factory is 5.5, but 6.5 fits well too. rear speaker mounts are difficult to find. check out the last page in my build thread and you'll see them. if you have a cargo cover, you could fit 6x9's in it. looks alright but OEM is best.

Question about exhaust: Right now, my stock exhaust runs along the passanger side of my car, goes across the rear bumper, and exits out the drivers side. I do not plan on buying a cat-back, but I plan on buying a muffler and a tip, and having a shop weld in a new exhaust from the cat back. Is it possible to run the new exhaust along the drivers side and exit it out the stock location in order to cut down on the extreme bends and clean up the rear area a bit? Also, what size tubing is on the stock exhaust and what size tubing should be used on my new exhaust? I dont plan doing many mods, but I wouldnt mind going up a bit in tubing size if it isn't going to hurt anything.

I crawled under my car this afternoon to see that my stock muffler has a huge hole in it. I'm going to call my exhaust guy tomorrow to see if he had time to weld me in a new muffler (I'm hoping for a Magnaflow, but I'll probably take whatever he has just so that th problem gets fixed). Hopefully it'll get done tomorrow and I'll be able to post pics after.

I got a new muffler on my car today. It is pretty much a stock replacment, and it's so much more quiet than my stock one. Before, I didn't like driving my car over 70 because of the sound. Tonight, I was going 80 without even noticing. I'm loving it, def worth the $85 I paid.

Nothing much has been going on with the car lately except for basic service. It was running rough so I put a new fuel filter on it and it seems to be running better. Then it was having trouble starting, so I put a new battery in it today. Other than that, I've been driving it daily. I've focused my attention to my truck for a minute. It now has straightpipes, and I'm in the process of replacing the filter on the cai.

After drying and taking the cards out:
I think just the black steel rims looks cools (especially if your cheap!).
I just bought this same car auto/w power steering/91 DX, 2 months ago and after 4000k all i did was buy new tires.... it now has 115000 miles on original engine and transmission. I got a sunroof on mine though!
Today I did some rust repair and touched the paint up with milano instead of rio red grrrr...
