One of my mates got his Head Unit fitted by Halfords and they connected up his aerial with sello tape!!!

Where are you people with mk1 clios mounting these screens? Ive had a look at fitting one in mine, preferably where it can clearly be seen from both the passenger and drivers seat. Ive seen a pic on here of one with it mounted in a big build on top of the dash but thats a bit too obvious for me...

I this the time of year when companies start to release new stock??? If so, does that mean you can get decent savings on last years models. The reason I ask is cos Im after a new Head Unit, but if I can get one of last years models for a lot less then thats what Ill do!! Rick

Wise words!;) Budget brands do have a way of slapping a massive figure on an amp when realistically you wouldnt get even a quarter of that power from them in terms of RMS. My Legacy amp pumps out 1200W max apparently but only 50W RMS on the individual channels @ 4 Ohms!! What I would like...

No wonder I missed you whilst I was at the show, I thought your valver was Naples Red for some reason!! I saw that flipped valver on the MP stand that your on about and it did look really cool, a nice change from all the Combat Kitted Corsas (one of which has managed to sneak into your top...

So essentially you have two four-channel amps. Do you like music with really deep long bass like Hip Hop or do you listen to faster paced stuff with a quicker bass line. If you want deep bass then go for the W3 12 otherwise you could try dropping to a couple of W3 10 in subs cos they do just...

I didnt think it was as good as last year tbh, still lots of decent cars there tho, but the number of really quality cars was a bit low. Was also very annoying that it took an hour and a half to get out of the car park!! Loads of lovely ladies made up for it tho. ;) Saw a smart looking P1...

Hi, I had a look at the JL Audio book that he got with the subs and it seemed to make sense. We spent 10 1/2 hours on installing his stereo today, and its still not completely finished!!!! Basically we just need to plug in the second sub but it already sounds awesome with just the one. I cant...

I probably will just change my HU, cos its a pretty sh*t cheapo Sony one that Ive had for over a year. Does anyone know if say a mid range Pioneer one (around £280 cant remember the exact model!) will make a massive difference to sound quality. At the moment the bass has a tendency to sound a...

Im currently installing a system my mates car and tomorrow were going to set up his two subs. Hes got two JL Audio 8in W3 subs and a mono Directed Audio amp (Think its 600W RMS). I think the subs are dual voice coil jobbies, how do I go about wiring this little lot up. Do I go straight from the...

Nice one, Ill have to buy it tonight. Although I might change my mind and get a new Head Unit instead. Decisions, decisions!! Rick

Subs and amp shouldnt be a problem but I dont know about the Head Unit. I would have thought the radio wont work properly over here. Rick

Think the next PGTi is out on the 14th of April

Ive got an amp with about 175W RMS. At the moment its running a 12W0 JL Audio sub. Im after something thats going to be tighter and louder!! Ive been thinking about a W3 but I thought Id get you opinions first. What are Rockford Fosgate subs like at this price?? Any advice much appreciated. Rick

I was on the way to the Midlands Meet when my car basically just slowed and then stopped altogether!! Feels like its out of fuel but I filled up to the top the night before. It didnt feel too good for about half a mile before that and then it just stopped!! I havent really had a chance to look...

Coaxials have the tweeter and the mid on the same axis, i.e the tweeter is mounted in the middle of the mid. With components you get two seperate speakers meaning you get much better bass from the mids and the option to position the tweeters for a better sound. Components are generally...

I bet the bloke on the bike was gutted, looks like hes just bought it!!

Think he was going to go for a a new roof skin without a sunroof, but decided against it in the end. Its a real b*****d and time consuming job just to get rid of a rattle. Although I have the same thing in mine and it is bloody annoying!!! Although mine doesnt leak (touch wood!)

Are these any good?? A friend of mine has just bought some for his car but were waiting for an amp to arrive before we can hook them up. Seem to be very well built but they should be for £220 which is what he paid. I cant remember what exact model they are other then that theyre 165mm diameter...

Does anyone know where you can buy a sub box for two 8inch subs? Preferably somewhere that does mail order. Ta Rick

CLIO14RT, I hope to be following the 16v route in the summer. Would be interested to hear just how much of an improvement a valver is over an RT. Rick

What speed are you getting to in 2nd before you change up?? Mine gets up to about 55mph at around 6k revs, so thats when I change. Stereo gear will make a slight difference but unless youve got a BIG install I dont think its going to contribute too much. Certainly not to the same degree as...

I dont have a new clio and as such am pretty much useless to you, but I will say that you wont be able to take Side Skirts off without leaving a mark. You will have drill holes to contend with and the bonding adhesive which will probably take some of the paint off with it. So essentially your...

No problem, Ill accept a cheque for my share of the winnings!;)

If you dont adjust the torsion bar then no it wont. The fact that they are stiffer might even reduce the amount that the back of the car settles making it higher!!!! But thats just my theory which is probably all to c**k anyway!;)

These are some pics of when I sorted the cables on mine. I drilled out a couple of holes for the wires and fed them through. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/billhemsley/wiring/wireplug1.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/billhemsley/wiring/wireplug2.jpg The one on the left is on the door side...

Dont listen to these two!;) White wheels are the way forward, especially on dark blue and black cars! Nice choice of wheel also. Did you say these are 16s? Suit the car very well. Rick

Was driving through Lincoln after dropping someone off and it drove past whilst I was stuck at some lights. Saw it in the rear view mirror first and noticed that it looked modified and then when it drove past I saw the RS02 HOT plate that you see in all the mags. Have to say I liked the look of...

ok, cheers.
