Hello everyone!

I've searched for a while now and found this forum. It has had some pretty useful info for me so far. Glad to be part of it now as well.

Here is a pic of my car:


That's how it looked when I first got it.

Now, the reason for the tremclad paint. On a local forum here in the city someone posted up a website of a guy that professionally paints cars and bikes with tremclad rust paint and a roller. Well this guy tried it out on my car..didn't work out so well but oh well.

Mods so far. Went to junk yard and pulled a 60/40 split out of a sport model. Wanted to get a tach cluster from the car but it was already taken. Other mods are a generic cold air intake for a civic I believe. Was hard to fit but I made it work just had to remove every bit and piece of the stock intake.

And my latest mod is my ractive muffler. Sounds nice n deeeeep.

The car is a 1.5L 5-speed.

And my favourite bit. The day I bought it, put a stereo in lol. Running 3 10's in a ported box with a huge amp. Installed all aftermarket mids n tweets as well. Also sound deadoned the entire base of the trunk and the trunk lid with one layer of peel n stick. Gotta do a second layer soon although one took the tin can sound away.

Lemme know what you think!

you know i believe the term for this is I have the ricer special done to my car. CAI lmao do u have a k&n air filter? if not chances are u'd do better w. stock air box, ractive muffler...my car sounds better w. a chopped exhaust then w. a big ricey muffler....and this forum is mainly for the 3rd gen csm's but welcome anyways

second layer just do one layer of dynomat and u'd be fine.....i ran one kicker L7 15" on 1500watts and it sounded great loud as f^*k 142.6db's and only my roof was deadend

I managed to get 146.7 db out of an 12" L7 in my 91 Laser-with mic under dash, kicker 500.2 amp (~715 rms with power sheet) and trunk /hatch dynomatted IIRC, that was on an outlaw spl meter.

we're on topic just not his haha, 146.7 damn i wish i would see those numbers in the colt but the amp i was running probly didn't about 650 rms it was a qlogic err qreferencei don't remember amp

Well, first I need to upgrade my alternator. I'm running a hardcore riprock 500d so it appreciates extra juice.

And the sound deadoning only cost me $30can to do entire trunk so I'll do 2 layers.

And a sawed off exhaust did sound nice but too high pitched for my liking and too loud. And what else are you supposed to puy on a CAI? A stock square filter? LOL

Just get yourself the needed mandrel bends for your routing and plumb you maf to that, you may have to extend the maf plug wires as well.
