Today I installed the 6 1/2 on the front doors, came out pretty nice!

Finally got to do some work on the FD. I relocated the coils today also made some custom MSD wires.

So yesterday I was changing the alternator pulley and the water pump pulleys and notice that the alternator bracket was wiggling a little so I tried to tighten the bolt, BAD IDEA the sucker snapped. I don't is going to be hard to take out because 1/4" of the bolt is sticking out of the iron. I'm going to use some Micro GrabIt to take it out. Leason learn do not trust your old ### bolts. I order new Stainless Steel hardware from Himni Racing to replace 80% of the bolts & nuts on my engine.

Does Himni have a kit or something? That would be something I'd be interested in.

Yes, the master kit cost around $86 + shipping http://www.himni-racing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=229_187_190&products_id=1806

Awesome! Thanks Eduardo! Ordering it tonight

Oooh that's not a bad idea. I may get that if I rebuild my engine again LOL.

I ordered the bolt kit Eduardo posted plus some engine mounts. Himni charged me $30 bucks to ship them!! Are you kidding! Two stupid little poly pucks and some bags of hardware? Combined they can't weight more than 6lbs. Oh well, hopefully it's worth it.

VRx8 · Postby **VRx8** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:14

Yeah I was kind of pissed about the shipping cost too.

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:14

Yeah I hate that too, but it's a common tactic. That's why most of the time I take shipping into consideration when I'm pricing stuff out, because something might be way cheaper somewhere and then rape you with shipping costs, making it more expensive than another place. But for things that you can't find too many places, it kinda locks you in.

Eduardo, how are those 6 1/2 speakers working for you? I remember Frank telling me about those a while back, and I've been thinking about them more. I wouldn't mind doing those. What brand speaker is that? I don't remember, do you have Bose or anything else in there for rear speakers?

Also, did you get the CAS holder from Full Function?
