Can you supply backbox only or is it just full systems?

Id just like to say much respect to Dash for acknowledging that the 1.2 16v is a reasonably nippy car. Any accusations of 172 smugness would clearly not apply to V6 owners in my book! Unfortunately the cause of the aforementioned smugness is partly self-inflicted, or at least invited, by 2fast4u...

Only at weekends I suspect! Although perhaps youre right, I didnt think of that. So come on Phil, are you a bloke or a bird?

Ive just got it, you should have called yourself Papa, then at least wed have known you werent a lady!

Why are you posting as Nicole but signing your posts Phil? Is it one of these gender identity confusion issues I read about?!

At last! Someone else with the sense to know that components are the best idea for the back as well as the front! For years Ive been trying to explain to people convinced it makes for a great SQ system to have 6x9 co-axials in the back. First of all, round speakers are the most efficient shaped...

Matt, thats not correct. Its a strict 5 years for insurance companies. The DVLA will erase them after 3 years.

I work for esure/Halifax insurance (sell both companies policies from the same call office) and three points for speeding (as long as its SP10/SP30) will not make any difference at all to the price. SP50 gets a price hike (loading) of about 7%. If you have another 3 point offence giving 6...

It is an amazingly fast engine. My dad has a 2000 Vitesse Turbo and I had a blast in it a while back, mind blowing stuff! Not much turbo lag at all, one of the best turbo engines for an even power distrib. curve. In standard form, admittedly, yeah, the big Rovers dont handle that well cause its...

Are you transplanting Fred? Or have you really figured out a way of turbocharging, supercharging, chipping and nitrousing with polished and ported heads, high-lift/fast road cams, a straight-through stainless system and superlight uprated pulleys, plus stripping out, on your 1.2 thats cheaper...

Fred, perhaps you fitted the springs the wrong way round... one front one and one back one at the front, same at the back..?? !

Hmph! I never got any toolkit with mine! Only the jack and associated pariphernalia.I had to buy a Torx screwdriver. £12 bloody quid it cost me too!

Pretty cool piece of kit all the same tho, I must admit. Well handy for warming up the engine and circulating oil and coolant so you can just jump in and razz the nuts off it every time!

Yup, I work for esure/Halifax, if your car gets nicked with the ignition running, you wont see a penny from your insurance co. And if you tell them about it, Id say theres a very good chance they wont wanna insure you! We wont touch anyone with remote start.

Do you have any pics of your install? That sounds like the kind of solution I was looking for, but I cant visualise what you mean very easily. Cheers.

I am impressed. If thats what it looks like on a 35mm drop Im lookign forward to slamming mine by 60 all round. I reckon all thats needed to finish it off is some fairly dark tints. Nice work.

Cerwin Vega and Kicker make the best 6x9s in my opinion, but I wouldnt buy 6x9s, as a round shape gives the best acoustic properties vs. surface area compromise. The reason theyve been making em round for decades and you cant buy decent home audio speakers in odd shapes.

I would personally recommend the following: Focal Utopia KEF Diamond Audio MCI Infinity Perfect/Beta Cadence Ultradrive Mission Never heard of Seas to be honest.

Is it Loud & Clear? And by the way Im by no means dissing the quality of JBLs amps, theyre actually very good quality and the RMS ratings are among the most accurate of any mainstream audio manufacturer! But it is well documented in audio test data that the JBLs have a relatively loud turn-on...

Chances are it is a ground problem. It might be due to a bad earth or interference, but it could also be due to the ground loop thats formed between the head unit ground point and the amp. The best solution for this is a ground loop isolator, which kills the extraneous noise without affecting...

You still working for Red Bull? Wheres the Red Bull place in Cumberland Street? Do you know Stuart and that from Ultimate then?

Yeah, to be fair Pentagon aint cheap but they do do a good quality job and its guaranteed so that if you scratch the film or any problems develop with the tints theyll fix it for you. Cappacino quoted me £360 for film on my Clio and Drivers used to charge £380 for a small hatch (until they...

It is me Malcolm, I wondered if youd be able to guess! Right enough, Jamies windows are pretty sound, Rick obviously knows what hes doing. Is his car a Nova? Reckon Ive seen it about. If hell do it for 2 crates of Red Bull then fair play, sounds like a good option. Whos AD, not Andy Diffin is...

The law on tints is that you must have at least 30% visible light transmission on your front side windows. Rears can be as much as you want. Wans got about 50% tint on his Micra, so you can get a fair bit darker. As for the bubbles issue, if you buy a decent quality film itll be backed with a...

McNab?? Is that you???
