About CF Modding....

[Loyalty]

Does anyone have any mods that they are planning on doin at Fest? If anyone needs any help, as some threads have mentioned, I think it would be cool if some of us help others that are affraid of modding their own stuff.... I thought maybe since its closer now, that most of us are pretty sure if we're goin or not, so why not make a list of whoever would be willing to help other people with modding.....I'd be happy to help anyone with anything I can...I'm pretty quick at popping open headlights (mainly worked on 99-00's) if anyone wants to paint them, or remove a reflector.....

Anyone else wanna helps your fellow NECO members?

[01blkcat]

I'm good at working with 01-02 headlights... so I can supplement Loyalty's skills :biggrin:

[SassyCat2002]

I can help out in the installing of Short Shifters and other stuff.......Just be sure that tools will be brought by people....Would hate to see all the mods being planned without tools...:banghead:...

Sassy's Man Ron:smoke-t:

[Loyalty]

O yeah I forgot tht in my first post....

If you want something done, make sure you bring the tools.....

[Madcat]

I can do neons, and would LOVE to get my 01 headlights done, as in removing the orange reflector. If anyone wants these done PLEASE let me know, you must bring the neon kits, and I can install them in the parking lot. I can do UIMs too, and intakes etc. stuff like that, but I would like to see a list started personally, so we can list who and what is getting done. It worked great at Indy besides the weather stopped alot of mods from getting done.....

[JennaJ]

i want to get my headlights painted -- but
1) dont know where to get the paint from
2) dont know what tools im going to need to bring to have the work done

wouldnt mind having my shifter shortened - but im not about to bring a saw - its no biggie

Id be more than happy to help anyone do any fabric work to their interior - just bring good scissors and 3m spray :D

[Loyalty]

JennaJ, I can cut your shifter.....I'll bring the dye to thread it too (I'll try to bring a little saw, and my Dremmel). What color do you wanna paint your lights?? If you do it silver you can basically just get any silver from anywhere. If you wanna do it the color of your car....I'd just ask around.

As far as the headlights go, you'll need 2 flat head screw drivers.... a small phillips head, and a razor blade.....

Hey Madcat, if I don't have my neons done by then, I'd like for ya to try....the only problem I have is jacking my car up, due to the sideskirts....

[Madcat]

Just shoot me a PM later on, cuz my friend that is coming in his SCed Focuz has a jack for that and I have a way around everything too, my car has sideskirts and I can get under it no problem now. I ll try to remember to bring tools, please PM me closer to event.

Anyone experienced with installing screens? I think im picking up a screen or two before cougarfest and i was hoping someone would be able to help me. Now what i would really like to do with it is put where the stock cd player location is and then move my cd player down to where the ashtray/lighter are, and then i think i would just like to mount the other one on the dash in front of the airbag which doesnt really take much besides come velcro because i dont want to drill permanent holes in the top of my dash. Id really like someone who's done this before cause i dont want to have my console torn apart to have it not work. So if someone knows how then pm me and we can talk about a list of materials that i need to have it done.

[hooven]

i would like to get my reflector removed if that is possible... i have no idea what to do so if someone would be so kind to show me i would appreciate it- thanks you can PM me or post back

i have a 1999

[carsnrockmusic]

i can help gut precats, sawed off short shifters, intake/exhaust/headers installs....lots of little things here and there....would be more than happy to help with other mods as well...will be bringing socket set, screw drivers, etc.....

anyone know how/willing to possibly help me install a nitrous wet kit....that's if i don't find anyone to help me to it for free until then

[01blkcat]

Been there, done that. I can definitely help you do this :biggrin:

[JennaJ]

loyalty - i actually was thinking of painting my headlights the same purple as my interior paint!!
i just got a 2nd SGG underbody neon kit installed on the car in purple - so i thought it would match better. but then i was thinking what if i ever take off the headlight covers that prolly wouldnt look too good???? either way id like to remove the orange reflector too.

so i dont know purple or silver???
i mean i literally dont know where do to go get the paint from so that it comes in a spray can???


jason - out of curiousity was does gutting your precats actually do for a car? and how hard is it to do?
ive heard people doing it, but never really knew its purpose

[Madcat]

Jenna, gutting is like a cheaper way of headers, some people claim loss of power some claim gain, just depends how your car reacts.

