/ Phase 2

[pixelhaus]

moving along with phase 2.

tails...

bezel and rings...

HUD

Laser jammer + nice billet plate giving props!

Gotta have the key and the pager alarm

Finally got the sub enclosure made. Went with a 1/2" plexi top to serve and protect (serves as a reflector for the bass. sounds fantastic).
since i had the plexi, i thought it might be interesting to run small leds to illuminate the rim. The box isn't the best, but it works for me.

pushing is a lot easier than turning...

...and last but DEFINITELY not least

...and

can't wait to get them on. the other two should be in tomorrow.
couldn't wait to share. i thought they look sweet off of the car.

thanks for looking.

A lot of nice additions. The wheel/tire combo look WIDE! Are you going widebody? Post more pics of the car and its stages when you can.

 

[pixelhaus]

yes, gone widebody.
that was phase one.

let's see if we calculated the offsets right. tomorrow i'll know if they fit.
they better!

 

[matteni]

Wow - looks like some cool/interesting mods lately. You must love your car as much as you hate your wallet!

I bet they will sell a bunch of NSXpo tickets just to check out your ride!

James, which widebody? Pics?

Marga fender/quarters

Out of curiosity, what offsets did you go with?

BTW, you need to drive your car more--only 989 miles

that was my little 'easter egg' to see how many people paid attention.
there's A LOT more miles than that.
add about 100k.

good catch though

315/25 19 that's very wide and low! What widths are you going with in the front and rear? That's going to be one hot setup..can't wait to see the pics.

 

[loNfastNSX]

Where did you mount the sub? Your set up looks very clean. Keep us posted.

A+++++

 

[pixelhaus]

sub is mounted in the passenger footwell. same as everyone else.
i'll get specs on the wheels later.
should have them on today if the other 2 come in.

James is the King of (tasty) Bling !

How did you mount the front laser shifters? I ended up building a 3/8" titanium tubing bar that ran across the radiator opening just below the bumper. It mounts on the pair of 6M threaded brackets that sit behind the 'divider' stiffener. Works pretty well and looks cool!

Tires look PHAT! Can't wait to see pics of the rolling car!

funny that you should ask!
on the old bumper i had them mounted on brackets in the center opening.
on the new bumper, my bodyshop used super double stick and zip ties. when the dealer took off my bumper, they neglected to replace the zip ties and next thing you know i'm dragging one of the sensors down the road. sucks.
i think i caught it early enough to prevent serious damage. i took the fronts off for the time being and will re install soon. i'd like to see your technique! send pics!

 

[titaniumdave]

Here are some pics. Damn my car is dirty, have not washed since last weekends rain, yuk. Looks so much worse in a photo!

 

[titaniumdave]

Close up of the bracket.

 

[pixelhaus]

very cool. i'll try to do something like that when i get them back on.
thanks for the pics!

 

[dynatac]

james - some vey nice upgrades.


how long have you had your ZR3 shifter though?
are you using it as a stand alone unit or connecting it to another Escort product (passport 8500 etc)?

i'm just wondering how well it works and what your opinon of it is as i have thought of getting one.

thanks

 

[stevenlee]

Is the ZR3 shifter a laser jammer or a detector? I'm looking for a stealthy detector system for front and back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also I'm very interested inthe the Heads Up Display. Where can I get more info? How do you like it?

thanks,

Steve

ZR3 Shifter

I have been running the Escort 8500 with the ZR3. I have been happy with the set up and how clean everything looks installed. I have had a few false alarms with the Laser jammer, but no tickets.

If you are starting fresh, I would look at the Valentine. Both units test out very simular, but the Valentine has the direction arrows on it, and I have had many times where I would love to have a better idea where the police are hiding.

 

[titaniumdave]

ZR3 is a jammer with detectors/senders front and rear.

The 8500 has a detector to tell you to stop and get your ticket.

Do you have a better pic of you center consel? What is if carbon fiber? If so how is the fit and quality? Where did you get it?
