Lol, there is a 6 disk in the boot.Originally Posted by Funkstar
It'll either get ripped out completly and possibly a car pc, otherwise its going to get stripped out, caged, all the sound deadening removed and the 'sensible' exhaust replaced with something else, so a stereo will be quite pointless
I did wonder if that might be the case to be honest
I've discovered a tuning shop near me. Apparently they are good and been around for years. This may be a bad thing for me...
I'll see, for the moment its going to stay like it is, but it's not going to be used day to day, I've got the Ford for that, so the idea of a bucket and a cage is v tempting!I did wonder if that might be the case to be honest

Oh I see, in what way is it bad . . . . Oh wait it isnt!
Bad for my wallet mainly.Oh I see, in what way is it bad . . . . Oh wait it isnt!
Paid off the Golf the other day, so I'm going to start with a stereo overhaul soon (shame you can't sell head units on here, I have a growing collection) , then I shall see about some performance enhancements, might stop me looking for a replacement, which really wouldn't be a good idea considdering the parking situation at my new place.
Hang on, havent you already overhauled the stereo once (maybe twice) before?!
Your GTi is crying out for more powers. . .
Replaced the stock head unit with a JVC AVX-800, DAB tuner and BlueTooth receiver.
But the DAB aerial is an internal job on the front windscreen. It's pants. The problem is the first revision of the MK5 GTIdidn't have a roof mounted aerial, so I'll need to punch a hole in the roof to mount one. Found an aerial that has AM, FM, DAB, GPS and GPRS receivers. So I'll get decent DAB and I can then feed the JVC NX-7000 Satnav system (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-kw-nx7000.html).
Next would be speakers, which is a bugger as there are 10 of them. The only company that makes them is German, they are good, but failry expensive.
Rear and side view cameras might also be in order, would help with parking in my street.
Nice car Guy, you'll have to take me for a spin some time. I really liked your last one so this one should be really special.
10?! 10! that doesnt sound cheap!
James: Yeah once it's back your more than welcome to hitch a lift
Especially when they aren't standard sizes.10?! 10! that doesnt sound cheap!
The front doors have three each, the back doors ahve two. The backs are easy as and are about £150 for the pair. The fronts have active crossovers as well, so the drop ins are about £600 for the set.
This is going by pricing I got about 18 months ago so they may be more not the Euro isn't as good.
Should be an easy instalation. But two small 2 channel amps under the front seats would be pretty cool too
Very nice, so when do I get to go for a spin in her?
Oh, and the wheels are gorgeous, don't change them
Well if you werent so made of fail then at the lan!
See I do kinda like them, but hmmm forged goodness in the shape of NISMO LMGT4's
LOL, when I saw the title thread, I thought there's someone wishing to start/add a little one to the family, good for him/her, a congratulations is in order and best wishes, click I come here to the automotive segment, definitely wasn't expecting this but must say that is a beauty!
I was going to ask whether you would be bringing this to the LAN.Well if you werent so made of fail then at the lan!
Well 3.5 hours on a train, 2.5 hours of driving, some work, and a 5 hour drive and I'm back!
Managed to knock it down a bit more, as the air con needs regassing, and one of the rear tyres will need doing soon, and 255's arent cheap!
Total price £1850
It also only used half a tank from Teeside, back home, not bad I dont think!
it's about 250-300 miles from Teeside to Reading so that's a respectable journey....how big is the tank though
