Littlle update: while the carpets are out i thought it would be a good time to get some deaderning down using 3 packs of Silent Coat Extra Door Kit's then this is going to be coverd in Second Skin Luxury Liner Pro then some Silent Coat Noise Isolator 8 to top it off.
had to sand back and paint the floor with some anti rust paint, the car has been leaking for 3 years and had started to rust the floor slightly so thought it would be best sorting it now as im going to be undersealing the car some time soon ![]() ![]() |

Quote:
Do you recommend any good ones cheaper than that for running the car and for audio (replace stock car battery) Thanks |
Quote:
theres some cheaper makes around big yellows go for around £30 and one of thos in your boot should be good for around 1.5-2k biggest cheap battery ive had in the front is a transporter battery witch was 105ah best bet is looking on streetbassers or talk audio for cheap battery makes on there |
How much have you spend on this over all with car aswell. :clapping: sick work tho

I hope you are getting a standard heigh rear axle! I guess it wold deck out from the weight!
Your current beam was lowered, prior to the installs right? Geta valver, on itbs! In there and have, the ultimate saxo tbh! |
looks ace mate.... u attending any shows this year would love to see it in person

Quote:
yeah the current beam in lowerd 60mm. engine i want todo but really cba lol Quote:
|
well 0 gauge runs are now EMMA friendly painted the holes with anti rust to keep them rust free then used 4mm deaderning to keep it sound, air and water tight, tomorrow im going to cable tie them ever 6" plus swap them around to fit the d3100 as the positive is on the drivers side so none of the cables reach

Little update: manage to find some birch plywood at last phoned up 15 companys as all people where selling was birch faced but manage to find some solid birch for £48 deliverd still over 3 times the price of mdf but hopfuly be worth it tho.
I replaced the sub wiring from the 18gauge to 14gauge i did want to go larger but the wire was free (thanks to matty and tonto) so went with the 14. I also made all the wire the same length just so all the subs get the same resistance. I know thos kind of things have an audible difference but still nice to know every think is 100% the same lol ![]() Tomorrow hopfuly have my 3rd pack of 4mm deaderning and some new carpet so i can get the boot back together once ive put the birch in. |
update car is finaly getting back together got the 2 back panels of the boot remade in birch also made the 2nd panel better so it seals up yo the car more, the price of birch was 3times than mdf and 3kg more weight but hopfuly should be alot more stronger
![]() ![]() cant remember why but i made a 1cm gap when i 1st made the panel so made this one a tighter fit ![]() ![]() ![]() |
finaly got the new panel on used gripfill to seal it and also added some screws as for the last two years the right hand side only had one screw but all sorted now and 100% sealed
![]() remade the bottom panels to fill the gap where the big yellows where and to hide wiring better ![]() started todo work on the boot lid at last going to be fitting a few things on it then get it all trimed up ![]() ![]() cheaking clearance in the boot should just about clear the amps when im done ![]() |
mate im surprised that the doors havent fallen off yet :fcuk:
thats some nuts sound system haha |
I knew my cable be come in handy one day, haha!
Looking good man, when you next down our way for a test? I wont break anything this time lol... And what is that your sticking on the boot lid? I thought you woud of put a screen there or something, now it looks like youve ripped apart your epic and stuck it there? |
