Hey man.
A suggestion, cut up another piece of MDF big enough to bolt all the amps on and carpet it as well, that will make it all look very neat. And you can hide all the wires under it and the sub box. Make up two angle brackets and join it with the sub box so it doesn't slide around.

Sub dont move, its got slices in the back soo it jams into the brackets for the parcel shelf, ive got a small bit of mdf for the amp, there already mounted on that, just need it to be bigger soo it acts as a full floor, tehn ill put in sum fans n another piece over the top with windows for the amps.

Me bro did all the work on the box, just gotta get him a cut list n he will do the rest of the boot for me, for FREE

Thats a 1500kg rachet strap holdin it down, it will do.

eh just went to find the vid of me vs nz shaker n hte one agaist spaced at the drags on youtube i cant find it, do uno who uploaded it, im sure u did totq, but its not on ur username

Yeah those pic came up alrite, cost me 2 rear tyres tho, had alot of fun gettin up there to get the pics, its like up a huge dirt rd hill, no one ever drives on it, cept for hang-gliders sum w/e's.

Scrapped n spun most of the way up, was good fun gettin up there but yeah not so fun for the tyres.

The rear damage is a pain, had to align the bumper but that was soo easy, just gotta sand her back n give it a coat shouldnt be too hard, gotta do the black strip on the front too.

Wow.. those pics are lookin tops :)..
But you hurt her :( what she ever do to you???..... lol jk

i also noticed that you have quite a bit of rear camber a lot more than i do... and if im not mistaken, our cars are about the same height...

^^^^lack of rear camber^^^^
although i have industrial springs which are about 20-30% stiffer than kings, i cant remember the exact figure. But still i didnt think that stiffer springs would make that much difference.. correct me if im wrong btw.. i dont mind :p

lovin the calais bro... should meet up and ill put the calais wheels on and do a photo shoot :p.. too bad u so far away
