well got the front of the wall done aint perfect as i just wanted to see if i liked it aint as in your face as i thought it was going to be witch is good. have sprayed half the tunnel trim panel gonna do the other half then smooth off the inside of the tunnel.

havnt got money to get my 210amp alt atm so got a free battery off a mate its a 105ah. was a stupidly tight fit but its in cudnt bolt the battery down so have put a strap around so it aint going any where

[Tontsy]

haha big arse battery up front there liam!

the trims being carpeted really finishes off the boot!

[Jim-Bob]

Looks good liam!

Quick question...how many meters of cable do you need roughly for the big three upgrade?

My battery light is flickering so I'm going to replace and upgrade all the wiring and connectors to the alternator

thanks mate think i used about 1m but to be safe buy 1.5m

battery light could just be dodgy earth or loose wire on alt but if there all fine cud be alt or battery on way out get a volt meter and see what its reading

Cheers mate, i thought it would be more than that, but then again i've never really looked to see how long the cables are lol

The battery is in fairly good condition and not that old so i think thats alright, could be the alternator but that seems to function properly, and i know some of the wires/sheathing on the alternator connections have seen better days so i'm going to try this first as its the cheapest of the three to change, and a useful mod too

You still bringing the car to T18 in Oxford?

only trebel loud tho bass is still tiny lol

tbh i dont think im going to get much louder than 152 think ive maxed out the saxo the pods have made the doors alot stronger but the top of the doors still flex like fook. voltage is alot better now with the new battery up front so that might gain me a little. the next step would be more power or better subs but ive had enough of spending money so hopfuly once i sell the car the new owner will make it louder

yep car still goes goes well thanks

[liam_b]

didnt like how i had the door handles so ive mounted the standerd door handle surrounds looks alot better doesnt look like ive jsut cut a hole in a bit of wood like it looked befor.

but do i keep it black or do i spray it red and keep the handle black?

[Tontsy]

new owner, make it louder?
i couldnt see anyone pulling it appart and sticking bigger woofers in there tbh! not once they just spent how ever many grand on buying the thing!

you'll get a tidy ammount for it id assume!

and spray the surround of he handle red
the pods, in red look sweeet!

[liam_b]

true i wanna try some 15s in the saxo bord of the tunnel alot of people where confussed on the weekend and didnt have a clue where the bass was coming from lol 4 15s would be less cone area but i could have more port area to make up for that

well went ists for the weekend and didnt manage to finish the car in time the box, doors, front bumper, grill and wheels where flexing like crazy so ive got some more box bracing todo other than that install wise its done just a few little fancy bits todo still got about £500 more left to spend wish i didnt but want the car completly finsihed to how i want it

placed up the front arch and side skirt yerterday really think im going to have to fork out for some coilovers back of the side skirt is held up with a match box front is a roll of tape lol

[Barton1806]
