[Project] Slow Motion...

[AJ]

20's later down the road.

the ones i have now are a little foggy and yellow'ish, the clear ones look better IMO and i need replacements anyway

[ZQ8 Blazer]

you can polish the yellow out of the lights.

Here's the euro headlights like I have:

[AJ]

oh, i mush have gotten euros confused with somethin else cause those are what i want. those have the corners, i guess i could sell mine....

those are next to be purchased, thanks

[ZQ8 Blazer]

They sell them on Ebay by themselves too.

[AJ]

oh alright then, when i get moved ill be orderin them

I be getting these headlights
check my thread in interior: "dash cover"

[ZQ8 Blazer]

That's like the ones I have

why do you want me to check out the dash thread?

where ya moving to?

[AJ]

need an opinion on the dash cover, im gonna start painting my interior but i dont like having only the dash bezel painted and other small things, i want the whole thing one solid color with accents.

im moving down to Louisiana to start school at LSU

[ZQ8 Blazer]

I don't like the covers theres a how to in the paint forum on how to paint the vinyl dashes

[AJ]

oh alright, ill take a look...
200 seemed like alot for the cover anyway

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Yeah where I live they'd do all the vinyl for that

[AJ]

yeah, i figure ill get it painted professionally.
after seeing this, i cant wait to get my dash and panels painted.

not sure whos it is but its freakin amazing and pretty much how i seem my interior except for some blue accents

[AJ]

uh, so Im is Bossier City, LA now all settled in. that was a different experience, drivin in the truck lowered...afriad that id hit, man.

Well, I really noticed how puny the little 2.2 is. I just wanted to know if there are any little mods I can start with for performance or to make it even sound better?

Anyways, Ill be lookin around to get a quote on painting the interior, cant wait.

[mrkenny]

you can throw some stuff in the motor like intake, or a throttle body spacer. they help...

PLEASE pretty please don't put exhaust on that beautiful truck! it'll make it sound like shit

[AJ]

alright cool, got a certain site where it may be cheaper?
stylin has an air intake kit for $280 and a throttle body spacer for $107

i wont put an exhaust on the truck, lol...thanks for the heads up

[AJ]

still need alittle help with the intake and throttle body spacer...
wheres the best place to get em?

[mrkenny]

summit for the throttle body spacer... i'd go with an airraid one...

ebay for the intake!

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Ebay for everything, the generic intakes are pretty much the same thing as the expensive ones.

TB spacer will make a sound and that's about it.

How many miles are on it? Is it an auto or stick?

I'd drop a 4.3 in it though.

As said before DO NOT put an exhaust on it, at most put a turn down top on it.

[AJ]

NO exhaust haha, already got a turndown tip on it with the cut pipes

this a good intake?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...3302616592 90

so the spacer wont really do anything but make it sound better?

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Yeah that intake is fine, mine isn't polished and I gave $15 for it
no the spacer will just make a whistle noise.

[AJ]

alright cool, ill order that now then.
well idont really want my truck to whistle...so whats the point in it? haha oh well.....

[slammdsonoma38]

truck looks great man. i love the paint

[AJ]

The point is that they claim you'll get better MPG and you'll give them money. I've had 3 and I like the sound they make, but I wouldn't pay more than $30 for one. It doesn't whistle all the time, just when you give it a lot of gas, like around 2,000 rpm's

[AJ]

alright, thanks for the info..i think i can go without it...

[AJ]

got the intake installed, get pics up tomm. maybe...gotta clean it out a bit first, haha.

it sounds like a tuner when i rev or accelerate alittle faster, not sure its supposed to but it was interesting, didn't know it would sound so much different...

[zachmartin83]

ive got an exhaust on mine and it doesnt sound shitty.
i got it down when i was about to bag it since it had to be turned down.
are you going to get kyle to paint the inside?

[AJ]

eh, i want to get him to paint it but i moved down to LA for school.
my family still lives up there so maybe i could do it during a break but other then that im not too sure. id have to contact him, but it might take too long to get it over break so i might just have to wait till summer...

[AJ]

Got a few pics of the truck and cleaned engine bay...
the Mustang is my uncles....














all these people comin through my thread without leavin and comments...haha, leave your opinions please!

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Really like the intake man. Seeing the truck in those pics makes it look a lot better for some reason IMO, I really love the two-tone, but still say shave the gate and paint the handles to match.

But before you do any of that tell your uncle to drive his car into a river.

