New Car on the forums

[LAXstar47]

hey everyone, been part of the site but never got a chance to post about my car. I did take pictures before I left for college but my scanner at home decided not to work so i'm sorry but pictures will have to wait. I've had the car since the summer before junior year of high school which is 2 years now.

Here is what i've already done to the car in order:

15% tint on all 5 windows
Special Weapon R CAI
2 12' MTX 5500 thunder subs
2000W mtx mono amp
Complete Dyno Mat set-up in the trunk
Pioneer head unit
Borla cat-back exhaust
S&S headers (ceramic finish)
S&S cat converter
Cobra radar detector


My future plans in order of which I plan to buy:

In Pro chrome tail lights
077 eagle 18' chrome rims
Andy's autosport body kit
sc/t hood
replace all speakers, gunna try and put 5.25 components in the front


well i know you have nothing to look at, but to be honest it looks similar to almost every car on the site.

has anyone else had any problems with putting 5.25in speakers in the front doors being that the stock are 4x6?

Front door speakers can be modified with metra adapters from a cavy.... don't remember the number tho. I have a spare set laying around, will allow 5 1/4 and 6 1/2 to be mounted.

Car sounds nice! Pictures? You should get a tune from mpracing, it will really wake the car up.

i did get a pcm from jet actually but i don't like the way it is slamming my transmission around so i didn't even mention that i put one in.

ya get mp racing's pcm. i got it and i love it. it was the best money iv spent performance wise on this car so far. it makes the trans almost fun to deal with.

That's not actually a PCM (Powertrain Control Module). It's just a piggyback black box, and no it doesn't work very well. I'd yank it out if it's still in there.

Unless you find a used set, Eagle 077's are no longer produced and sold.

And don't destroy your car by putting that flimsy, ugly, piece of sh1t Andy Autsports Kit on your car. That thing is a focking abomination.

I agree. While some of the other newer kits out now are even more hideous, the andy's kit needs a lot of work to even look decent, and they are known for fitment problems. You're better off getting the SC/T kit or RK sport kit, or just leaving it stock with some nice accents for the sleeper look.

[PhantomLover007]

SC/T and MPR for the win Bob!!! lol lol

[LAXstar47]

ok i plan on ordering this mpracing pcm by the weekend. Someone who already has it, wat is the dificulty of installation on it? and says when ordering to give a PCM Serv #, where exactly do I find this?

and... it says to specify the size of your cat-back exhaust, i honestly have no idea, it is the borla exhaust if anyone has a clue and could tell me

[LAXstar47]

also how exactly do you just "rip out" my jet pmc. like if i were to just disconnect all the wires would it return to 'stock' settings?

[PhantomLover007]

The Serv # is on the white paper on the stock PCM. You should be able to see it w/o having to take out the PCM.
