Only 2 of those head units are mine, the rest of that stereo stuff belongs to my friend Danny, the dude in the green firebird.
His ex works in a pawn shop so he was always getting deals on stereo stuff. He's putting in the Alpine shuttle and the Kicker Amps into his firebird.
He is probably going to sell what he isn't going to use so if you know anyone looking for decent audio stuff, let me know.

I am going to stick with my basic setup, 2 amps, 4 speakers, 1 sub, and my JVC MP3 Deck. Don't need all that crap weighing my car down.

Thanks,
I am trying to finish it up asap.
No boost as of yet, I chose that gauge since it was the same price as a vucuum only gauge.

Well, since the car has been sitting so long and it isn't very pretty, haven't wanted to have girls pose with it.

I'll have a lot of pictures when the car is up and running. I have a lot of catchup to do.

I'll have Turbos on it by 2004, hopefully.
When this car is running, I'm going to start to search for a 4bolt LT1 and build that up for the turbos and when it is ready to be installed I am going to sell the LT4 motor that I have now.

ahh that sounds pretty cool man, good luck with it, it will be a hard task thats for sure. hey if you do end up doing it, check out a book called maximum boost by corky bell, that is if you havent read it yet. this book has a twin turbo tpi 350 and talks about every aspect of turbos, its both for beginners and veterans of turbo cars.

Thanks,
I've read most of that book but I need to read it again since it is so technical and is hard to absorb. My friend Lenny with a 95 Supra TT has the book.

comming along very nicely. So I see you decided to not stay with the Z28 hi-rise spoiler? When do you plan on installing the motor? And have you decided on a color yet?

I know when I tried to decide on a color for my camaro, I changed my mind a thousand times.

Engine is going in as soon as I can get the gaskets. $206+ oil pan gasket.
Car is going to be Black.
I am going to try and get some emblems made up in the same font as the 4th gen Trans Am and have them say Blackbird.
