Car(s): 2003 Saxo VTR
CarlStinson is on a distinguished road

small update to what i have done with the car just before the car show,
replaced my old plates that had advertising on with some plain,
stick on plates for a cleaner look


Swapped my blue rocker cover for one i sprayed black, has some pitting by the badge but thats the rocker cover its self
(after 300miles seems to not be leaking like my old one did from the front or at least no wear near as bad)
also cleaned my ICV while i was there, using some black silicone to join my standard cold intake piping together as it just felt very loose


my driveway is down a dirt road and you could hear my exhaust scrapping,
and after 1-2 weeks the exhaust paste would just crumble away from the knocking and flexing of the joins,
so i replaced the standard saxo clamps with these ones,
which meant i could tuck the stud out the way from being knocked and bent
(found these to clamp alot tighter and better than the standard ones,
also replaced the paste with 300 degree sealant which is proving to be amazingly better.


finally i picked up my new sub and amp,
12inch JBL GTO1202d 1200 watts 300rms and JBL GTO 2060 400watt amp
i have this amp in the window now,
now running JBL Comps up front, JBL rears, 2 JBL amps and JBL Sub
