It was a good price, offered postage, had a remote and multiple inputs and there were good reviews. Yeah, it's an analoge one.
The issue was when I had it on phono in I had to have the phone turned down to near zero to get any form of good sound quality out as it was clipping horiffically if it...
Too many cars....remember having 8 at home once. Two were track cars, another was a donor car and randomly a vinatge dumper truck that had a Lister engine in. Oh and also a full fiber glass body shell for a Metro 6R4 that my step dad had visions of doing one day.
I bought an Amp. I just bit the bullet and did it. I think the problem was I was waiting for a good deal and was missing good ones. I ended up with a Sony TA-FE370, so not a AV one. After a thought I think it may be over kill for the set up I want and have - I only have a telly/PS3 and an AUX...
Cool thanks, gives me something to read lunch time tomorrow. Didn’t help that I didn’t know what I was looking for, got a few more options now. Thanks.
@realnumber 1 does that literally do everything? I’ve never seen them before. What is the benefit of one of those? So many in and outputs on the back!!

That’s what I thought about those two, just wanted to be sure!
The Sony one was pushing £100, other are on eBay but with no remote at half the price. Any other brands to look for?
Been given a pair of Mission floor standing speakers and need an amp for them. I was watching a Sony TA-FE330R on eBay but my mate who gave me the speakers said it was too much and don’t bother bidding. What would people recommend?
Ideally have multiple inputs on the back (realistically it...
That Odessey is not a £5k car.....yet.
Rouge Traders, wow I’d avoid that seller. You went to look at it? How bad was it then?
For £5k I’d want something a little special - cams, suspension upgrade, a lot of restoration work/new parts.
I had a similar issue with rear beam bolts when I replaced one after cutting one out. Luckily my brother is a dab hand on a lathe and sorted it.
Also what rear beam bolts are you using, as in the head on them? As I found the recessed cap head thing utter useless, hence cutting one out. I put a...
This is what I thought. Mine were bolted to a frame that had no mechanism. It’s function was not to move and it did that perfectly, seats didn’t move! Still failed.
What’s the airbag/cat directive? If fitted as standard they need to be fitted?
My old Clio failed its MoT test back in July for this - no air bag, drivers seat not moving and being "exhaust being louder than a standard car of similar age and condition" (this annoyed me as there are other standard cars that are a lot louder, mine was 92dB at 4.5k rpm). I was always under...
That is a crazy low noise limit. I thought Combe was strict. Although I am sure it was so Merlin Motorsport could sell mufflers at silly mark up on the day.
However it looks like a proper nice Clio and looked after. Do like this a lot. Wish I had the time, space and patience to build a Mk1, I...
Anyone seen the lad on the CSOC Facebook page who literally only said “sending these two to the crusher tomorrow” with a picture of an Iceburg and Odessey Ph1 with no explanation. Everyone is asking for a price and he isn’t replying. If it’s the Odessey blue one I have seen around High Wycombe...
There are two on the Facebook market place, one looks decent, the other looks a bit gash. A bit too far away for me to go and look at, still working away in the week
Weren’t these developed by Prodrive? Or did they have something to do with the race ones? Sure my brother said he saw one there when he was at work experience with them about 15 years ago.
@Coops Turbo the ones in my old one were good if the guy breaking it still has them. Might have to do a search on the Facebook page to find the initial advert.
It sounds nice then? Got a video of it?
I want to get a stainless system for mine but not entirely sure what - want some more noise as the 6 cylinder engine sounds sweet. Will be going to Infinity Exhausts as they did a good job on my old Clio's and Octavia's exhaust (Clio have manifold back...
I’ve been looking at wheels and they are mega money. I’m after a set of 18” Style 32’s and in struggling to find a set at a reasonable price. I’m used to cheap French cars!!
Nooooo. Grey leather is nice! These are mine. Although I have been told this interior and the M-tec steering wheel was a rare combination from factory.
Especially as the ones you posted look like in good condition.
May have missed it but what engine is in yours?
Of course I am! Was going to look at the flammer I posted the other day but I’ve had to pay for a holiday this month and my Skoda is in the garage and the BMW needs a new windscreen so never did. I should really get the BMW sorted first and the Skoda in tip top order so if I need to sell it I...
He initially it was worth £2k as he changed the belts and dephaser which I thought was a joke. Then put it for £1500 which I thought was better and people were still shocked at the price for that mileage. So I assume he wasn’t getting any luck and didn’t want to lose money on it so decided to...