[AJ]

yeah, i like the intake too. yeah, the colors really showed up pretty good in these pic. LA sun? haha...nah, im gonna keep the chromes, i think it sets the paint well.

ahaha, the stang isnt that bad man, whats wrong with it? its his thing...just like we like minis, he likes his stangs, lol

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Well around here people that drive Stangs, cruise around in 1st gear and act like a stock one w/ flowmasters are the fastest things in the world. We call mustangs "assholes" here, cause that's generally who owns one.

I've never worked on a Mustang, but I have on two other Fords, and my oh my they are the worst vehicles I've ever worked on. We had to get underneath the vehicle to add freon to the a/c system and the window motors do not run on gears, they use little cables with plastic pulleys, I've seen two fail on one car so far.

oh and it'd be some work on your vehicle, but I'd paint the inside of the fenders and firewall either flat black or semigloss since it's not the same color as the exterior. That's what I did on my green truck, it was originally white too.

[Kovz]

engine looks clean and the intake looks nice too. Matches well.

But what is that blue wire for? your stereo? I would put that in some black plastic covering... I forget what that stuff is called. The wire just sticks out too much. lol

[ZQ8 Blazer]

^Convoluted tubing

I just noticed that too, I'd just take it all out and run it from the drivers side to the passengers side under the dash then out through the firewall and under the computer.

[AJ]

Yeah, the blue wire is the power to my amp, I just ran it really quick and zip tied it outta the way. I'm gonna change it up when I get some time, maybe when I just get a new amp while I'm at it. I used that engine cleaning how to, turned out pretty good.

[AJ]

okay, so now that im settled, i wanna start my interior. i want to start with simple things first, chrome accents...i know theres a guy on here that chromes vents and everything but cant remember his name, any help there please?

any other ideas for little mods for interior?

pretty much still have the same plans:

Audio Plans:
-Add another 10" sub
-New Amp
-Get new custom box built for two 10's
-New head unit
-New door and dash speaker

Both of these plans will be coming along slowly but surely. So if you have anything that could help, feel free to suggest.
Keep watching my thread as I build it till I'm "done."

Thanks,

Antonio

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Hucko chromes stuff

I've installed both aftermarket and GM carpets and ofcourse GM fits with no modifications.

I've ran a bunch of different subs and I'll never buy anything buy an Audiobahn w/ aluminum cone. Good SQ and Bass.

I also wouldn't run anything buy a Pioneer CD player.

I have some 3 way Pioneer door speakers and love em.

Paint door handles.

[AJ]

thanks man.
i found Hucko and Trucks_69, they chrome the vents and stuff for a pretty good price.

where do i get the carpets? the gm or other aftermarket?

I'm pretty much set with what I want for audio. Nothing special...but you'll see.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

There was a guy on ebay selling new GM ones for $115, but that was last year. I mean an aftermarket isn't that hard, you've just got to trim them some.

S10whorehouse sells good used gm carpets on ebay.

oh yeah if you get one that has some stains on it all you have to do is pressure wash it(I'd do that on a used one no matter what) and let it dry all day in the sun and it'll look like new.

[fdimeroller]

nice truck
if ur really picky bout unimportant shit [like me] i'd search around for a blue airfilter for ur intake. the red filter is the 1st thing i noticed...

I'll go look at them on there, thanks man.

and thanks for the idea of a blue intake filter, not really too picky about it but it would def. look better to match.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

yeah I'd just go to Wal-mart and get some 99 cent rattle can paint and paint the filter, the fumes from the paint should give your 2.2 some added HP too, see everyone wins

hmmm, i think ill just buy the ten dollar filter...no work and it will match, haha...i win

[AK49BWL]

daaamnnnnnnn...... that was quick and it looks sick as hell

[AJ]

yep, so happy with the outcome! its a blast to drive, im not a person that wants much attention but the extra head turn makes ya feel good! haha

[AceHaag]

Truck looks great but I think it needs a v8 but that's just me

[dimerunner88]

werd a v8 is needed but other wise looks great

[AJ]

lol, v8...maybe in 10 years! psh....

[94 SS S10 4.3]

Very nice project bro, Love the two tone and wheels. Whats your future plans for engine? Bags? anything else besides interior work?

[AJ]

ehh, no engine plans in the near future...

ive been told not to bag this truck but after hangin out with a guy out here with a bagged dime (my first time seein a bagged truck) i really want some bags, playin with the switches is so fun...not sure yet but its a thought to get back here soon.

then obviously the interior work.
