I have a stock exhaust for a 99 EX, if it will fit you can have it basically for shipping cost. I have a bunch of other stock stuff too if you're interested.

ok another week alittle more improvement.... tho just towards the stereo right now (hey whats my name...) i had to!

since im so happy with the two 12inch Alpine Type R subs i decided to keep rocken the R and this time i upgraded to a 15inch sub..... and i just reused my old custom box from my other civic and just cut the sub opening larger ITS A TIGHT FIT but it does fit! sounds very nice.... but i havent been able to really tune it since there was a cop siting at my tuning spot so i didnt want a ticket.LOL and my radio antena must have worked loose alittle so i need to pull the radio out AGAIN and make sure its pluged in firmly... i also need to put some cds in my car!

the radio dash kit sucked! i had to file spots in the console where the metal cage mounted to so they would slide into the dash. that sucked!
and also the box i may clean it up... or i might just keep it as-is and build a new one.... so ya most likely ill build a new one. i made this one about 2years ago.

and YES thats my big amplifier i could have sworn i still had my old small amplifier but i think i sold it after searching for it for 1/2hour i still dont remember selling it but i guess i did
BUT at least i had this beast amplifier laying around AND JUST MY LUCK.... the flea market guy sold me a dual2 ohm and i wasnt paying attention, i wanted a dual4 BUT since they gave me a dual2 im able to rock this amplifier powered at 4ohms which is benched at 669watts RMS. so it works out great! definatly not pushing the amplifier to hard at all, so ya im wasting potential but it works great so far!



NEXT PROJECT... guess...

SCOOBY DOOBY DOOOOOOOO hey it was on the radio verly! odd ive never had a problem picken up 96.3 before so the antena must not be all the way in the radio... i know it was tight, i guess i need to find the rear clip and unclip that antena wire to give me afew more inches of wire. i didnt think of it yesterday.
i was to busy reinstalling my radio/system and helping my dad and cousin replace 2 doors on our house. still replacing them today
theres alot of work involved in widening some doors, expetialy when your house has a stone exterior

later today or tomorrow ill do some SPLmeter testing and see how loud i can get this little 15

ok well new day more work, new plugs and RP oil change. tho i have noticed afew new things that need work. WORST.... im leaking brake fluid and it looks like its coming from a rear line looks like above the fuel tank or at least above the tanks cover
so ill have to eventualy drop the tank fix the leak, but for now its kinda slow so im not to worried about it.
also the boot on the passenger side axle is ripped open so eventualy ill replace that axle with a new one.
and last thing so far is the oil pan definatly took a hit at sometime and tho it doesnt leak it sure doesnt look good being punched in alittle so eventualy ill have to replace it with a new one.


also before oil change/tune up i got 35.6mpg from it. sounds real good so far! my 99ex typicaly got 28-30mpg, and 36mpg strictly highway mileage.
still no AC tho, so im sure as soon as i get the ac working the milage will drop some depending on actual use.
