Official Introduction of bartlett608

[bartlett608]

So I have been on here for a while now, about since I bought my car new in September of last year. Well now almost a year and over 20000 miles later I decided that I was happy enough with my car to post some pictures. Everything on my car was done by myself. Most of it just to keep me happy with the car, I have a nasty habit of trading in cars (20 years old, this is car #5)

Here is the list off the top of my head of mods to date:

Custom cold air intake (remove resonator and run piping from bottom of air box to front grill pipe I installed)
Painted lower lip on bumper flat black.
Debadged with the exception of the front bowtie, added custom badge to hatch (my business logo for A Customs)
Removed the last muffler and replaced it with straight pipe. (this and the airbox gave me 5mpg better on the first tank)
Cut springs (1 coil in the rear 1.25 coil in the front)
Drag DR19 wheels (15" 40mm offset, wrapped in kumho rubber)
Painted front calipers a custom mix of ice blue paint, rear drums painted black.
Custom shortened shift lever (cut the factory and reused all parts to appear stock)
Stereo system (upgraded to OEM cd player from am/fm radio, replaced rear speakers with 5.25" rounds, 1 10" sub)
Custom trunk floor with sub box built in (spare tire still accessible)
Heated Driver seat

To do list:
Tint windows
Tint taillights
Custom Interior
Silver racing stripe (still only at a maybe on this one.

SO heres some pictures for you guys to enjoy.



If you look closely, you can see the intake where the fog light would go.

I like it! What size are the 15" wheels and the tires? They look very good.

The wheels are 15" with a 40mm offset, and I think the tires are either 215/40 or 205/40 I cant remember right now.

Thanks I am very happy with it. I did it this way because I still wanted a spare tire and usable trunk space. That little ten thumps a lot more than I was expecting. I had to turn it way down from what I first thought was gonna be good. I started the trunk and stereo project at 9am this morning, and was cleaning up by 2:30. I did full wiring for the amp, wired in a line converter, installed the rear speakers and the sub, and made the floor and sub box in about 5.5 hours. Not a bad day in my book.

I havent noticed it much. I know that thing is flimsy when the hatch is open, but it kinda gets sandwiched in there when it closes so its not so bad. Plus now I just have those speakers running mids and highs so its not bad at all. I was gonna make that part today as well while I was at it but I got lazy lol.
