Yeah maybe, I don't really have anything that would be sharp enough to cut it while not cracking it all like side-cutters.
Another small update for the stereo, swapped out my bass remote and bought a PAC-LC1 'bass' remote. Basically it fits inline on your RCA cables, and works more as an 'amp remote' than a bass remote. On the current remote, you turn down the bass knob and it puts the extra bass down to 0, but the sub still plays alot of noise. Now with the new remote, if i put the dial at half, the complete amp only puts out half the signal.
It's basically a gain remote..
Seems the more i drive this car I already want more power lol. I hope i don't talk myself into a camshaft before i get my dirt bike

Well I CBF going out to check but i took out the centre sub box and put one behind the seat - the sub touches my seat when playing fairly loud but i can deal with it, i was sick of elbowing the subwoofer box.
On that note, I've ordered a short-shifter which will either come tomorrow or Monday. Finally going to do a full engine/gearbox service and get that all good too.
I ordered new springs as they sent the wrong springs - hopefully this time it'll raise my car just enough for it not to scrape on my driveway.. Here's to wishful thinking.
Also been looking at camshaft kits, I'd love to go a VCM 7 but i just feel it'll be surging too much in traffic, so i'm turning towards a VCM 12.
For people curious:
VCM 7 232/234 @ 112LSA - 2500 to 7000RPM
VCM 12 227/227 @ 112LSA - 2200 to 6800RPM
VCM 12 is more comfortable as a daily as it has that slightly lower rev range, but it still will pull 300+ RWKW so hopefully that keeps me settled for a while!
Lastly, bought some touch up paint and touched up the door handles on both sides and fuel flap. It's not perfect but defintely looks better.
