Honey, I blew up the G!

[Boostedrex]

Brian, congrats on the upcoming son!! That's great news!! Also, congrats on the new job. Are you guys going to move to TN or are you going to just commute for the time being?

Also, if you are thinking of a body kit for your "other exterior mods," check out the KS Auto Burnout kit.

I've always thought that was a great looking kit. Simple, clean, and still aggressive.

I have no plans to move to Chattanooga.

That body kit is hot. Just not the direction I think I am going to take the G. You'll see.

So do you have an equipment list? I would be interested in what sub and deck you are choosing?

Camshaft called me tonight to make sure I didn't hang myself with techflex, and alerted me to the activity in this here thread.

I recently accepted a new job with a company based out of Chattanooga, so I am traveling between the A and the 'noog weekly. You know how the new job thing goes...just devours you for the first few months. But the pay is better, and the upside could be huge.

We are also expecting again. Ann (my wife) is 23 weeks pregnant with our son, Jonathan Lee. If any of you have had a prego wife or S/O... you know what I am going through. It's all worth it though. Children are such a blessing.

One of the good perks is that Abby, our two year old, is moving from the nursery into the guest room. That means the entertainment center that has been doing double duty as a low slung dresser needs to move out of the guest room, and down to the family room.

And we can't have our dinky 27" HD CRT tv on that bad-boy. So we just ordered one of these today:



Sony XBR5 52" LCD. Woot! Nearly twice the size of the Sammy CRT we had down there.

On the car front... Some of the necessary components that I have been waiting on have arrived. So horray for that. Just need to figure out when I can get enough hours in a row to install em.

Still waiting on the new deck. The order has been placed though.

Punch list looks like this:
1. Get new subs installed. (IB through ski-hole/rear seats)
2. Move amps to trunk floor.
3. Fab new kick panels covers.
4. Do some "creative" things to the door card.
5. Get new deck.
6. Get new wheels.
7. Do some "other" exterior mods.
8. Make a new book.
9. Tune tune tune.

So... yeah. A lot of work there.

Again, I apologize for checking-out for a while. Just taking care of the first things first. Ya know?

Congrats Brian!!! I was just pondering the blessing of children over the weekend. Both boys (1-1/2 and 2-1/2) were helping me, err hindering me, clean up the yard. I was just thinking how cute that was...


And, how it was preventing me from working on my kicks!!! The honey-do list must come first .

Very nice. I looked at the HU, looks really sharp. Are you going with the 19O IB? Or a 16O?

Thanks Aubs! We are overjoyed to have another little one.

I love Image. Their drivers are absolutely top-notch. No question.

I am more than satisfied with my experience with Elemental over the past 3 years.

Thumps! Where do you work? I'd love to catch up with you.

I am in downtown off Chestnut and 4th.

Wow. Instead of doing my homework which is due in 2 hours, I read through this entire thread LOL. OP, you do amazing work. I am doing an IB setup this summer, with an active 2-way setup up front. Can't wait...but I wish I could go 3-way. I gotta find a 701 combo for cheap. Also can't wait to see the updates on this thing. Are you going with Skyline badges for the outside? I love the USDM G's that have all the JDM badges. If you go that route make sure you get the Nissan airbag cover too though. BTW, I know I am not alone when I say I am JEALOUS! I now realize how much work goes into a project like this. I think I may take a week off from work this summer JUST to work on the car and finish it...working day and night haha.

Both of you inspire a lot of us with your work.
Hope to see you two again sometime.
And Steve, share some of your install pics with the DIY crowd.

Thanks for the compliments! I will start a different thread on my car and not post pics in Brian's thread. It would be very un-cool to thread-jack. I'm definately more anxious to see Brian's install than just about anyone considering he is my biggest competition in the MECA Modified Install class. Like I've said a million times....if I have to lose to anyone it had better be to Brian. Either way, it's still a win for Team Zapco. Now Brian....hurry up and finish so we can get to a show together!!! I'll be here in the sandbox until the last week in June. Then I will make some minor equipment changes and compete again sometime in July. Talk to you soon Bro. Give my best to Ann.

[ECLIPSEsqfan]

I know I am bringing this back from the dead, but where did all the pictures go off to?

This install was such an inspiration to me and I wanted to look at it again.

Miss you all btw, life has been rough but I am still around!
