Well, finally after 10 years of looking thru a cracked windshield I got a new one. It only cost me 158.00 which I thought was a good price and they came to my house.
Realized my car needs a lot more love than I've got time to give it.. Wheels are peeling and corroded, pads and rotors SUCK, all the rust holes are only getting bigger and my camber and alignment are off.
Today though, I pulled the caliper guide pins to clean with the abrasive pad grinder, grease and reinstall. I'll be getting free warranty replacement Wagner pads soon but I really should do the rotors and bearings at the same time.
Rotated the tires, removed the IAC valve to soak in some MMO, retested the tps, guess I didn't move it far enough before because it came out of adjustment again, so I re-adjusted it and retested, tightened it down, and tested again.
Installed my htchbck rebuilt front hubs, all inner & outer tie-rods along with boots, 2 new front tires, front end alignment, & finally some horribly cheap wheel covers.
Just ordered a new Pioneer head unit and 6.5" speakers for the doors. Finally came up with some extra cash and got annoyed by my current head unit, just rear speakers/sub, and right-channel-only fm transmitter.
The new deck is digital with bluetooth, aux and fm (no disc player). Now to find time to install it before I start working 50 hours a week and take 6 credit hours for the summer lol
If you remove the door panels, you will find cutouts that will hold the 6.5 speakers. Both my cars have/will have them in the doors. I'm using Kicker 6.5's in the doors with a Pioneer radio. Sound is very good. My silver 90 has a 10" sub and together they shake the car with a little over 150 watts total power.
I don't have door speakers, I have the 2 in the back and it looks like I'm supposed to have 2 more in front on each side of lower dash.....?
If you don't mind cutting holes in your door cards, and drilling screw mounting holes, then running wires through to the doors, you can mount them there. It looks like they planned on having door speakers, but never went through with it.
You can just stick with 4" speakers in the stock locations, but I feel 6 1/2" speakers give allot better bass, and sound overall than any 4" speaker can give.
Went to jy with Karl and pulled some wrong parts but got some correct ones too. Anyway got home and started on engine mounts again. Got it lined up and where I want it. Now to start cutting, bending, and welding.
