well, its stock, haha, except for i think the rims. get some fogs if you can, definitley looks nicer and they will be OEM so it will look clean. how much modding do you plan on doing?

what kinda rims are they anyway?

I believe that they are the OEM GXE wheels.

I have plans for her, just no cash as of the moment

first up, a headunit, amp and subwoofer, then I'm replacing the LEDs in the controls on the locks and window switches, then hopefully gettin an SE gauge overlay so I can brighten it up with Busta's walk through.

Engine wise, first a CAI, maybe an exhaust dunno

Rims are coming....I'm getting Enkei OR52's 18'' wrapped in 235/40 Hankook's

Down the road...HIDs from the guy on ebay known as Perfomance Depot or maybe from someone on the org

Damn straight! Just wait until you get to approximate step functions for PID loop tuning

Good luck with you work on the Max - just be patient with everything. When you start to do your LEDs, you will find a good write up in the HOW-TO stickies. Make sure you get your LEDs on Ebay as they are alot cheaper. I or many other members will tell you how to do the backdoor LED switches as they are not in the sticky. I added some steps to the instrument cluster HOW TO, so check that out when you get a chance. And finally, check out caraudio.com with regards to information on building a system. After spending some time there I found that I was WAY wrong with all of my previously concieved notions. Good luck with school and the Max...

...and be sure to take pics of the Max, they grow up so fast!

Oh, I've already had the pleasure of tuning a PID controller without taking that particular course, gotta love co-op'in at a drug company, my boss just said "yea we installed these 4 new starch kettles, here's what they gotta do, here's the instruction book to the controllers, make it happen"

took me about 6 weeks, but i got it...lol


busta, i forgot to bookmark ur cluster write up, could you hit me with a link?

Scorp, I forgot to mention the Tint, yes i intend on tinting the windows, and im definitely getting clear bumper lights, the front end i want takes the side markers away so might not need them just yet

Just click on my name, follow it to the homepage. Oh, and kudos on your controller programming.

What program did you use to tune the PID loops? We use RS Logix 5000 and everything, unfortunatley, has to be done in real-time

I don't like where I am co-opin now, I wanna work in the pharmaceutical biz when I graduate, not plastics, but I needed some Manufacturing experience, it still sucks ***** though

and ill be sure to keep takin pics, the max is just so damn sexy...
