My car will have nice sounds coming from the inside today!!! :-)

Heading to my dad's to install an Alpine 75wx4 4/3/2 amp... It should go well with my Sony HU, and the 4 Infinity's in the car...

I'll let y'all know how it sounds!!!

PS... about 8 months until the mass modding begins!

Oo Oo!
I wanna hear more about the mass modding!
you got secret mods up your sleeves?
why in 8 months?

I am assuming you mean 4 Infinity's in the doors and not 4 Infinity subs. 75x4 RMS should be plenty to make your ears bleed!!!! Let us know. Any plans on adding some bass in there?????

Bass will come in later... gonna add a sub eventually. The speakers alone pump out a ton of bass, which was a surprise!!

The mass modding... well... heh..

I'm waiting for 8 months, because at that point, no more debt for me, and I get to spend MONEY on fun stuff for about a year, then I start looking at buying or building a house!

So far, I'm at least doing the intake, exahust, suspension, interior work, guages/hvac panel, paint job, some body work. I'm thinking about the SVT bumpers but, have to find a good set first!! Heh... if I get the bumpers, I'll have to get an appointment with Elky Engineering!!!! I want a good combo of performance and aestehtics. I don't want my car to be pretty, but, have no balls... and I don't want it to be a beast with no looks!!!

The fun begins next spring. :-)

You're gonna do all that work and spend all that $$$ on a '95 GL with a 4cyl ATX?

I'm not dis'ing your car or anything, but why not buy a CSVT and then throw some mods on to it? Seems like modding up the 4cyl ATX will barely bring it up to where you would be starting from with a CSVT.

Just a thought...

and I'm not whoring out my CSVT that I'm STILL trying to sell.

Well... part of the reason I want to do all of this is that in 3 months, the car is MINE. I bought it in 97, and my payments are up in October. It's my first car.

As sappy as it sounds, it does have sentimental value to me. It bailed me out of some bad situations!!!

But, I'm not looking for ultra performance- just some extra "oomf" behind it. It'll be a nice little project car for me, which is part of the fun of owning a car. I love the SVT's, and, they are a bit of a "dream car" for me, but, with the serious potential for the new Mondeo's, I'll probably wait to see what they have- if they have a 6, it'll be mine.

As it goes... even if I bought a CSVT, I'd still hold onto this one for fun!! :-)

Don't diss the 4-banger....
just look at how well Baco's (ahhh...Kim's) Gl held its own on it way out to SZ.
those little suckers can have some bawlz

Of course, bear in mind... this all happens after my car stops stalling at red lights!!!

you better beleive it
and because of the smaller engine it is a little lighter up front and turning is even sharper, IMO
