BD's 2000 Explorer Limited

So I thought this was funny, Brian...

I bought a $170 fuse yesterday...

So basically, you installed $170 worth of speakers, turned the key on, and...

I think that's called karma?

 

[BrianDye]

LMFAO! That was priceless!

You know... I saw this coming....
Lol. Good on though, Joe.


And Brian is not 19, clearly he's 12.

And I got all my Orions for $170 (all 4)
And that's with 2 year warranty
Mickey Shorr was running a dea; on them $69 or $79 for a set of 2 I think.

You have the Orion XTRs, right? 5x7 center tweeter

 

[BrianDye]

Yea I think they're the same. I got mine for 39.99$
But I only had like 60$ on me at the time

 

[BradR]

What. I got ripped off, this is bull crap.. :-\

You sir are correct. Black; SE; Sync; Hatchback...

Tomorrow shes getting all the tails tinted, and im throwing my Kicker TC10 in there. That "80 watt premium" system is junk. I mean it hits the mids and highs great, but bass above normal listening level sucks. The speakers "boom" too easy if that makes sense?

I love that little car though, I feel like im driving a go-cart

(Its for my mom though, im selling the LS, and before anyone tries to stir anything up, I HAVE discussed ALL the problems it has. This girl doesnt care about a damn thing as long as she can get the car home she said, shes in love with it but shes not gonna make it out til this week sometime.)

My moms gonna use it for work and going to the store and whatnot and I get it at night.

(Still have my Explorer though, couldnt ever sell that beast)

The 302 feels SO much nicer after you get used to a little 4 cyl. 1.4L

 

[BradR]

Very nice, how much for that there LS, exactly?

In your thread on that Fiesta forum, you say you leased it, make sure you don't do any mods you can't undo (cheaply).

Good luck with the Fiesta, and last night, Friday, I was gonna call you for Old Country Buffet "car show" but it got rained out, and it doesn't look like I'm going to go tonight either, but maybe next weekend, lol.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I'd have driven over for the OCB.

I've been known to close OCB's down early, like an alcoholic in a bar...

 

[lynchy wa]

...Did someone call my name? mumble mumble mumble never mind

 

[BrianDye]

Lmao Joe...would you ever stop by though in all seriousness?

But Brad, we just sold the LS today for 2500$ and the kid gave us a 42" Panasonic plasma for holding it (I have a 55" in my room though so the 42" is momma's

We "leased" it, but were gonna buy it at the end of the lease, I for sure know we'll be very much over our miles (35k, 2 years)

God its so nice to just be able to cruise around and not see your gas gauge creeping towards E...20$ in this car gets me half a tank which shows up on the trip computer as about 270 miles til E

 

[BrianDye]

Brad, now that I have M-F off every week, im gonna bust ass on finishing my truck (Bumper, rust spots, work on my headlights, finish the interior)

Im also gonna take a stab in the dark and attempt to fiberglass my sub box, so I can paint it a really glossy black.

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

hey brian u gonna put an exhaust on the fiesta

 

[BrianDye]

You know ive been thinking of things todo to it, and im probably just gonna leave the exhaust how it is. It already sounds good, and appearently theres not many good mufflers out for them yet. (Ive read quite a few who loose all low end or all high end torque after swapping mufflers)

I might have some tips put on, but nothing ricer, just a set of chrome 2" or so. (The mufflers right at the back, with 2 plain tips coming out, ugly IMO.

 

[CDW6212R]

Brian, is there a computer flasher/tuner you can buy for the Fiesta yet? The reason people lose low end power is because increasing exhaust size leans the engine. The lower restriction lets the engine pump more air, and the computer cannot compensate completely for big changes to the exhaust.

If you get a new program for the engine, then the program can be made for a bigger exhaust, thus no loss of low end power.
