Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Nice car *Ahem* I mean truck. No pretty sweet dude, good luck with the halfassed system. Generally the best way to go. That was in reference to the quality of product, not the quality of install. Thx. Colter, yea. Alpine IVA-D300. It's getting a little old though .. the pulse touch stuff isn't very effective anymore.. it's sorta like, dying or something. I got another headunit, it's not a tv though. Still Alpine. D: And no, WBS. This won't be selling. Who in their right might would buy a truck that gets 9mpg during THIS day and age? (Excluding me as I actually USE a truck.)

CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Did you sell the integra? If so.....how did I miss that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Did you sell the integra? If so.....how did I miss that? I sold it about two weekends ago. Was in my "build" thread in the Integra forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh...gotcha. I lose track of all the different build threads, so I must have missed that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yea it's not like it was ages ago. Just recently. I got more than I paid for it so it wasn't all bad. I'll just divert the rest of my vehicle oriented funding towards this to see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When gas hits $12/gal in a couple weeks, you'll want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 When gas hits $12/gal in a couple weeks, you'll want to sell. You seriously don't comprehend how little I drive my personal vehicle. In 6 months I'd only put 1,000 miles on the Integra. Same will apply for the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Gez where do you work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I do heating and air. 95% of the time I'm in a service vehicle. I run my errands on lunch so that I don't have to leave at night unless it's for leisure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I should note .. The RWD and the fact that it generates loads of torque is an added bonus. It's pretty fun to drive for a truck. All I have to do is go 3/4 throttle and sorta twist the wheel and it starts spinning. lolololol. Gonna' be an expensive playtoy. I figure I might as well focus my money on one vehicle ..

Ben. Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Truck is being picked up tomorrow from a full blown tune up by a friend who's a tech at one of the Ford dealerships in town. Might clean it up and snap some pictures of it permitted I'm not stuck working all day tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 yaaay tune-up I can't wait now hehe I wanna see the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'm hoping it can do better than 9mpg after practically everything under the hood that can be replaced IS. Not performance adding, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 what will it go up to? 13 mpg? hehe not being a smart-a**...just asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'd hope so. My last H-D F150 had an m112 blower setup that had been installed somewhere during it's lifetime and IT got 13/15mpg. This one is N/A. I should have never let go of the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I see... well, but this one is fun to drive and looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 It is my intentions to have it sitting down low be it airbagged or a drop kit before the end of the year. Also plan on doing a little work under the hood. We'll see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'm excited to read about it as you update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Updates will probably be sparse. I intend on trying to move at the end of summer. We'll see how that works. It's hard as hell to find a place down south right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
