   Hows it Sound?

   Hey guys, This is my first car I've ever worked on. Im 20 yrs old going to Cal Poly. Bought the car in November 2005. Its a 3/74 260z. Didn't run good, flat tops, suspension was gone, brakes were gone, and the paint was faded and oxidized. How does she sound? The engine clip has a large knocking you can hear, I know its cuz the air lid isn't on and the hose that connect up to the bottom on the back plate makes the noise. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4896065304379408623 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4802243828980094343

   I'm thinking about putting a 12 sub in my spare tire well. What I would like to do is install the speaker in wood and screw in down in the well. I would also install sound deadening. Has anyone done this and what is the Sound quality . Or would it be better to build a box to fit down in the speaker tire well and.

    My friend who is a PERFECTIONIST has 72 Z with a Chevy 350 in that is going to be listed on Ebay in the next week or so. It is not finished BUT it has some great work completed on it. The engine and exhaust are out of this world. He has Wantanabes on it along with the gauges being all aftermarket. My friend refuses to cut corners and that is why he has not yet finished the car. I believe he will want $10K or so for the car and I believe it is worth every dime, he has many JDM parts(that he collected while living in Japan for 18 years 80s and 90s) that he is going to sell as well. Let me know what you are interested in and I will see if he has it and how much. Get t…
