Mods Update, Ongoing Project :-)

[James S]

yeah, I tend to just turn up the tunes, can't hear the rattles then LOL!

Bargin on the lights fella, if you find another set that cheap holla in my direction!

look forward to pics of ski mounted speakers,

[DJ Wozza]

Try Dynamat or similar James. It helps a lot, but will require a fair bit of work, and isn't cheap.

[Rob's Lexx]

sound work as ever chris!! looking good matey.

another bargain u got for yourself with those lights matey!! did you get them off eBay fella?? are they a lexus part, or sprayed by urself mate??

be good catching up with u at the midlands meet matey - seems like ages!!

[redz_UK]

dynamat or similar will help to deaden the sound but wont remove all rattles.. in fact it can create more!!

Bass pressure will always follow the path of least resistance so what you do at point a can move the rattle to point b!

i have found that a pack of blue tack helps with 'most' trim rattles as well as enusring that all trim is held down securely or screwed in properly..

you may however look rather starnge crawling round your listening for rattles!!!

will be good to see all of these ICE'd out cars at the meet!!

i agree, will have a good nosey as never really been into the ICE theme myself. some good builds from members on here though so will be good to see some in the flesh.

But ......no sitting there blasting 'toonz' from ur stereos - the corsa club will be round in their masses if they catch wind of that :P

Couple of pics of my new hid kit, the ballasts are very small and thin and think there very good value for £59 for a PHILIPS hid Kit off eBay :D will fit them in the morning to see how good these ones are :D

Shows how big the ballasts are next to the bulb itself, so should be very easy to hide them B)

[Yeldarb]

Same HIDS as mine in the main and dipped beams!! Only problem with HIDS on main is by the time they are warm some :tsktsk: wants to use the same road as me on the other side!!!!

[aido]

Bet you can't wait to get these on mate! What's the little black box attached to the ballast?

Only got them for the dipped beam again as my last set packed up and i've been missing them :)

Thats the starter pack mate, most hid kits i've seen and owned have had them inside the ballast box? and these are supposed to a lot more reliable due to being an inline starter but dont quote me on that good price though for a named brand :)

[aido]

After seeing the ballasts on my car I think I'm going to start buying up old CPU fans and selling them for people to put on their ballasts

They look cool mate, like you say with them being smaller will hide away loads easier than the big chunky boxes you normally get!

[aztecbandit1]

Fitted the front speakers today nearly? got the Mids fitted but got to mess about with the tweeters :duh: Made some MDF rings for them to sit on and so far sound pretty good B) My amps arrived today too, so got to fit those and the 6x9's if i get chance this week :)

1 of the JBL Amps :D

[sparkystav]

Chris there is no end to your talents, again you should make a few of these if it doesn't take long an sell them on eBay, I'm lazy I would buy them lol... So I could just screw new speakers in without hacking up the stock ones :D

[aido]

Good skills mate, yours sounded great stock so looking forward to hearing the new system :)

[aztecbandit1]

Got the 6x9's fitted today and again i made some MDF rings for them, just got to wire them in now as i ran out of light today

The rings i made..

First 6x9 fitted...

and the pair in place....look back seat still in place ;)

Cant wait to get them powered up now :D

[aztecbandit1]

Did a bit more today for my car, Prepped and sprayed my TRD side skirts and Rob_lex's rear TTE skirt in primer ready for the top coats? Letting the primer harden off over night inside our boiler cupboard (just hope my other half doesnt go in there?)

Got my paint mixed a couple of weeks ago and not sure if Rob wants me to have a go at his for him yet? but might do it if i get time and the paint sorted

Hopefully get them on the car this weekend and then i've just got to find a rear skirt for mine. :)

[Kazi]

Gonna look sweet mate when she's done. Tope work on both projects!

[aido]

Good job mate, look forward to seeing how these come out :D

How do you apply the paint to these than mate, have you got a special applicator gun or something or does it come in an aerosol?
