Posts: 55not much happening here atm been a bit crook and the heat means i just cbf gettin out there an sweating my guts out to often to do shit
but
i did make sum changes to the audio after my 4 channel was to big to fit anywhere and my 12 inch sub decided to pack it in after 11 years lol
alpine 12 inch type r dual 2ohm sub boot
pioneer gm-8604 cfgd at 4x100rms – front splits and rear shelf 8 inch subs
pioneer gm-8601 cfgd at 1x1000rms 1ohm – 12inch type r sub in boot
mmm nice sounds at last
also managed to pick up a new 20×8 bbs style rim in full satin black with a new 245 tyre cheap so i now have a spare to fit over me brembos

Posts: 55so i finally got me brembos on now i just gotta find a spare wheel to fit over them bloke at local bob jane has a bunch of trade ins an odds an ends we gunna try an fit an if he aint got sumthin he says he will find me sumthin dont nee to be anything special as long as its straight a bit of rash an shit can be painted over
also got me sub box and mono block wired an mounted good to have sum decent bass but me 4 channel for front an rear is to large to fit anywhere cept upside down which i dont do as heatsinks are on top of amps for a reason so im lookin at a nice focal 4way for about 400$ which is about the size of 6 dvd cases stacked together so that is gunna run my focals up front an my hertz 2 ways an kenwood 8 inch shelf subs thru a set of cross overs but for now my trusty old 2 way alpine is running the front splits no worries
total bitch running all the rcas trigger an speaker cables the carpet is stuck down by sum real sticky shit but the power an ground distros were much easier with the battery in teh boot

Posts: 55shouldnt be any difference tween vp vr vs v8 irs FE2 springs a hsv with fe2 shud be identical to a non hsv with fe2 as fe2 is a holden factory part
the only differences you may find would be due to age and use an sag

Posts: 55small update installed sports armour to the front bar today cover up sum scratches an scrapes that were on it when i bought it
needs a bit of chrome on the front so might have a look for sum thin strips like u used to see on wheel guards back in the day an work it around the outside of the grill
starting to hate the large chrome lion on the front grille but doesnt seem to be much to replace it with i dont want to black it out and anyone says a chev badge will get a kick in the nuts hehe

Posts: 55new ac fix update bracket with twin pullies an slightly longer belt installed no more walkin ac belt
pool noodle in under the front bar got rid of the sag
monroe struts installed into the rear
sum spiffy led parkers
sports foot rest in
drives like a totally different car now i definately think whiteline sway bars will need to be added just cause why not
on the other hand i found that the right front out of the headunit is dead not the speakers so im goin with an alpine mutlimedia unit + alpine control unit for the canbus hvac hazard lights etc an prolly sum type r splits up front an coax 2 ways in rear doors
i already have subs an amps to go in
wheels i can wait for but the front brakes cant go on without them :( but right now id rather have sum decent sound for driving
for those wondering about pics there will be more when theres something more to show
