Jk_starlet1.3i Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 lookin at a nice set of toxic coxails with built in tweeters, am also thinking of mounting subs in the passanger door cards, you know how it has a recess for putting your crap in.... should be do able, just need slim subs... slipknots new song is sick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 i think subs may be to big depth wise, theres quite alot to one of them. it would be goodif you could find some slim ones and managed to mount them there though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jk_starlet1.3i Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 i'll need to measure up... but this is the sort of thing i think would work sub info link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 they could work man! didnt even know you could get slim jim ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jk_starlet1.3i Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 ill get it measured up 2moro after work and get my results up... ill start a proper ride thread too..but the sub set up would have to wait, ill get new speakers in the mean time. ill get started on body work 1st, get it all smoothed and sprayed where neededget the wheels sorted till i can afford new ones and get it loweredwhats the best way to lower it on a budget ? just lowering springs ? 40mil ??ill go look in the tech section anyway... there is one more thing do the door trims come off? when i've been lookin about people just seem to be sprayin them... ??

Sparky Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ahhh seen this on ebay not so long agoThe previous owner deserves a slap for doing that to it Looks like its in good hands now though Plans sound good, the bump strips come off easily enough just heat them up with a hair dryer and peel them back slowly, then use some white spirits or something to remove the glue left over Oh and whats the name of Slipknots new song?Welcome to UKSC by the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jk_starlet1.3i Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 **UPDATE**I will be starting some work this week but nothing major till payday, will be starting a proper thread on tues after i've done a bit of tidyin up and get new pics. glow in the dark paint for the wheels and door trims is now a no go, only place that seems to sell paint that would work on a car is house of kolor, and i cant afford to pay to have paint shipped from usa plus someone said he spent over £1000 to get some but he did paint the bottom half of his car... so wheels be either white or black... you'll have to wait and see see yous in the ep riders forum !!