[carsnrockmusic]

yeah...it add some hp....you gut out the pre cats in each manifold which is some honeycomb lookin stuff.....when you take it out you get better airflow...it'll also make the exhaust slightly louder.....it's not hard to do at all....on your car you would need MIL eliminators though since you have the 99.....MIL eliminators are not needed on 01/02 models

sam...go silver :)

[GGRACER]

Well I would really like to remove the reflector from my headlight and shorten my shifter. If I need to bring any kind of tools please let me know!!
I think you guys are great!!!

[BigCountry]

I will have most all of my tools with me, which includes a drill, dremel, fairly largesocket set, Metric box wrences, and any kind of pliers you may need. Basically all of the tools to install anything in my signature, and then some.

[Busted]

I hate those reflectors and would love to have them removed. Not to mention that recently a spider moved into my pass. side headlight. What should I bring that isn't along the lines of tools (silicone, etc..). Can someone help me get my fogs open as well?

[JennaJ]

ohhh ohhh ohhh pick me pick me

how could i forget about night shading my taillights!!!
id have to take off the covers though right???

hmmmmmm

well i guess for the tails and the heads - i should at least also bring some more 3M tape

[Loyalty]

So Heather, Jenna, and Katie you all want your lights opened right?? I can take care of all that......

REMEMBER TO BRING SILICONE!!!!!!!!!!

Jenna, I bought my paint from various places...Discount auto, etc....as far as your purple....I'd check with whatever place you origionally got it from....

[JennaJ]

what kind of silicone???

as for the paint i now can not decide what color to go with???? purple, silver or green?????

i had my body shop paint my interior pieces - its a PPG paint

[Loyalty]

The silicone I bought was... I think...Marine silicone....

As far as the color, you're on your own there, sorry.....

[silverfrost99]

I have been wanting to paiont my dash for some time, but am just too chicken to do it. Anyone want to help with that, that has done it before? I have the paint, sandpaper, and tools to remove the dash. I would like to paint the handle that goes down the door and wraps up to the bevel around the lock and window buttons, but that doesnt come off the door panel. Anyone mask it off and paint it that would like to help with that as well?

[Loyalty]

Frost, I don't have any experience paintin the dash, but I can tell ya.....it's a PITA to get the handles painted....I spoke with a paint shop when we were doin mine...I told them how it was still tacky after about 3 or 4 days.....they told me that since its a rubber that you have to seal it first (I think thats what they called it). I ended up just gettin a new set of panels cause I ruined my old ones....

i'm in the same boat. i looked up in the manual how much trouble it was to take the dash apart. looks like an all day project - for me, anyway. but it could go alot faster if someone with experience was willing to help us get it apart and back together.

[mXOPLYCK]

taking the dash apart is real simple. I just painted my dash and it took all of 10-15 min to take it apart. now the painting took a little more time. But all together it took about 2 days. You just have to be careful when putting the dash back together that soon because the paint hasn't cured yet and can be scratched real easy.

You didnt ruin the old ones...you were just too impatient to have me remove the paint, which could have been done it just would have been time consuming :poke:


PS....when did YOU do all of that work????????????????? :cover:

I can also help with taking the dash apart, and the reassemble....BUT I'm definately not the painter of NECO.....


and YES Sunni, everyone knows that YOU painted the stuff...I just thought it would be less to type :biggrin: I appreciate all you do for my car.....

[Loyalty]

Thought I'd bump it up to see if anyone else wanted to list anything to be done at Fest....Its almost here guys :banana:

[Nemesis]

Chris, lemme know if i purchase the materials if Michelle can do my headliners and door panels! Id be willing to pay her a little for labor if it isnt too much. Maybe some alchohol of her choice ;)

[BleedBlue81]

I can get any color paint put into spray cans if you need it

Approx. $10 per can, and he can do any color...just tell me the name of the color and how much you need...

