My first car, 22 years later

What would you change to them? I'm not sure how to add two speakers without cutting them up a little.

This

Id get stock door panels back on it with a simple Focal or Boston 2-way components. They will fit, can even squeeze them behind the factory grills.

since the car is now a classic...get some classic plates for it

Not a classic.. yet! Its a 1990. Has a little over two years to go, has to be 25 years old.

Wanna run the V Matt?

When it's tuned, actually yes, I do. Right now it wouldn't keep up with your truck. Lmao

As for the rest of the car, its pretty freaking sweet. What kind of seats are those?

The K2s won't fit behind a factory grill. I had some small grills made for my wife's 92, but I'd lose db losing the 5.38" and imaging... The car's had a system in it since 94 and always had 2 component speakers in the front on both sides. These door panels were built to replace the ones that were on it that were much uglier. Hard to squeeze 13 speakers in a vert. Ha. Seats are Recaros, were going to cover in white leather, but probably going to re-do the stock seats instead.

Z0, I have new Hellas for the Fogs, just haven't installed them yet.

This picture suggests it is not currently running.



EDIT, I have other questions. What is that where the IAC is supposed to be? Is there still an electronic idle control?

Um. Wut? You mean the billet IAC that says FAST on it? Because the car has a FAST? It's Inductive Pick'Up sequential adaptive learning control. It doesn't use the disty pickup anymore... The disty just sends signal to the wires, I assure you I drove the car last night and the pictures were before the Forrest Lane meet, and the hood shot was this morning. Lol

Damn, I think this is the first time I have seen pics of the vert. Very clean, and prolly the best color choice.

I love it, keep it clean and still have fun in it.

Thafuck? Why does one need 13 speakers? Sounds a little ethnic to me...

Yes, the IAC was one part I was refering to. Never seen one like that. Looks pretty cool. And yes, the fact that the dizzy wasnt hooked up was my other comment. Didnt realize it had a different feed/signal feeding the dizzy. So since its all so fancy, is the signal for the AC clutch wi-fi?

As for the speakers I realize great sound is a big deal. Done systems for years. Just looks a bit..... busy on your doors. Kinda takes away from the uber cleaness of the car. Boston SX or PRO will fit behind the grill but even if you just build a 3/2" spacer ring and use the Focal grill the Ks can fit in the factory opening and look way better.

I can't run the system 3 way with only 2 speakers in front... The 6.8s are crossed from 70-300 hz... It looks busy because we initially built it to be a stereo show car... Wanted as much shit in it as we could fit... The stock panels were tossed in 94, as stated these were new panels to replace the uglier ones it had. If you see me around, ask for a listen... It will all make sense after you hear it. The license plate is multi meaningful as my dad went nuts on every part of the car... Beside the wheels which we haven't figured what to put on it yet.
Btw, the ac isn't hooked up or functional yet...

this car is absofuckinglutely perfect.

well-done.

[kirbster]

Looks awesome! Cool story too! I would like to keep my Mustang and pass it on to my son. But I have a problem keeping cars.

[46Tbird]

Cool car.

As long as you have posted, you've always been completely obsessed with horsepower numbers! I bet you've rubbed the letters right off the R, W, H, and P keys.

I never liked verts until I bought one to flip. Since then I enjoy thowing the top down on nice days a lot more than I thought I would. The door panels appear neccessary to me and I would love to have a listen to a fox with a nice stereo, I have had a lot of Mustangs but never had a system that I was really happy with. Nice job!!

Anything less than the best is a FELONY............
