Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I've got one of those 8" boxes too, I might use it one day I suppose! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk VR6CABBS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Have you sold the 8v yet, I'm strangely attracted to those wheels?!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not put it up for sale yet mate. Will be doing that in a couple of weeks. If I don't get the money I want for the car I will be selling the wheels separately. So if you would be interested let me know. Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose a bit of bass is better than none. I've seen a nice 8" Alpine sub which I'll be ordering very soon. Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I was looking at the Rockford too. Chose the Alpine one as it had the highest power output and I wanted to keep the big amp I've got in the back and turn it down a bit rather than buying a new one.

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Fair play, Ben bought a Rockford 500w and it's about 1/4 size of my infinity 600w. How technology changes!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Alright Ben how you doing mate? Im pretty sure my mate said the box is wedged in tight because of the boot install for the air ride. How did you fix yours? Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Can you read my last post it's just blank for me!? I drilled a hole in it then ran a long bolt through it (behind the speaker) into a rivnut I put in the inner rear quarter panel, basically it was a ball ache! That's why I asked I'm good by the way, thanks mate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Last post I can see from you is the one where you said about testing out your Rockford. I'm glad my one isn't bolted in. Need to take it out soon to get at the indicator bulbs to paint them green as I've got red flashing indicators at the moment because of my all red rears.

ibs 308 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Quick pic of how she's looking at the moment. Pic taken in Worthersee, Austria last week. Decided to go back to a standard front bumper, swage line smoothed and had the slats at the bottom taken out otherwise they were hitting against the intercooler. Smoked fog lights put in and the insides of the headlights were tinted by me at home. Genuine phase 1 vento grill put on as I was getting tired of having to pop the aftermarket grill back in after every drive because of the poor fitment. Bootlid has been smoothed also. Now sitting on Merc 17" wheels which I managed to find after 6 months of looking. Easily available in 16" but 17" are quite hard to come by. Had the outer edges diamond cut from a local place and the middle kept silver. Air ride running perfectly but will be getting the arches cut out soon so can sit lower.

ibs 308 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Been a while since I was last on here. I had lost motivation on working on the car. Basically wrecked 3rd gear on the way down to Worthersee earlier on in the year. Fortunately made it back home and the car has been parked up untouched ever since. Saturday night I was watching some vids on YouTube and I thought about how much I miss the car so woke up Sunday morning got some tools together and headed over to my mums house where the car has been left all this time. The plan is to get the engine and gearbox out. Strip down the engine and replace any bits that need to be replaced and get the gearbox sent off to a specialist to get sorted. I managed to get a set of Wossner pistons a couple of months ago so once the engine is back in I can turn up the boost a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