I'll lend a hand on some mods, but I'd like to spend more time hanging out with everyone and having a good time (didn't get to do that much at HCKC cause we were doing so many mods and raffles and junk...)

I may not check this thread much, so if you need paint, PM or email me please ;)

Also, I would not recommend gutting cats or painting the dash while we're there...much too time consuming IMO...If you want, I can take your dash apart and send you home with the pieces...Just let me know about 10 minutes before you're ready to leave...getting it out is a breeze :)...but, as was mentioned before, the actual prepping and painting process takes much longer...

Psssssssttttttt.... How bout ya pm her and ask :poke: :biggrin:

Honestly, I'm not sure if she'll be up for doin mods......I guess we'll see....

I agree with bleedblue, I'm definately not planin on doin mods the whole time, gotta have some time for fun :banana:

[JennaJ]

Chris, lemme know if i purchase the materials if Michelle can do my headliners and door panels! Id be willing to pay her a little for labor if it isnt too much

id be more than happy to help - i did my own too!!





I agree with bleedblue, I'm definately not planin on doin mods the whole time, gotta have some time for fun

yeah 100% agree!!!!!!!!!!!!


loyalty - remember you are talking to a blonde - exactly what kind/brand of silicone do i buy? is it in a tube? can? what - ive got no clue??

bleeblue - ive decided to paint my headlights silver - if you can get paint cans for $10 id like to have you pick me up silver - b/c i think i got quoted for about $30 a can here - just a nice shinny sparkly silver will do :biggrin:

[Loyalty]

loyalty - remember you are talking to a blonde - exactly what kind/brand of silicone do i buy? is it in a tube? can? what - ive got no clue??

:rofl: Sorry......the silicone I got was in a blue tube....but again, I'm sure any silicone will work fine :thumbsup:

As far as spray paint....I'm not sure what "special" silver you would pay $10 a can for....the silver that Sunni used for mine (if I wouldn't have clearcoated them) is shinny as hell!!!! Its only an aluminum spray paint (it has a shinny silver top :biggrin: ).....why not just pick some up at Discount Auto for like 3 or 4 bucks a can :shrug:

[JennaJ]

yeah thats fine I can just go pick up some silver paint that way -- dont matter to me

i just didnt know if it was going to be as good a quality as others - id rather pay the extra $7 to have paint that is going to last and not peal off

what about the actual painting and clearcloating??
do I need to buy anything else or just bring the car, the paint, and silicone???

im really not trying to be a pain - id rather be overprepared then under!

(ill also bring 3M tape b/c Im going to want to put my headlight covers back on!!)


and 1 more thing - naw..... thats just too much

[Loyalty]

:slap: :rofl: Ok...heres what you'll need for your painting....

-2 flat head screw drivers (Razor blade if ya can)
-1 small phillips head screw driver
-Sand paper (I'm not sure of the grit....maybe someone else can give ya that)
-Spray cans of Primer, the paint you want to use, and...if you want to, clearcoat
-Silicone

I think thats it......

And what is your other "too much" question :shrug: It'll just give me or the guys another reason to give ya a hard time :biggrin:

[8BaLL]

:rofl: Ok Sam, give you an idea of what to get heres two examples of silicone's

[01blkcat]

I'll help out with anything that anyone may need done --

I can crack open a set of 99 headlights in about 15 minutes, and the 01-02 headlights in under 10 minutes. Dash removal in about 15 minutes (if we're working slowly)

:shrug: sorry , lol

[JennaJ]

No im sorry guys - i just really dont know a DAM!!! thing about doing any of this

chris - yes the list is perfect - now i know what to bring
just need to get the grit down from someone?? what like an 800???? i dont know

1 primer, 1 color, 1 clearcoat can?

