[Tweek]

im considering trying out a rat look

No, no, no and no

[jonyb4]

lolol

umm it was taken on route to aberystwyth was taking a mate back to uni car was loaded up on the way there

and yea i agree nick

[jonyb4]

im in the middle of doing some more mods to the fez

firstly im installing a newer cd player, its the same kinda model as before just with pre-outs and a mid range adjuster, i bought a amp wiring kit and some acoustic carpet

im gonna pop out to get some spray adhesive as i dont liek the idea of having staples showing or sticking throught he otherside and jabbing you in the fingers

under the carpeting is a pair new infinity referance 100w rms 6x9's
payed only £25 for them too , nice to have valuable contacts

matting was £4 on the bay


this is what ive ended up with by tonight, ive made a stand for the subwoofer thats tied to the strut brace (by an extreamly thick cable tie ill add) and some rubber insulation to help stop distortion, and carpeted the wood, staples sticking through the wood prove usful in acting as a grip on the boot carpet

and my old amp is powering it, which will need replacing one day when im a bit wealthier



i will update more when the other mods have been done, ive had a list of things to do for the past week but been crap weather or busy stripping wall paper to crack on, but it includes meshing and a seperate mod includes calipers

[jonyb4]

ok the sound system is now finished

the shelf is now stealthed:





amp is screwed on tot he rear bench and sub in place:



all tieded up and tool box etc back in



and a view of the stealth shelf:





was a nice red sunset so thought id go for some pics





and my favorite

[dontpannic]

Is that Sub open at the back? It would sound much better in a sealed/ported box Looks good tho!

[jonyb4]

it would? eek lol im a noob with subs its my first,c an you explains please might help me, it does sound a bit distorted

[dontpannic]

it would? eek lol im a noob with subs its my first,c an you explains please might help me, it does sound a bit distorted

It has nowhere to echo - you're essentially just pushing air backward and forward. If its in a specially designed box, it will sound much, much better as the sound is being echoed in the box. You have to spend £££ to get a sub that works without a box The JBL's sound awesome and in a correct box it will definitely rattle the whole car
I only have an 800W mutant sub and get comments like 'My eyeballs are vibrating'!

[jonyb4]

ahah cheers mate, ive somewhat got a box

ill try and work on it and carpet it right, cheers nick your a great help im reading your thread atm

[dontpannic]

ahah cheers mate, ive somewhat got a box

No worries mate - I did the same with my MK3, Just had the sub mounted on a bit of wood - as soon as I put it in a box it totally changed it

[- Danny Boy -]

What the hell have you done to that sub box??? That is not going to sound right at all, get it boxed up again! lol

[Ratspeed]

What the hell have you done to that sub box??? That is not going to sound right at all, get it boxed up again! lol

Thats what i thought!!

Bless em

[jonyb4]

as said, im a noob to subs, could you be more snappy?

[Dave G fsi]

Looking good mate! Like the sunset pics too.

Get that sub boxed up and it will be awesome

[jonyb4]

lol i failed that one didnt i , not sure to buy one or sort out that half arsed home made one

[dontpannic]

lol i failed that one didnt i , not sure to buy one or sort out that half arsed home made one

Buying one will ensure it has the correct air volume to ensure optimum sound

[Dave G fsi]

Yea, its probs best to buy one to ensure its right

[jonyb4]

yea, i one as much boot space as i can and with the tool box and strut brace its lakcing already, if i bought one i could slide it under the brace, ill have a look around, wont be too soon im skint

[jonyb4]

update


got some painting done under the arches but due to rain only the front passenger side is done so far, chassis etc is in hammerite silver and the caliper has been done in hammerite red
the calipers been done due to the the older paint fading etc







If anyone needs any mk4 ghia parts, let me know as its getting weighed in soon


jon

[Matt Mk4]

Looking good mate.... i do like that stealth shelf, looks brill.
What kind of condition in my fiesta now then? haha

[jonyb4]

lol i was actually gonna sed you a pm abotu it, brace yourself mate...

[jonyb4]

my new wheel brace which i took the liberty of painting while doing my arches
the one spoke is red to point out that its the correct end for my wheel nuts, 19mm
the time ive spent flipping it over trying to get he right end
(along with the battery covers one of the free gifts from a mate)



battery cover



rest of bay



a random of wheel and clocks



the poor ghia is in a right state, since my mother is meant to be getting a new car as the celica is too much fueling for going back and forth to work and is too low for my mother to get in and out, its gotta go, and since im in the well know of fiestas and have one spare in the garage, the plan was to drop a new engine in and mum can have it, but since a new engine is 150-200 quid, and the fact that the whole n/s of the car is heavly scratched due to being stored in a building site (previous owners garden) its a bit unpresentable, and after i told my parents i really wanted fromany parts fromt he ghia we decided that buying another written off car would be mroe economical for both me and my mother, i could have my parts, sell what i dont want and we can repair a cat C or D right off for less/similar than buying and engine and deffinatly less effort from me lol

we have had many close buys from Dhales motor salvage auctions but now a local car needing a new wing, headlighs , grill bonnet windsreen and maybe bumper has popped up, and theyre wanting only £150 for it, so its a prime example, due to my mother having arthritus PAS is essential, which it has its in a bergandy and has 79k miles on the clock, its looking promising, thats if i can get it started and runs fine when i have another visit, all the parts ill be taking from the ghia for this car if we buy it and it will be weight in to make room for this other car

so pressure is on me to strip it quickly lol, while selling anything that someone may want while i have it, i personally want for my own use on my own car: the PAS system, boot (to practice with), electric windows, central locking, electric mirrors (thats if dean doesnt buy them but hes ignoring me :whip: )
to get all this wiring loom out i gotta take the dash out, and to get the pas rack etc off i gotta get the engine out

how it fairs now

my grampa working hard, nice of him to offer to help, he did say he enjoyed himself



wing off


a right mess aint it

[Matt Mk4]

My garden is not a building site :O LOL

[jonyb4]

lol, ofcourse, nevermind the car...

[Matt Mk4]

haha i blame my dad and his cement mixer lol

[jonyb4]

[Matt Mk4]

[jonyb4]
