I saw it once before on State coming back from somewhere.... I took a picture of it then too but I can't find it now (probably can) but it was a chick driving it before. now it's a guy.
 
Sorry to bug you guys again but I wanted to post in here one more time just for convenience sake... does ANYONE want to get the Machs that I'm trying to sell??? $400 is my final/best price -I'm acutally losing money on these now. PM if you're interested or know anyone who might be, thanks. -Derek
 
box and panels all carpeted. left to do: finish up wiring, screw sub into box, screw amp to side panel, tune.

It looks sick. I had my camera with me last night but I decided I was so close to being done I would just give you some finished product pics. We will have it finished up Friday night or Saturday (can't work on it the next couple nights).
 
i can't wait to see this!!
how many hours do you think this project has taken?
it doesn't sound like you've had any hang ups.

you're the best, around! nothing is ever gonna keep ya down, cuz you're the best AROUND!
Karate kid.
 
not sure on time....probably between me and my dad 15-20 hrs each...but once again it was our first time building a box and panels so it was a pretty slow process. Its been a pretty smooth process, a little extra trimming here and there but never any "oh crap, start over" moments.
 
btw Darren if that bike of yours is still in your possession in a year or two I'd still want to take it off your hands. I know that's not very encouraging, but..... well, I already have one I can't do a thing with, and now I still may end up with two cars (albeit the older turbo 626) and no where to really park/store my stuff for that long without breaking the bank at a storage unit.

not to mention..... I know a very TINY bit on how to ride, but I don't have any gear, nor the license or MSF class to go with it. and THAT stuff I know I can't afford right now, even if I didn't build the spi like I'm going to do. (OH yeah I changed my mind again.....no reason why I should spend 1,200 on a zetec swap only to spend about the same building it when I could just put that much into it and wait for a turbo.)

also tried to crank the old 626 today........ I can't believe it, the stupid fuel pump went out on it AGAIN! we just replaced it 7-8 months ago and the last time I did anything with it was about 6 months ago. hmm.

BUT I won't be getting a truck though, I know that. This good ol 4 door hatch back 626 from the late 80's is a five speed 2.2L turbo intercooled thingamajig that will fit a disassembled motorcycle in it. [hihi]
 
^^ I must agree Vince.....lol. that seems to be a rice magnet.

OH and sad story...... I got freakin out-gunned by a stupid Isuzu flatbed cab today. sure ok it's a 6.0L Chev V8 but STILL. must have thought I was trying to race him cause of my loud exhaust if I give it gas. haha. I was just trying to get ahead of him.