as for the other thing............................................. ............ it has to do with my rear passengerside inside door panel.

when i reupholstered it - it was fine, but after sitting all winter and getting jerked around from being taken in and out of the car from the stereo install - the actual part of the panel that is tweeded pops out near the door jam. i took it out got some rubber cement and clamped it together for about 48 hours -- put it back in the car a week later popped out again. decided to put double sided velcro on the inside to hold it on - is now holding the top above the speaker grill, but the side near the door jam still sticks out..... i cant imagine what else to do? dont know if the fabric is too thick or what?? but it worked for a while - just not now???? and if i cared enough id prolly reupholster both rear panels anyways from scratch, but im not going to do that - so thats not an option.

[Loyalty]

As far as the sand paper, Sunni did mine and she used, 300, 600, and 1000.

My rear panel does the same thing.... I haven't really worried about it. Sorry, maybe someone else can help ya.

[carsnrockmusic]

anyone want to help with the installation of a nitrous wet kit?

[Ness1216]

I wouldnt know whow to but I would love to watch.

[Magoo]

I need fabric replacement. Headliner(spellcheck), carpet you know the usual. Gotta get the all white scheme going on.

[Nemesis]

I desperatly need someone to hook up an ELECTRICAL Oil Pressure gauge w/ sender .

[Iceotron]

any chance someone can hook me up with cutting down my shifter n such.....Loyalty?

[Iceotron]

magoo, you bring the material and I can help you change the headliner.....be sure to buy 3m adheasive(sp)

[Magoo]

nice, where can i get some of this adheasive. I'll be coming down that Saturday after I get off of work at 4. So it should be a fun drive. If anyone sees a lost melina blue cougar that will be me. lol

[Iceotron]

you can get it at basically any auto parts store.......should be by the headliner material.

[Loyalty]

Originally posted by: Iceotron

Yep I'm cool with that.......


Just to let people know....I'm gonna be threading the shaft with a 1/2 20 thread, and then re-tapping whatever shift knob with the same size threads......I think its the same as the stock thread size, but since the stock shifter tappers on the top once you cut that off, its a PITA to get the shifter to screw on properly.....You can ask BatCougar, what is done works great :thumbsup: ALSO its easier if you have either the stock shifter, the B&M shifter, or anyother shifter that has a cap on it that I can take off.....If ya dont understand, I'll show you guys at Fest why I say that......

[carsnrockmusic]

i'll help if loyalty can't by chance

[Iceotron]

ok, very cool!! I can't wait.

[Loyalty]

Bumpin to keep it fresh.........

[Rikenbomb]

BeachCougar and I will hopefully do the Optima Battery install, with rewiring the battery terminals to make it fit.

[Loyalty]

Bumpin for a real reason this time....

Just remember if you posted in this thread about gettin modded.... Those of us that are doin the mods will probably NOT be bringin the tools to do so!!!! If you want a mod done, make sure you bring the tools! If you don't know what you need.... PLEASE ASK!! For those of you that want the MTX shifter cut...I will be bringin the stuff I need.

Fest is almost here :banana: Less then 2 weeks :biggrin:

[Madcat]

Maybe if someone posted who and what was getting done, ited help alot of us. I will have my tools and drill but still I dont wanna bring too much extra stuff. Thanks and please start a new topic if you check things and make a list. At Team NECO it helped A-TON!

[mcon99]

i'm bringing my own toolset to CF anyways.... i won't have everything but most common tools, dunno if ii'm going to bring anything electric yet

[Loyalty]

Madcat thats a great idea :thumbsup:

Just so there's not a hundred posts that people have to read to know who's doin what, why don't we just do this......I'll post what I can do or help with and what I'm gonna bring....anyone else that is gonna actually work on a mod PM me, and I'll keep updating this list.... PM me the following...
1) What you can help do, and 2) What tools, if any are you gonna bring.......

Sound good to everyone? PM me if it's cool......

[Loyalty]

This list will be updated until Friday (the 11th). I will be out of town until Fest, so I'll try to get Sunni to check my PM's and update it if need be.......

