Thanks guys, I'll get some more up soon. In the process of installing a CarPC (raspberry pi) with a touch overlay screen (got everything need, just need a converted from the overlay into the USB controller). Also just installed a 5 channel JL Audio amp (XD700/5) and bought an Audio Control LCQ-1 for an OEM integration solution. I'm going to initially hook it up with my twin 12" Kicker comps and stock bose splits set to HPF. Should sound sick, but might swap out to some Vibe or Focal speakers.

Found out one of my shocks / shock mounts is stuffed, so will be lowering the car while im at it (thinking SSL all round) and will eventually get some 20" Supersports and HSV Grange bobtail spoiler.

Nice car mate. Great choice of wheels too, in my opinion one of the best looking wheels going around!

Look forward to seeing some more pics.

Thanks guys. Been flat out with work and working on my sound system. Took a heap of pics with my SLR so ill have to throw them up. Been making all my own custom amp leads and looms.

I've cut the wires going to the factory amp, put plugs and sockets on both ends, and made my own loom to go from those plugs into my LCQ1, custom 75ohm coax RCA's from the LCQ1 to the XD700/5 amp, then another custom loom from the amp back to the factory plug in the boot which runs to the doors.

Everything has been crimped, soldered, shrink wraped, labeled and sleeved for a nice clean pro look.

Hey guys bit of an update! Just ordered myself a 3.45 LSD out of a SSV manual to drop into the Caprice, its been ridiculous driving around with 280rwkw in a single spinner! Hopefully that will go in this weekend to replace my 2.92 diff, give me some better take off and more traction!

Been thinking about grabbing some WM Grange / Senator wheels aswell... but am currently looking at some KONI FSD front + rear shocks + lowered springs...

Also ordered the last part of my touch screen conversion, so ill be ripping apart my dash to hook up my touch screen kit and car PC to the stock headunit and my after market amp! I'll need to organise a VIM kit very soon also...

I'll put up some pics as i do the work :)
