CANCELLED! The damn Belvoir shop is having its floors redone, it doesnt open back up until next Wednesday. Guess theres always next weekend.....

 

yea im up for it ... for like a week i've taken my headers in and out ... and if you dont do it the right way your VDC and slip light will stay on ... where are you at .. im like 5 min away from belvoir (im army) and we could do all this.......**** at my crib i have everything we need here (even the dremel) PM me dude... and were having a meet at the high mart shopping center sponsered by mr transmission tomorrow! 10am ... be there or be square .. naw im buggin dude

 

I live literally 2 minutes from the back gate (gate down where River Village is). I live in a neighborhood called Yacht Haven.

I'd be there man, but I work this weekend, and wont be off until 5 each day...

 

i live in dumfries/manassas but i go down near ft belvoir every now and than, tell me what day and time and ill try to come help you ,plus i havent yet stripped into my Z yet so it will give me a good idea of things.

 

Well it will probably Saturday morning. I'm hoping I will have the car back by then. The exhaust is sitting on my floor right now, so I want to knock that out at the shop. It shouldnt take too long. I'll get there early to guarantee a lift.

After that, we can roll back to my house and try to do this install on the head unit, and if the dealer doesnt fix the wiring with my sound system, we might try that too. I'll order the dash kit and wiring harness on Monday. Either of you have experience with the audio in the Z?

 

electrical stuff i stay away from, but it shouldnt be all that hard and most of it is pretty self explanatory from what i learned when i took out my system from my previous car.

 

i did the speaker grill mod with umzzz a while back...i have alot of extra speaker mesh left if you need

 

Hell yeah that would be awesome! How far are you from either Alexandria or Andrews AFB?

 

I am in for the audio install. Anyone familiar with removing the console on a AT 06?

 

I installed my headunit a few months ago and i must say, audio in a Z is cake; just make sure to get a good quality dash kit is all. i went into best buy and was going to get one there b/c i was tired of waiting on my friend back home to send me one and ended up calling the guy that worked there a dumba$$ b/c he tried selling me a "universal" kit that i could tell would never fit properly. long story short i took my business elsewhere. as for the interior trim it is very simple. once you take the screws out of the center section you grab it from the top (behind the gauges) and pull forward and it all comes out as one unit (gauge pods and all). the trim kit should then screw into the back of that with the headunit as well and it all goes in as an assembly. it takes a little patience to get it up there but a good place to put the ground wire is above/on the dash reinforcement bar that rund near where the storage compartment goes. you will see a bunch of other ground wires there, just take out the 10mm bold that holds them in, add yours and tighten it back up. very simple car to work on, just don't do what the previous owner of mine did and try and pry the trim frm the front w/ a flat head screwdriver b/c all you do is scrape it up and break $hit! haha goodluck with the install, let me know if you have any questions b/c i'm more than willing to lend a hand!

 

I'm in bethesda...it's probably about an hour away

 

Looks like another member wants to put an exhaust on at the belvoir shop. So right now, we've got 2 exhaust installs, and a head unit install. More than likely the deck will be changed out at my house, no need for a lift for that.

Anybody else want to install anything while we're at the shop??

 

Andrews AFB, and I will be there when they open. I need to install my exhaust. and fix a few little things when she is up in the air.

 

just curious about the system on the Z, is there a stock amplifier that needs to be bypassed?

 

Oh you're going to be at Andrews? We will be at Fort Belvoir.

 

Just ordered the dash kit and wiring harness for my deck

 

so anywhere particular we are meeting up at?

 

Would you all rather meet up somewhere nearby off base, then roll on together? Then we could just go over to the shop, probably be easier to get us all on base.

 

Pickin the car up tomorrow, still on for Saturday morning...

 

bump for the edit.