Loyalty- Headlight opening, cutting down MTX shifter, maybe electrical work with neons....

I'll be bringin the tools to thread the shifter and knob, BUT if someone can please try to bring a hacksaw....I'm gonna see if I can borrow Pinhy's, but just in case....

MadCat- UIM, TB, Neons inside and out, shifter, seat install, brakes, struts, strut bars, sound deadening... and just misc stuff :biggrin:

He's bringin....whole tool box, from wire strippers to hax saws, also a jack and some blocks. Also cordless drill and 2 batteries, drill bits, and probably a socket set as well.

Iceotron- gaming sytems, lcd's, and power inverters...various electrical work :shrug:

[Iceotron]

I can install gaming sytems, lcd's, and power inverters....if anyone needs help with that sorta stuff.

[Loyalty]

Tryin to keep this on one list :slap: :biggrin: Its all good, I added ya on it.....

[Nemesis]

im confused, i think we should have a new thread started listing what everyone can do. :(


or maybe im just too lazy to read everything all over again :(

JENNAJ: Can you tell me what I need as in materials and length of stuff for replacing my headliner and side arm rests with black vinyl? or at least the arm rest parts all the way back.


Thanks!!

[Loyalty]

George, thats why I started the list.....I didn't think I really needed another thread to do this, I think it may be kinda confusing. As far as the material you'll need..... 3M Spray adhesive, DO NOT BE CHEAP AND BUY CHEAP SPRAY you'll regret it!!!!! Obviously you'll need scisors, and Sunni got 6 yards of fabric and it covered....the 4 panels, the headliner, visors, AND the trunk deck lid......

[Nemesis]

sweet thanks for the info chris!

would i get the fabric and adhesive at like a Hobby Lobby or WalMart?

[Iceotron]

go to a joann fabrics if you have one by you. They'll have all you need.

[Nemesis]

:( ive never heard of that...i guess ill ask my mom, since fabrics is a woman thing :rofl: i better hide after that comment :cover:

[BeachCougar]

Anybody want to help me install my system? I need to install two amps, front componants, and a subwoofer in a box that is already made.


Jason

[Iceotron]

I can help out a bit. Make sure you have a 0 guage wire to go off the battery and have an inline fuse on it. I can help run the power wire (which is a pita) ground out the amps, replace the speakers and all that other good stuff. Just don't wanna be doing it too long, or else my GF will get all pissy. hehehe...anyone else wanna help out? Jason (01blkcat) I know you know everything electrical with these cars, wanna help out?

[Iceotron]

almost forgot, Where do you plan on installing the amps? Back of the box? In the wheel well? Kick panel (trunk) enclosures? Any pics of the box going in? Any info you have will def help. Also does the head unit have pre-amps for subs and your components? Links n such would be excellent.

[BeachCougar]

Iceotron,

I have the Eclipse 7002 Headunit. It has preouts for everything and the brain is under the passenger side so we won't have to remove the headunit. Attached is a pic of the box I am going to use. I am picking up an Eclipse 12" Titanium sub and have two Eclipse Amps I want to install on the back of the seats if that is possible. The componants are MB Quart PSD 216's 6.5". Do I need to buy adapters to make them fit. Where can I put the tweeter? How long of 0 gauge wire do I need? Do I need two buy (2) AMP kits? Can you think of anything else I need to bring? I live in the area so I can bring whatever is needed. Thanks a lot for the help.

Installing the amps on the back of the seats is cake. Just bring self taping screws to secure them. The front speakers are 6x8...but so are the rears and I put 6.5" eclipses there without an adapter. But an adapter would be preferred but not needed. The tweeters could go in the pillars, with some modification.....or ask keene or lucky dog they are audio experts. 1 amp kit is needed. Make sure it has a power distributer block. The kit will have the power and ground wire for us. And hopefully enough so that we can run it direct to the distributer and then run 2 wires off of it (1 to each sub). One more thing I almost forgot. For the ground we have some options. Either tap into the factory grounds in the trunk or make our own by drilling a hole in the trunk flow. For obvious reasons the first method is preferred. Bring a cordless drill for mounting the amps, wire stripper, zip ties, and fork crimps. If I think of anything else I'll post it.

