White VY Berlina *Picture Heavy*

sweefu: If you do ever get the time to do it, please do write up a How To on anything sound related. I'm still hanging out if you're at all able to get that group buy going on sound deadener and then I'll be looking at getting some decent splits and finally installing my two 8" subs. If you have any ideas or suggestions on boxing the parcel shelf for my 8"s let us know, but I figure I'm going to get too much rattle so they may end up in the boot.

Anyways, congratulations on the novice winner trophy and I'm looking forward to more of your updates.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Should deffinately look into the HBD front lip...check out mine!

I'd love the front lip mate, I'm a huge fan. Though at the moment any money spent on my Berlina goes to maintenance and audio, all other funds go to my track car

I'll keep organising a few things this week, time is tight with uni and work, but I'll send you a PM this coming week mate We will be able to work some things out.

Thanks all!

Bit of an update, its due for the 130 000km service. I ordered air, oil and fuel filters for $34 delivered, pretty happy. I've also got some adjustable polyurethane castor bushes to replace my old split items. There's a few pictures from the last car stereo competition also, but I didn't do well, I'm missing a tweeter. I entered for fun anyway, but the car will see a lot more work between now Also, I'm moving house so I have a shot of some of my car parts. Got parts?

I really like this pic!

Woo new socket set

1/2" drive, 8 through 33mm sockets, matching imperial set, metal geared ratchet (can be rebuilt), 375mm breaker bar, lifetime replacement warranty - walk in / walk out.. No sending stuff off. Made by Sidchrome for Gasweld stores.

Wasn't planning on entering MEASQ this year, but with a longer commute to Uni / Work (moved house) I thought I may as well use my last week of uni break to fix up the stereo.
Finally getting my new tweeters in
I think these have the potential to turn out very well, this is a bit of a trial.

Left side, with dash trim on

Right side, no dash trim

I haven't tried many angles yet, just checking for fitment. I may round the edges to the same angle as the windscreen / A pillar trim to make it sit more snug, thoughts on this?

 

[Essassin]

Hey mate, how easy is it to remove that piece of trim that's off in the last 3 pics? If it's not too hard could you PM me with how to?

Cheers

 

[sweefu]

Sure mate, very simple.
