PM

2 15"s? I was more thinking like....4+

russiankid · 09-16-2008, 11:07 PM

I have heard a good system before and honestly I am not impressed by it. I know I wouldn't need anything big. I was going to build a system for my Accord, which would have been a 10" Infiniti sub with a Aduibahn amp. I found I could put the money to better use.

97TurboDSM · 09-16-2008, 11:08 PM

yea put 4 15's in your S13

The car has a stock alarm. Instead of wiring in an aftermarket alarm I just bought a FOB for this one. I think the nickname for this car should be roadrunner.

97TurboDSM · 09-18-2008, 01:09 AM

yea but its not fast........

russiankid · 09-18-2008, 05:35 PM

Thats true. Heres a pic today after I washed it. It needs to get detailed.

russiankid · 09-21-2008, 01:52 PM

I started to get a loud thud when going into reverse. Then shifts started to get rough. Checked some mounts out and uh oh.

The bad mounts on are the left. The one in the upper left hand corner is completely shot. The new one is on the right. These are transmission mounts.

New ones in, the ride is much better now. Shifts smooth.

SoStock92 · 09-21-2008, 06:30 PM

Nice - you can go with a 320i bushing thats better, those rectanle pieces seem to break often

Thanks. These seem to work really well. If the old ones lasted 13 years I am sure these will last 5+ years. I think by then I will have the knowledge and money for a 5-speed swap.

russiankid · 10-21-2008, 08:08 PM

Ordered some HID's. Going with 55watt 5000k. I'll post some pics when installed.
