Liam get your van'd like this ^^^^ (if your still going ahead with it?)

Looks awesome when its done and completely smoothed out!

James

Well i havent replied in here for a while..... :n:

Hows everything going? Got anymore updates for us? :D

x

lol whats this thread turnt into. tbh im not bothered that tonto beet me to vaning the saxo it was just an idea i was/might be doing and not because i have seen it on the polo as i thought of the idea befor i seen it at ists just because i thought it would look good on my car and be different.
90% of the things ive done on my car have been done befor i just like to bring all the ones i think are good together in one car to make it a one off

anyway back to the updates:
rear circuit breaker is in had to move some of the fuse across but some of thos will be removed soon as there not needed so boot will look a little more neat

sprayed my front brakes as the white started turning a nasty creamy colour as i sprayed them last year. you lot think there white enough? lol


have remade the interchangable port system as i broke the last one because i was in a rush to get to mod nats this one is being made out of 18mm mdf instead of 12mm and the ports will be fiberglassed in

finaly have got some of the panels done for the tunnel just need to finish off the main chamber and work out the porting

Wow those brakes are white now lol...

The Hairtricks should be alot more fun and easier once you have the tunnel in, alot more cone area :D

Keep Us Updated With The Tunnel :y:

looking good liam. thought your calipers were pretty white when i saw them, but always good to give them a fresh coat.

Anything major going to be done by modified mania?

could you get any whiter ?!
so the tunnel is in progress?! so how many you going to be going for, 8 ?

keep us updated Liam!

btw, how did you find low n loud?! saw you and Matty there... but didnt see much booming going on?!

ta steph

thanks mate did them properly this time and sanded them down so i got a smoother finish

nothing to major but will be a bit louder with the mdf roof and trying to sort out some of the rattles outside found out at low and loud that a winegum under the bonnet stops it rattling :P

haha, winegun, now thats a modification lol

never even thought about sanding the calipers down, i just used a wire brush, or should i say actually i got my ex to use a wire brush lol

dont think i could maybe give them a gloss finish lol
yep tunnel is getting there 8x 12s 4500rms :zainy::afro:

should of come over and say hello mate was an alright show wasnt meny people there but some decent cars on show 4 walled cars where there but i was loudest and won the sound off.

wasnt booming much at the show as want to try keep the car in one piece for t17 but did have a cuple blasts and scared the vibe rep again lol

yh **** sound proofing just jam winegums every where lol just dont let them get wet then dry in the sun as thay go realy hard and dont come off body panels well lol

i used a wire brush 1st time i did mine but using a sanding block gives a lot more flater surface

the tunnel is going to be safe man!
cant wait to see it when its done ... what you doing amp wise then? selling the 1201 or getting another to run the extra two?
how long you think its going to take to be complete then? dont make the same mistake of it not fitting out the front door!

notice much speed difference and fuel difference now its all out?
i bet it feels like the clappers? :P

4x 1201 amps it should be done end of the month depends if ive got the cash to buy another 1201

havnt taken the wall out the tunnel is being built in the same box just the front panel is being changed might try 4 15s at some point too just depends how bord i get and if ive got the cuft

Looks well nice mate!!!
Where'd u get them 3 stud alloys :)?

4 x 15? the GT5 or something with a bit more kick to them?
i think you will be the first person to actually rattle a saxo to its death!

DO IT! :afro:

thanks mate got them off ebay about 3 years ago havnt seen them any where else since

not sure was thinking some re audios but need some thing that likes 4cuft per woofer. haha im trying my best

that will be the only killer, trying to find air space! ... i can see where this is going
"sorry Mrs, no passenger seat, i need the very valuable cuft its taking up!"

lol yep but at some point i want to get a van so i can go crazy on that

Any more progress for t17...5 days!!! :D

shsss dont remind me ive got half the install back in now just need to finish off the ports will get some pics up in a bit

Cool Get Some Pics Up! :)

that looks really really good, much better than the previous install :D

really coming along :)

thanks mate

is that just resin and hardner youve used to hold the ports in place? looks alot better! thought you were going to do a tunnel install? or are you getting better subs before you start it?

yh just resing and hardner thanks the tunnle is still in the making will be in some time augest

had a awsome weekend went to t17 in oxford on saturday drove up with a few lads from ta and one on the lads in a punto lost his sunroof when we where on the moter way luckly the lad behind him swerved out the way befor it exploded on the floor lol he still enterd the competions with his roof coverd in duck tape lol.
i managed to get up there in one piece tryed my 45hz ports and the where an epic fail so back to the drawing bord put my 25hz ports back in and it was fine got 148.2 dB drag then 150.2 propper droppers walked away with 2 tropyhs :D

after t17 i drove up to wolverhampton stayed in a premier inn witch was a nice change from sleeping in the cold cramped saxo sunday went to bass junkies open day witch was one of the best open days ive been too 1st time ive been and there seemed to have more than some of the small car shows lol that wernt using the normal mic people test with so my scores shot up 154.9 with the doors closed 156.9 with the door open got 1st place there :D

all in all a good weekend manage to drive 500 miles in the pure saxo with the clutch going got about 20 miles from home went up a hill and the clutch started smelling think its time for my 4th clutch in 2 years lol

Where was t17 held liam?

Never heard anything bout that if i'd of known it was on i'd of come and checked the car out!

James

156.9 ? lol got to love it!

was expecting to see some major pic up date on some serious tunnel!
good news about the trophys, did you ever get back to jbl about the trade?

iv notcied since ive had the bass in the back, the clutch is starting to become a wanker! :n: got to be done though!

was in a field in oxford its a yearly free meet for talkaudio mumbers awsome meet all the big boys in audio turnt up from the sq fairys to the all out nuts spl guys

the next shows that i no im going to are devon car show next weekend then trax in sep

well done mate! glad too see the works paid off :)

lmao about your clutch, probs all the strain from the weight man :P

Oh ok i'm a member on TA but i dont think i've ever posted on there, but next year i'll make sure im there as its only down the road from me.

Should have the VTS and i'm just starting my boot build :), i'll only be there to look round though as i won't be anywhere near powerful enough to compete.

James

yh thay used a audiocontrol mic the db drag and prooper dropers use a termlab mic witch are the the mics that are used world wide but i was happy to piss about with the ac mic lol tryed tryed doing 150 @ at 20hz but it seems the lower the hz the more simular the reading is to the termlab mic so i only managed 148.6 at 20

thanks i might pop to bnq sometime this week to get the rest of the wood for the tunnel then il get lots of pics up of me playing around in saw dust lol routers are awsome but so ******* messy lol

thanks mate think the clutch is more to do with me trying to pull away fast when i have no power lol so i just pull away slowing even tho im revving the crap out the engine lol

kl il make sure i remember you next dont need any thing special to compete some people bass race stock audio at 119.9db i did 149.9 bassrace at t17 only got 146.6 but still walked away with third lol

Well the set-up i've been given seems to have an under powered amp imo, need to get the model number and do some research on power figures so might give it a go if i can get them up to the full potential.

James

well done bud! wheres devon car show? is that th one with kit cars?
