  1. graham goode ebay auctions.. a lot less than £200 :shutit:
  2. i think youve missed the point. all teams have agreed to caps but wanted this staggered over the next few years so that they can minimise the immeadiate impact on their teams and amongst other things not have to dismiss hundreds of people..
  3. unless something drastic happens its the end of F1 as we know it.. Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso have all declined to enter F1 for 2010. The eight teams, which together form the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA), failed to reach a compromise with FIA president Max Mosley over plans for a £40m budget cap As things stand, next year's F1 championship now consists of Williams and Force India, along with the three new teams, USF1, Campos and Manor. i agree with budget caps but surely they should have been staggred so that the teams can gradually make cost savings, ie staff! If they agreed these teams would have to make hundreds redundant overnight..
  4. my favourite is bigger subs and a bigger box that is wedged in!!
  5. if i was going for single din its where i would start. i still have the older model as i cant let it go!
  6. they couldbe damaged.. im not sure how the oem speakers are wired and i dont know if they have any sort of crossover built in but I would assume they have something inline and this may have blown. can only suggest trying new speakers really or possibly playing a test tone sweep and seeing what freq's are coming out of the tweeter..
  7. have to agree with Bazza here, mortgages are a minefield and if your not careful you can end up in a similar situation. some deals seem with affordable monthly repayments but it may be over 45 years and a ridiculous interest rate. that is why the banks are in such a state.. personally i feel really sorry for this guy. hes been ripped of and probably feels terrible now but is too ashamed to admit it..
  8. yeah, let me know when your over this way.. its not overly customisable. your limited to a wallpaper then one of three skins.. thats about it but it does work very well, easy to read and control while driving.
  9. yeah, i intend to test that one evening, i think with the reverse lights it should be fine.. it was ok in the rain today! the 8220 doesnt offer lane assist but the new 9240 does. however at around £1300 i would expect it to!! the nav is very reliable, i have never lost signal, responds quicker than the lexus unit and seems to offer better routing than the tomtom. The best thing about this is that it takes the best form 3 diff manufacturers, Parrot for BT, Garmin for Sat nav and obviously Kenwood for audio. I think its the best units out there bar the 9240. does everything i want and handlesall of the multimedia switching. only thing it doesnt do is video over usb but it does off the ipod video. i really couldnt recommend this unit more! let me know what info/pics you want and i will happily help. if you fancy a trip to nottIngham you can have a play or pop down to the meet in july if you can wait that long!
  10. lol.. thats women! im sure my misses would say the same. she thought something was wrong with the car when she heard the exhaust!! reverse is fine now and its a lot smoother than initially. still find it a little stiff when in traffic but its great when on the open road! @aaron,that one looks a little big and only has a 90 degree viewng angle. i got the last of this one but i may be able to source more in the next week or so..
  11. My reverse camera arrived yesterday and at £25 i thought it was a bargain! its quite small with the lens being less than the size of a £1 coin and about an inch long. i uses this LINK to remove the number plate strip (no pictures but fairly self explanatory) and mounted it under here with some drilling into the boot behind this panel to get it nice fit and for the wires to pull through. its quite stealthy and will be more so when i paint/spray the housing in Platinum Ice to match the car.. i also used some dynamtt to ensure that it doesnt rattle or move! i wired it up so that the camera interupts the display when the car is put into reverse using the wire in the passenger side footwell that goes the the reverse lights> and power for the camera comes form the remote feed for the amps. This is so i can switch manually to the camera without being in reverse if i like. and heres the view in the car! it may need adjusting slightly but it works pretty well i can just see both extremes of the bumper, tested by putting two buckets out and trying not to hit em but getting really close!
  12. lol.. i was thinking the same!
  13. at £160 i would NOT expect to have to do any of this.. very poor goods..
  14. your talking at least 10mm which if recessed into the mdf would damage its integrity. like i said there isnt much clearance behind there and there is also the drainage tubes. without extensive work i dont think there would be much hope of getting any more flush than it is. The materialis stretched to go over the speaker so its a bit of an illusion as to how much it is raised.. as i said i think with covers on it will disguise the speaker a little more..
  15. its projected at 50million in advertising revenue for him alone.. At Real, the players sign some if not all of there image rights over to the team..
  16. i think when i get some better trimming cloth i will put some grills on underneath so that all you will see is the slight bulge and not the shape you see now. there isnt enough room behind the pillar to completely flush mount these and too much involved to build up the panel so that they are flush.. hmmm, maybe i could build it up with some dense foam!! will see how it looks when i get some new cloth..
  17. at the price of this i wouldnt expect it to look secondhand and to include fitting instructions.. have you been onto his forum? looks like he was online yesterday..
  18. pockets are shallow mate!! just some very good deals on the equipment and lots of time to invest! hopefully should have an amp this week until i can get the one im after.. unfortunately this means the boot trimming has to wait!
  19. iirc it will fit but will hang out of the end a little more than usual..
