not being an 'amature' but how do you know if one of the wheels ave lifted off the ground? i get a lot of what seems to be the car going sideways? i drive my clio pretty hard but i dont think ive ever lifted! i will get my bro to follow me in his golf and we will see! maybe cos its been lowered...

Timmay - ur car is looking pretty sweet, basically my other halfs is excatly the same but not lowered. will drop it one day, jus donno how low to go! Hon

basically ive lowered my mk2 ph1 35mm, and suspension seems to be as hard as anything! handles much better tho! wanted to lower the other halfs mk2 ph2, anyone got any pics of there ph2 lowered? and how hard do you find your ride after lowering? Many Thanks Hon

Thanks for the replys, i will be looking out for the meg's endurance in halfords when im next there. will give my tyres a good scrub in the meanwhile! :D Thanks Hon

hi, i normally use a spray, and dont get the dark black shiney look im after! what gels out there will do the job? Thanks Hon

im not realli a pro with this sorta stuff, but your gonna need a capacitor, this should get rid of the dimming as the bass lines come in. i had this prob with my 12" RF sub and alpine v12 mono amp! but all is well now. anything above a 1.0 Farad capacitor should be fine. Hon

Bon u fool stop trying to compete with me and Gem! lol im sure a filter will be fine! tho u need to lose the 17's before you can realli match either of us on pace! well next time you see me i should have the viper fitted! Take care people! Hon

hmm, i got my girlfriend the viper, will get some pics up once ive fitted it. think i will colourcode the metal bit black. should sound/look sweet. as it stands ive been moddifying her car more than mine :S. looking for a carbon fibre bonnet for her mk2ph2! Middo your car is looking sweet...

Lol, so how abouts do you get it infront of the wheel? which way is it facing? yeah havent we all got 1.2's eh! :D Hon

Hi, ive got a viper induction kit to fit my 1.2 8v (mk2 ph1), do i need an adaptor to fit it to the 1.2 16v (mk2 ph2 03plate)? ive had a look around and it seems like i will need an adaptor plate? anyone know where i can find one of these? Many Thanks Hon

been sitting on the road of a couple days now, broken bumper and flat tyre in Riverview (Gravesend). what happened there mate? Hon

how can you guys eat in your cars...i make my missus take her shoes off first if theyre dirty never mind eating :D

that looks flipping wicked! i defo want that done on my car now :p

Hi, Jus got some Mordaunt Short 902s and they are bi-wirable. I have a Yamaha amp to power these bad boys. But what is bi-wirable and does it affect the sound quality at all? Is it like when you purchase a subwoofer and you can get dual-voice coils etc? Any info is much appreciated. thanks!

I would get the Blaupunkt. I think they look really smart and not too OTT like some aftermarket headunits. Also iirc the DAB54 has recording features as well, so you can record radio sessions on a mmc card! I was goin to get this HU but couldnt fork out the extra cash on top of my Alpine 9812

Hi, might be purchasing a Pioneer AVX-7300DVD screen. Thing is, if i buy this, will i be able to hook my existing Alpine 9812 with it. I have been told that i need a master unit, so i would need to keep my Alpine HU. Can anyone enlighten me on this matter. thanks Link for the unit in...

Dont u think that the boxes either side of the sub are a waste of space? looks like theyre empty...

I thought because Class Ds were digital they were better?!

Ive got a Rocky 12 2212 i think, and a Alpine V12 Class D amp @ 500W rms i think. sounds pretty loud, but would be nice to have an exact figure on it.

look in the back of max power mags, they have loads of them. think not sure if they do them at caraudiosecurity.com

Not difficult to setup the 2 subs...jus got to choose the right amp. crossover...nope should be integrated in the amp. u will need a low pass filter which most amps have. capacitor...hmm...wouldnt really think you would need one, but if u have a bit of spare cash then it wouldnt hurt. You...

Its pretty simple to be honest mate... When choosing subs and amps...go for the RMS figure. Not goin to go into the nitty gritty, but jus go for the RMS values. Peak values are not very helpful. So if your getin 2 subs which are like 250rms...you will need a subwoofer that is 2 channel...

Is that the Alpine M500 mono u got there mate. ive got one of them powering my Rocky 12". Heard u can power 2 12s from those bad boys...might consider a revision install...

Alpine 9812R Alpine MRD-M500 mono ClassD Rockford Fosgate RFD2212 no speaker upgrades yet...will post pics of install later

Sounds like its gonna be a nice setup mate. My old clio had a Alpine setup in it and it was very nice. First get some coaxials for the back. Then get a 4 channel amp and power all 4 speakers. not familiar with the new range, but something like a 4x80W should do the trick. next you want to...

wait if it fails the MOT does that mean i have to have a spare wheel for the test??!?!

need to remove my spare wheel for new ICE setup. Jus wondering if this Holt Tyre Weld stuff is really as good as they say. So basically u jus spray it in and it fixes it and INFLATES it?!?!? oh and is it ok for ur mot?? cheers

Is dynamat really worth it?? Ive jus brought 2 rolls of dynamat extreme for my boot install next week and im jus thinking whether ive made a wise investment?!

thats not a bad price mate, depending on what ur having done. if your building a proper install with the false floor, custom box, etc etc £200 aint too bad. ive got mine in for a install and its £350. but that includes full fibre glass box, false floor all set into the spare wheel well...