[01blkcat]

I will be bringing all of my electrical tools, crimps, taps, tape, etc. I'll help out wherever is needed.

JENNAJ: Can you tell me what I need as in materials and length of stuff for replacing my headliner and side arm rests with black vinyl? or at least the arm rest parts all the way back.

I bought 3M spray 90 - got it right from Advance Auto Parts - i think i used 2 cans

as for material I only bought 4 linear yards of my tweed (its 54 inches wide)
that did my headliner (including sunroof), front and rear door panels - and i even have material left over

[BeachCougar]

Thanks for the help iceotron and 01blcat. I will make sure i have everything needed. I want to put the tweeters in the piece just beside the mirror if you know what I am talking about. And Iceotron, I only have one sub so that one amp kit should be enough. Thanks again.

[Loyalty]

Can anyone help me install my cd/slotted rotors and new pads?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!! I just got them, and can't really afford to have them put on now :banghead:

[Madcat]

Yes, bring them and Slade and I will install them, if someone has tools, and if we dont do it, someone will, just bring um :)

[JennaJ]

i think someone needs to paint my calipers for me :biggrin:

can you use the same paint from doing headlights with - prolly not - prolly need higher temp paint????

[Iceotron]

sam - you should use the high temp paint or caliper paint sold at auto parts stores. Also if you want to have this done we sure to buy some heavy grit sand paper, dremmel with sanding drums or anything else to sand with. Being from new york you'll need to sand off all the rust from the calipers.


Also I suggest painting the hub part as well.

[JennaJ]

yeah id like to have it done -- maybe a mod meet - i think ill save it for after fest

i dont want my car to be on jack stands all fest

i want to be able to drive it around

how long is it going to take to do the headlights - before we can put them back together and on the car

[JennaJ]

What would be the possibility of anyone fixing my CV Shaft???????

When i went down to VA Beach back in May i was told of the problem - i know i know - but I havent fixed it yet :cover:

I dont want to spend $220 before fest to get it fixed - b/c i dont have that much right now and im not going to take the money out of my fest fund

i think i can get the part for under $100 - just didnt know if this was a possibility for anyone

there is still grease in the boot - the boot is actually just cracked i guess (havent looked at it yet) but i was also told i should just replace the whole boot at once and save $$ and time if the other boot ever goes - b/c i guess you have to take off the shaft anyways????

just wondering - im not sure how this would actually have to be done

[silverfrost99]

DragonZ... I can help with installing the oil pressure gauge, I did mine myself. However, I havent done the air/fuel, so I cant help with that one.


Also, I probably wont be doing my dash at fest now, but I would like to install mesh grilles in the remaining parts of the drift bumper, I have the grille, just don't know how to attach it. Anyone wanna help?

[Loyalty]

Jenna....you can basically put the headlights back together once the clearcoat is dry enough......

[Nemesis]

I DESPERATLY need someone that can install an ST200 REAR STRUT BRACE!! please Im willing to help!!

know its a two man job, and having someone with the tools and has done it before will speed the process.

So I too need a ST200 rSTB co-installer.. ;)

Eric, im the man to help! I dont mind assisting at all. Im sure we both can find someone to help install this stuff. Just find me on thursday and we can talk about it there and go on a search to find the right people lol

I have done thge red switches and installed a custom set of guages from bryan. I dunno about indiglo's but I can get you into your guage pod within 15 mins to install any guages you want...but how yto make them glow a certain color, I know not (my yoda reference)

The led's just get 3mm high output led's....radio shack used to have them online but I dunno anymore.

Rob8100, Check out Auto Zone. They have a set of three LED's for ten bucks. They come with all the wires attached and small holders for the lights.


Here are my LED's..
