Looking good matey! Love that you are building a racer but also have it filled with dynamat ;)

Sorry EJ but I don't get that putting all the stereo gear (weight) in but hey it's your car mate and an awesome one at that :thumbleft:

[EJ Taylor 22]

No that's a fair point. Not many do. I'm a huge audio fan though my original interest in cars was the audio side. So I want to creat a car I can enjoy. One that's goes like a stabbed rat. Sits like a show stopper and has demo car worth audio. An all round nice car I can enjoy to drive to listen to and too look at. Not limited to a certain scene. It's a big ask but why not go big. ️

[clumpy1 11]

Total Respect for doing what you are doing normally associated to alot newer model's of car like I said it is your car and you have more than answered my Q mate you are a true enthusiast!! Can't wait to see it in the flesh :thumbleft:

[EJ Taylor 22]

Thanks mate always appreciate your opinion. Yer that's my aim. It's a long old road but I'm making progress. Rushing nothing got all the time in the world.

I must admit I was thinking it was a bit odd you being a car audio specialist and not having a car full :lol: I've just finished my boot build and need to do my a pillar builds and that's me finished

[EJ Taylor 22]

haha, yer it's all designed now just the execution to come,

 

got 2 JL Audio W3V3 13.5" Subwoofers

http://www.jlaudio.co.uk/13w3v3-2-car-audio-w3v3-subwoofer-drivers-92156

 

running off the slash V3 1200/1

http://www.jlaudio.co.uk/product/54216.46510.48108.0.0/98352/_/12001v3

 

then 4 JL Audio C3-650

http://www.jlaudio.co.uk/c3-650-car-audio-c3-convertible-systems-99022

 

Running of the Slash 300/4v3

http://www.jlaudio.co.uk/300-4v3-car-audio-slash-v3-amplifiers-98351

 

then keeping as many of the leather rado panels as possible all custom panels/overall build matching grey Alcantara

 

the main unique factor of the build will be its continuing attention to keeping the weight low, as in 99.99% of cases this is never a factor in the audio world

UPDATES!

 

Had a successful week last week!!!!

 

The Recaro Seats arrived!!!!!

£70 making them bargain of the year!!!

 

My dad (who does classic car restoration) has put me on to the man who used to do all the trimming for Williams F1, he still does loads for Frank Williams bits for his wheel chair etc, does all David Coulthard customs trimming work and many more big motor sport names, All i keep hearing is he is the best there is so im excited! anyway im meeting the guy tonight (works from a workshop out the back of his house and doesnt advertise to the public) to discuss materials stitches etc and my friend who owns Hond-R tuning is sourcing me complete foam sets for both seats, as far as materials go im thinking matching medium grey leather outers to contrast with the existing grey leather interior with grey alcantara centers finished with the Recaro logo done in black then matching black twin seemed stitching! should be sexual!

 

ALSO Mike the European sales manager for JL Audio dropped of the majority of my Audio equipment :D so that got me all a fluster!

£900 worth of amplifier in the form of the Slash 1200/1 V3

 

then the 4 channel slash V3 and the Twin 13.5" W3's, still got 2 sets of C3 components for the front doors!

 

THEN... Finally finished stripping out all the Factory VW sand bags and rubber/foam insulation/sound proofing and replaces with Dynamat Extreme

 

 

 

Finally i ended up going mad with the cleaning products order at the shop so i felt it my duty to trial the products! this lead to an entire days cleaning/ detailing

 

(may i clarify that Nissan is my neighbours and has nothing to do with my life, family or existence)

 

So yer, Overall a very successful week, and with the cage due to be painted in the next few days and a full set of new windows En'route things are making movements!

 

More to come!

 

Watch this space!

been like that for 2 years now man. never had an issue, to be fair though i do live in Oxford police here are pretty laid back compared to most places, i did the same on my old beetle, got stopped once and just said it fell off and i was on my way home to put it back on, that was that haha

 

I imagine from watching traffic cops and such if i were from anywhere else it wouldnt be as easy to get away with. See in some places they are doing people for having their cars "too low"

[VAG-hag 0]

car looks fapping awesome mate.... no doubt it will sound it too. keep us up to date with the interior trimming too :)

[VAG-hag 0]

[clumpy1 11]

Have you got a Clio Matt? :lol:

[sexybourbon 0]

I've got more than a clio mate haha

[clumpy1 11]

2 Clio's?

[Jim 1]

Probably more reliable than a Corrado to be fair! :)

[clumpy1 11]

Shame on you Jim :lol: Sadly you are probably right ;)

[sexybourbon 0]

I may have owned more than one , and I also might have an amazing email address ...... But that would be telling

 

And she's a reliable old gal , got me and the missus to Cornwall and back a few months back 1000 mile in a week lol

[clumpy1 11]

I'm not judging bud my daily is a Vectra as much as I would like it to be a Corrado it is very reliable and start's when you need it which is what I need to get to work that may change however which would mean the R32 would be taxed all year and brought out as and when weather dictated.
