Cheers folks :)

Some new updates

Well, after absolute donkeys. years if i mind right, of having stereo gear to go into the old VR, i finally got it done for her.

I've never actually built a boot build before, only false floors. so this time i wanted to do a proper job.

The kind of installs i like are just what i've built here. very straight forward, neat carpeted boot's, that still look like a boot, although i do respect full on vocanoes of fibreglass that make many an install, it not me, and i dont think its the car, which this is.

The Sub box came pre trimmed, so i had to strip it and retrim it with the carpet i had bought. the amp is flushed in, where the centre black bit is flush withe the carpet, and the black triangular section with the red RF logo and the chrome come out a little bit. and the top of the back wall is open for the air of the amp to escape.

hope you like :)

well, after the car being off the road for months and being left outside, the wheels werent looking there best, so they needed a spruce up :)

I also managed to paint the front brakes and rear carriers at the same time to mach the Skoda VRs calipers that were on the rear. i thought it would be a nice OE style touch that was that litlle bit different.

Busy week getting the car ready for Edition and part of that was heading down to Star Performance to get the alignment set.

Whilst i was there to make sure it was all OK, a power run was performed, well it would of been rude not too! :D

And the results of said run was :-

~253bhp @ the Fly

~192bhp @ the Wheels

~223lb/ft of Torque

So considering its just a stage 1 job, happy with that :D

Good Graph, Jim said it was pretty much spot on too, the stealth racing map doing its job :)
