What about the airbags??? Do you still have the other 3 and if so how did you rewire it?

I just got myself a Pivot (Jap brand) Gear Shift Light with control unit, now I know it can be hooked up either by just plugging it into the cigarette lighter and it calculates the revs by the current, or you can hook it up to the TA wire for a more precise indication. The problem is I have no...

How about these OMP Pedals? Come in different colours! http://www.ompracing.it/prod/images/oa1000big.gif

Oh, and if I had a choice, I would go for the Full Bilstein coilovers set up. (Which is made in Japan)

I have tried the H&R coilover kit with Bilstein shocks on a Mk2 172, to be honest I didnt think much of it because it almost felt like a driving sedan, the only advantage is you can lower it more than just a shocks and spring kit, the responds was sluglish and the springs are too soft, something...

Does MB Quart have a website?

Tried those bloody Speaker Wire to RCA Convertors and they suck! Just endded up getting a new head!!!

Personally I wouldnt use 6X9s, as you only really need "filler" sound comming from the rear, a good mid range in the OE speaker housing is enough.. unless you want to show off your ICE rather than listening to it?!? Most of the Hi and Mids should come from the front like your Hi Fi at home.

I also changed my head unit recently because of the same reason... IT"S CRAP!!!Had add the amp and sub etc with the OE head unit and speaker wire to RCA convertors from the head to amp but the signals were unclear and the sound was sh_t, shopped around and got a 24 bit JVC KD-SH909R instead of...

So how easy is getting the dash off? any pointers?

What is everyone using for front speakers? Is it easy to get the original tweeters out from the dash of a MK1 172?:confused:

3 pairs, 1 for the fronts, 1 for the rears and 1 for the Sub. I customed made a rear floor panel with the Soundstream 5 channel amp, Cap and fuse box built in, and made a sub box for my 10" JL, got really high from the glue when I was carpeting the pieces, anyway, replaced all the wiring with...

Dont get me wrong, I love Alpine, but I needed a silver face HU because I drive a MK1 and the dash is silver where the HU goes. and the JVC was a bargin @ half the price of the Alpine!

too late, got the JVC and putting it in on the weekend.. I was thinking Nak but they only have 2 RCA channel outs, I need 6. Dont like sony or Kenwood, Alpine or pioneer cost too much compared to what I paid for the JVC. Oh, and it was the fuse, cheers Frosty, everything is working perfectly now.

Thanks people, I believe the KD-SH909 is the best buy for what its worth, everyone know the Alpine is better but it also cost an arm and a leg, the JVC has 6 channel RCA outs, 24 bit DAC, 4V signal out, MP3...etc... etc, and it only costed me HK$2080. Im putting it in on the weekend and cant wait!
