  1. In my opinion its kenwood all the ways great clarity. I got a amp for 90£ 600W kenwood. I have a pioneer 12" sub which is punchy as hell i mean i cn feel my ripcage jumping its great. I got this one second hand (means i didnt have to break it in loool) for 50£ but a new one wud because between 70-100 mabe more, for a half decent one, although id always reccomend a mono block for you sub sounds much better and id also try and match your amp rms to you sub rms if ya can dont wanna blow ne thing lool (been there) . But to be honest though if you want a good setup your gna need a g
  2. yea i understand to be honest if you looking for that, then those vibe 6x9s will do the job a treat no heavy sub jus a small amp and the two speakers on yer shelf. Mabe look for second hand ones they will probs be half as cheap as what you'd buy new. However if you jus want something really cheap then what you picked out is fine jus have a look at a better head unit. found a decent package here http://www.caraudiodiscount.com/kdc-w534-i...rs-p-13242.html + ya get an ipod adapter not bad?
  3. being bored i though id have a look these are the ones im talking about http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/vibe-qb69-...71v9mlglb6p5e31 They go down to 30Hz wich is very good for 6x9s nice n low usually they only go to about 60Hz. Also its rms is 200watts which isint bad considering most others are only 100watts. Lol actually looking at this compared to the other ones that are like another 50 quid more expensive these are bloody good higest and lowest freq response.plus max watts of 600. mite look into them lol
  4. ohh have to add that pioneer one does look a bit basic.. it could do the job but probs not very well?
  5. I have a 12 pioneer sub power'd with a 600watt kenwood amp which cost me 80£ off the net really nice amp for peanuts. i have a kenwood headunit which cost me 150£. I also have alpine 10cm's stuffed in the front for sum good treble. I really have to agree about the headunits i have done probably about 6 installs for m8s and if you get shit headunits it make's every thing crap. I really would get an alpine if your looking for a warm sound a kenwood if your looking for clarity, pioneer if you wanna be cheap. Dont consider others espically sony i have heard two different head units
  6. was looking at a different topic at gear ratios n looked at the link to wiki n saw this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_C_transmission scroll down to 5 Speed transaxles its a worn gearbox due to shifter detents being caused by the driver resting their hang on the shifter. hope this helps
  7. Yea it is not too bad with normal driving thuo but wen you kick it, it can growl loud. althought listening to it on the video it sounds very high pitched this isint really what it sounds like in real life. sound try and get it with some better audio.

  11. I no on the net there are some nice apexi silencers however make sure it is an active baffler, if you have a turbo as it will sap power if it aint chek dis out http://www.nengun.com/apexi/active-tail-silencer I also agree it sounds like the car doesnt have the correct compression in the exhaust system, try the cat or baffler, failing that tune your car more to get more exhaust gases giving the exhaust greater compression hope this helps Carswelk
  12. possibilty of retainer clips not holding the pads properly or problem with the shims?
  13. cheers man gna go ahead with that (bloody busted my others lol, speed + rain + corner = skid into kerb haha)

  16. I basically damaged my standard alloys and tried to fit some 4 stud wheels that my mate had on his brnad new fiesta, I couldnt get the wheels on the car the nuts were bour 10mil to close to each other in order to get the wheels on, as far as i aware 4 stud should fit a 4 stud wheel as its standard fitment isint it?? what makes this worried is that i wish to get some replacments http://www.alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_I...earchSize=15%22 and i dont know if these will fit on my car (i know the size will), my car is 1.3 sratlet soleil. any help would be appreciated???
  17. Sounds like there isint enough compression of the exit gases. either a leak or a possibily of you system being too "free flowing" exaust systems work best under slight compression which aids transport of gases out of your exaust system. just had a look on the net and came across this. is your engine powerful enough to be puming out a decent amout of exit gases? a remap mite also help for various problems you have stated. hope this helps jon
  18. Thanks for the help ill probs have to keep the pee shooter for a while then lol till i can sell my kidneys lol cheers reli helpful. Jon
  19. Ok one question what back box should i get i have seen the blitz nur and HKS systems, but will these attach to my standard down pipe, just tinking that these will have a much larger diamater that the OEM back box??
  20. Hmmm.. powerflow dosent seem too bad an option, Only thing is that i have heard some bad stuff about them. have you had any work done by them? yea I know 300 for a Job like that takes the piss.
  21. Hey im new to UKSC, I have had my starlet for for two years now and have bought a universal back box. I no this is cheap and bad but as im a student it all i cant afford it, and im sick of the pee shooter out of the back. I have it fitted but basically the garage shafted me and put some crap piping and it cracked within two months and i cant get them to fix it! any ways just wondering what i need to do in terms of what piping i need to purchase (sizes angles, reducers??) so i can get a real welder to fix it?
