I got tired of the sunroof headliner sagging down and always tucking it into itself, and the little black foam dust trying to blind me and ruin my interior. So spent a few hours by pulling out my front seats covered my steering wheel/knob etc and scraped all the foam adhesive crap off.






It's just black metal for now but i'll fix that once I have time to do the entire headliner. Then I deep cleaned and put it all back together followed by a wash!














Now that I can actually use my sunroof, its getting nasty and starting to rain now. wish I had a garage lol.

Finally got my door cards back on after lubing the power window mechanisms. Both windows now work smoothly and quietly. Bought wiper blades for all three wipers at Wal Mart for under twenty bucks (Anco) which I thought was a good deal.

Made a short ram intake out of intake piping I had from a civic and a filter I had laying around. Just need to make a heat shield and should be good to go!

Default Just replaced headunit and rear speaker.... need advice

Hey ya'll I need some advice... what would be a good aftermarket speaker to use to replace the front mid speakers near the floor? OEM part number is:
65138370936

these are pretty shot... didnt realize that all speaker needed replaced...

but there has got to be something that I can wire into this existing speaker system without blowing that on board amp? and not get OEM, is my intention..

maybe there is a just right method to replace these old speakers with something better?

It's a 5.25" speaker. You can pull out your existing speakers and take them to a Car Toys or other stereo shop in order to compare/test fit for accurate size. The trick is to get the right depth.

You can use 6.5" speakers if you are willing to modify the openings a bit. Just use a dremel to to make a series of radial cuts outward from the openings, then push the sheet metal outward until the speaker fits. Your oem radio will handle the larger speakers just fine. John

Pumped up the tires to 48 PSI and hooked it up to a Battery Tender.

It's going to sleep until Thanksgiving break. I have plans to fix a little bit every break from school I have, then a big project with it in the summer. It may even get new paint then.
