Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
Is that 1/2" MDF? I built my box out of 5/8" MDF and it weighs a ton with only 1 outta the 2 sub's in it. I was debating on having a stereo in my car once I went KLZE to minimize on the weight....Kinda thought of doing something similar, but I want to be able to pull it all out only a couple easy steps. Looking good man, keep up the awesome job!

No, I went 3/4. I'm not too concerned about weight with this one as its my first build; more so for flash than speed. Next one I'll be more conscious of weight. 5/8 is good though for Amp racks and your main floor support. If you are doing like 8" subs you could go 5/8 too but I wouldn't do anything less than 3/4 for 10s and bigger. That is unless you go fiberglass. Then you could just stick with 3/4 mounting rings and be light as air. Plus, fiberglass, as long as its at least 1/8" thick, hit hard as hell. Fill with some light stuffing and you will bass deep. With the MX-3, I'm learning, its hard to get sub boxes built the way you want them in the trunk. I think I'm going to go fiberglass as well.Pritchett wrote:Is that 1/2" MDF?

At any rate, showed up to the house with these at my door.

Thanks to Night-Shade for the raised spoiler.
Allot of body work to do before she's put on.

Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
Always a pleasure to help out a fellow MX-3er. Nice to see it made it down alright, it was a tricky one to ship! Looking forward to seeing it on your car. On a side note, wow I've never seen an RS with a factory sunroof!

Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
I'm excited. This is the first foreign car I have ever fixed up in my entire life! Looking forward to getting it looking good.
Very cool! Hopefully I can do something really different with this one. Thanks again._-Night-Shade-_ wrote:Always a pleasure to help out a fellow MX-3er.

Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
Nothing new to report as of late. I've been working 7 days a week so I haven't had much time to do anything. Looks like I may at least have my new tires soon though. We will see. I'll keep you guys informed.

Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
Been doing a little body work bit by bit. Also bought 2 tires for my wheels and I will get the other 2 week after this one.

Re: Vecia's 1994 MX-3
Paint and clear is done. Just have to compound and blend the clear into the existing paint. Not bad for my first body repair.

Yup. Pinholes were avoided. Well, I had a couple but the self-etching primer took care of that.
