Hey guys, got some minor news, I finally got a new set of speakers! I've gone with JBL speakers. Purely because our studio back home
uses all JBL gear and it's never put a foot wrong. I've got GTO608 splits in the front and GTO628 2 ways in the rear. And I now know why
it sounded so crap before, when I ripped out the old speakers (from the retard previous owner) they were all $50 fusion coaxials!
Oh and the amp is just a VSA jobbie that I grabbed off eBay for $80 bucks, I've only had them in for a couple of days so I haven't given
them a big test but I'm so much happier with the sound. I can see why you would get addicted to audio gear :D

Ugh, I'm fairly sure the shocks down the right side of my car are bitched out, it's sitting about 1 inch lower than the left.
Plus I've got some shudder under hard braking (as well as appalling squeal) and a knocking noise from my front right
suspension which I'm fairly sure is the swaybar link pin. If I'm to replace the shocks I might as well get some moar low.
The equation looks like this
- Brakes : New front and rear rotors + pads. $400 ish
- For the knocking noise : New link pins + replace all bushes(because the whole front end feels loose atm). $400 ish.
- Suspension : Shocks, springs and VY cradle. $700ish
- TOTAL : $1500
These are all high bids so i would hope to get a bit of change from $1500. This will all most likely happen early next year as I'm still at uni for now.
Just thought I'd let you all know, I accept donations :D

It's been ages, mostly because all of my money is going into university. Higher education FTW!
Anyway so from the above entry I managed to do 2 things over the summer, got the brakes and link pins.
Drives much better now, just thought you ought to know.
