"Today" I installed a new 2 DIN android unit, speakers front and rear, an amp, sub and remote keyless alarm system. Only thing left is to carpet the sub box I made.

This looks awesome! I've been itching to do new speakers in my vette, I upgraded the stereo to a nice double din Pioneer Bluetooth unit that I like but I need to do the speakers. I used to be huge into car audio in the early 2000's I swear it was the thing to do! I still have some 10 inch subs sitting around and I want to put one in my vette. What size is the sub you have and what do you think of the pioneer speaker sound quality ?I'm debating on whether on not I want to do a whole pioneer setup.

I don't get radio installs at all. I've done lots of research, and it's like trying to understand what my cat is telling me.

I really like the sound of Pioneer separates especially for the price. These new ones in front are their top of the line at the moment and they sound OK, but their bass handling is awesome. As a whole, very pleased with how it turned out. The Kenwood is a 10" and that's a sealed box. There are bigger, badder subs out there for more money but this one is very good. Lot's of thump, especially with that MTX. One thing I didn't mention is that I also installed one of these on the channel driving the sub. Works great and it's cheap as MTX wants $$$ for their built in xthunder volume controller. With that 10 I usually have it turned up halfway or less

Installed 383 throttle body plate. Now if the rain would stop, I'll install the electric cutouts in the exhaust.

Thanks.. I appreciate that.

It is kinda all over the place.. Little here.. Some there..

Let me take a wild guess. Did you rebuild the trans?

It's been sitting in the garage covered for almost 3 weeks.

I snagged my Ex's son some furniture when my Aunt passed away last month, and waiting for him to pick it up.
I have been busy, and by the time I get home I don't feel like moving stuff to get the car out.
And don't want to put it behind the car and have them take a mirror off carrying a dresser by the car !

I'm hoping to hear something this weekend...... some nice weather coming this week.

I don't think I have put 200 miles on it this yr. yet.
It has just over 23k on it, and I have been contemplating selling it.
I recently had a MRI done on my back and was told to follow up with a neurosurgeon.....
Part of the reason I'm not moving the furniture around to get the car out, and the low miles this summer.

Recently cured my Code 36 with a new BO relay. Pretty simple job once the battery is out of the way...

Just finished installing new three-piece air dam component set...always one damn rusted screw on each side...
OEM center section was pretty well distorted and beat up so decided to do the entire set.

But it's done and hope coolant temps will run a little lower now.

I was fortunate enough to score a pair of used Watsons from a member on the ZR1Netregistry. Perfect fit, no steering shaft issue and they have the AIR injection fittings in place for emissions visual from the top..
