A20 LEE 0 Posted March 27, 2005 lee have you got any pics of your boot install, saw the ones on vortex but I'm hungry for more lol http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1903959 here you go, turned out much better than i expected. Showed the system for the first time today and its all over the forums. Needs lots of tuning to get it right but thats half the fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted March 27, 2005 Very nice!! But there aint no room for the groceries now mate! Do you have a second car as a daily driver just out of curiosity? :) Not yet.

A20 LEE 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Looks sweet mate.. what sub & amps you running?? The sub is an audiobahn 1500Q. Don't know how it sounds yet as i haven't powered it up yet. Should have plenty of muscle at 800rms in a 4cu ft box. Amps are Rockford Fosgate. Chose equipment which was chromed with red illumination and decent sound/power. Been working on the front end of the system this morning. To my ears it sounds awesome, loads of power there. The 3 way component system is getting 250rms.

A20 LEE 0 Posted March 28, 2005 i love your attention to detail , always excellent finishing never half done a touch of class lee Cheers. Thing about showing cars is, judges are looking for faults so you need to make sure theres no dodgy bits. You can watch a judge at certain shows to see there favourite checks are and just work on those areas for that show :wink: :-P Silly as it sounds the best modified V-Dub in the world can lose to a nearly std car on something as silly as faded plastic caps on the seatbelt retaining bolts. Its bonkers really, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 29, 2005 Yeah I had a look earlier and was going to comment but got distracted. It is indeed a very good install and to be honest I didn't expect anything less from Mr Collishaw! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Giving me expensive ideas! :?

Got an Alpine KCE-104V on order which opens up all kinds of possiblities. Wouldn't mind a DVD player, NAV, DAB....... :roll: Need more room.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted April 3, 2005 man thats such a sweet install! I don't have enough room in my boot area.. the disadvantages of having a rallye floorpan... Cheers Ben, i'm really pleased with it. Its still developing, rushed it a bit to make Elsecar so not quite there yet. Tried the front components/amp and its amazing how much more detail i could here on my favourite CD's.

A20 LEE 0 Posted April 3, 2005 :D :lol: Sorted my interference problem, run the power wire under the amps so they cross the RCA's at 90°. Arrhh silence, until the volume goes up. Its LOUD :lol: , now to get that 800rms sub up and running, come on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red-16V 0 Posted April 16, 2005 A sneaky pic of my new brakes which arrived today. Bit late for Elsecar but they will be in place for GTi Spring Festival in a month. Should fill my rims nicely :D Have you fitted these brakes yet? Pics? Think about a set of these myself but worried about the 20% re-stocking charge if they don't fit. thanks.

Ohh and the hoses where the wrong length and i've been waiting for the replacement parts since tuesday. Bit of a disaster really considering i've got a PVW shoot in 8days. Rear brakes are done and chromed splash guards fitted. Need to get chromed rear calipers now will be a pain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted April 20, 2005 Quick pic, new brakes are on :D here's how they compare to the old discs. Only been on an hour so i'll have to post pics tomorrow, in daylight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
