KobraII Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Ruf, with what I'm about to do is going to limit me to the back seat, no more folding them down and using the cargo area (nudge nudge). Had a conversation with my father during the race today. It went a little something like this: "Cliff, these the subs you were looking at? These Kicker's?" "Yeah, I was. But after my little mishap you said I can't have them anymore." "I never said that" To make a long story short (too late), I'm going to start saving my pennies to buy: 1 12" Kicker L5 Solo-Baric sub woofer with ported enclosure. Peak Power Capacity you ask? 1500 watts That, and I'm going to be getting the windows tinted as well. There's a deal around here, 4 doors for 175 bucks. People are telling me to get 90%, and I'm actually thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 1500 watts? I've got about 300 in the crib. You'll blow out your mirrors! Let's talk about horsepower. Give me your dad's cell number.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KobraII Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Lol, I don't think he'd like that. Speaking of horsepower, my father bought a ZX2 Escort to commute to work in, and he found a turbo kit for it... He says he'd get it if he had the cool grand to drop on it. He's still building the motor for my mom's Mountaineer. Nothing wrong with the motor in it now, just the timing chain is really worn out, and supposedly it could use a new motor anyway. Maybe I can snag the old Mountaineer motor, rebuild it, and put it in the Explorer EDIT: If tomorrow's a good day, I might go out and take some pics of the Explorer, and I might sneak in a few of my Cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KobraII Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Eh, it started raining at about 2 P.M. today, so pics are postponed till Friday. I'm actually thinking about going to two smaller sub woofers instead of one big one. The only amp I found to give me all the power I'll need is a 1800 Watt amp, and it'll cost me around 500 bucks. So if I get two smaller subs that use less power, then I can downsize to the 1000 Watt amp, and that'll only cost me around 200 bucks. Very Nice!

Bodyshop update!!! :banana piano: :happy feet: :banana piano: Just came back. All that's left is to re-paint the rear spoiler (my guy wasn't satisfied with it) and install the window louvers!! Front end is all back together - and looking good with the clear marker lenses and no GT emblems. Painted window/door trim is slilck. New striping tomorrow and alignment! And we gonna boogie, baby. :hyper: I borrowed a digital camera and will take some pics asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hey now, Dan! I'm trying reaaallll hard to remain calm. My baby got tore up pretty good - but I realized it gave me an op to take it to the next level. I think it's gonna come across as meaner - stronger - even more stealth - and sound like nothing but trouble! The guys at my Ford store will see it when I take it there to be aligned. I can't wait to see their reaction. The bodyshop gang loves it. Shoot - the paint guy apologized for not getting the left front fender "perfect" the first time! I wish I could have you with me when I take it for the first ride. It's not as fast as some of these Shelby's - but it makes up for that with how it looks and sounds, Daddy. I think I just may take Friday off and burn me some 93 octane! Maybe a ride to the beach. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks 90 - But I'm not into competition except at stoplights - in - a - straight - line for a while! No more circles... However - during our upcoming gathering on the Outer Banks - I don't think the Shelby guys will be losing ol' Ruf in any major way... As my grandaddy said, it's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man. You dig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KobraII Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hell yeah man. I think it will look a lot meaner, and sound it too. All black - all business, ya dig?

RUFDRAFT Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well - you're welcome to visit whenever you like. I'm sure I can gather up a few Mustangs to keep us entertained!
