Yeh its certainly taken a chuck out of my bank and time lol. Unfortunately the paint isnt like that in real life

its shocking, the bonnet and bumper are caked with stone chips and the rear bumper isnt in very good nick either. Want a respray but dont have the money, i just try and keep it looking fresh

Unless something else pops up im leaving the wheels for now, the plan is to buy coilovers. Big brake kit as my disks and pads are sh*gged and to get a decent clutch. On top of that iv got to think about saving for insurance in a couple of months time. Non of it cheap so they are probably gonna have to wait.

bonnie · 24-04-2008, 09:57 PM

ooo insurance time
never a good thing lol
sounds like some nice plans for it there then
as usual will be keeping my eye on this thread

Finally got round to fitting my amp the other day, nothing exciting but i thought id include loads of pictures for reference to people who want to know how to wire in their sounds. Iv lost my upload cable for my phone

so have had to borrow the misses

Its a JBL item (GTO2060) good quality and the most powerful i could get for the money, 2x80wrms for £60 which i thought was pretty good!

Its a simple 2 channel amp to run my new components but its bloody huge!!! i couldnt believe the size when i opened the box lol, this sorta narrowed down the places where i could mount it. So in the end i decided to mount it on the little shelf in the boot. A shame because it looks good when its all lit up.

Was a typical case of feeding wire through the body, which is definitely the most time consuming part of the hole process. I took out the sills so i could run the power cable nice and snug uunder the carpet.

I then wire the brushed one of the holes in the boot, i removed the paint off to ensure i got a good earth.

The speaker cable, RCAs and remote were all feed through the centre off the car, i didnt have enough cable to run round the sills so just kept it simple, it kept it away for the power supply.

To simplify the job i used the existing speaker wires which run through the doors and dash, it was simply a case of stripping and crimping the right wires after the ISO connector block.

Before putting everything back together i thought it would be wise to test that it all worked (iv learnt to test things first... the hard way lol) so whacked on the ignition and tunes and guess what? yep nothing happened

checked all the connection and realised that i wasnt gettin power to the amp, i had a funny feeling it would be the remote which wouldnt work and it proved to be true, i switched the wires over to the amp motor wire and it worked.

Panic over. Not having any other remote supply i crimped some wire together with a couple of bullitt connectors on the ends to make myself a T-piece

Sorted! I hid all the wires under the carpet and went to screw the amp down, not payin attention i was drilling away and realised that the full tank was directly underneath...f*ck

luckily i didnt go through to pierce the tank but i sure as hell chucked the drill away quickly. Instead i just velcroed the thing to the floor. It works well and doesnt move, trust me i tried i was out drifting on sat night and it didnt budge

The sound quality is brilliant, much improvement over running on standard power, the obvious improvement was the bass, very punchy, the highs were much better too the tweeters were really kicking in. Sound perception had also improved and gave it a nice surround sound feel. A recommended setup for not alot of money

Gave the car a much needed wash and polish the other day, Used some Autoglym SRP on the roof boot and bonnet the stuff is brilliant!!!

Before and after shot of a nasty scratch on the roof:

i wouldnt say its glazed it, its given it a great glossy finish on it though, i like the reflectiveness of it, if thats a word

would be ideal for lighter coloured cars as its harder to get the same effect.

In low light conditions it really brings out the colour, the colour is a pearl paint the base coat is green with a blue overcoat, looks good but colour match is very hard

New pic
