Yeah sounds good. Just thought I'd ask because photo's always make things look awesome :).

Where'd you pick the intake up from?

The intakes a DUSPEED intake. (I think I'm allowed to promote his product on the forum).

They're worth $725 posted to your door, although may depend on freight charges to your area.

If you search in google they have a website which will give you his phone number.

Cheers bud.
I'm just hunting around for the most stardardish looking OTR at the moment. Alloy ones are cool, but stick out like monkies nuts :).

For those out there that are interested in the stereo side of things, I've finally got around to finishing it off.

Speaker wise went with the Kenwood eXcelon series splits (KFC-X1730p) for both front and rear. Front tweeters went into the factory locations in the dash and the rear ones i cut into the parcel tray where the 6x9s would go.

All of the boot has been lined with Dynamat, worked really well to reduce the amount of rattles in the boot.

next job, wait for a tyre to arive, had a screw go through the sidewall of one of my 20's the other day, so got crappy 18's on the rear. tyres not expected to turn up until first week of december and get front bar and bonnet painted.

Got new tint done today. got 18% carbon. in my opinion it looks a lot better than the old stuff, a lot darker as well.

Haha, thanks mate. I'm going to take clinically clean as a good thing and not an OCD thing :p

It takes ages to get it to be that clean but to keep it clean all I do is use a sponge while washing the car and run over it all.

Also on an update note. Stinger 200amp dual battery isolator arrived today, now just waiting on the battery terminals to arrive and i can get my battery tray and optima yellow top battery which will go in the passenger of the engine bay where the factory airbox was.
