    mischa my fuel economy has come down a bit from that. now hovers around 15-16 all city driving. highway i can manage under 10's

    i can definitely notice a de crease in fuel consumption from the pacemakers. it seems to breath alot easier down low. so not chew as much fuel if that makes sense.

    well the car gave me a present today lol. i was running the power cable for my amps. when i moved the middle seat and a phone tumbled out.

    dont know if it works because i dont have a samsung charger lol. just thought it was random.

    lsd in the next coming weeks :D

    i agree they are louder facing into the boot. but im not really that worried. dont want it to be overly loud. just sound good. and practicallity is the best part. bought the boot setup for 80 bucks. and it saves a heap of boot space. and when its all set up. shouldnt require me to fiddle with it. which is what i want :)

    its the same setup mate. thats the part that faces the middle seat at the back. looks good when its in. looks a bit dodge in the pictures. there.

    ill be having my amps pointing into the boot. nah that sorta fuel eco is pretty good really. considering its hauling a heavy ass car around. and its worth the petrol just for the sound of the exhaust. jizz :D
