splitter i ripped off in a Sainsbury's car park curb needs sorting sometime i just haven't the money due to going away next week.

and Tom you crafty bugger making yours look as low as mine
get it done mate

-Ben-

That was not an easy photoshop mate, had to clone bits, delete bits.

Took me about 15minutes.

Where is that pic of yours taken with the big fuel tank in the background?

outside my house mate (freshly dug makeshift driveway)
we live on a farm and thats teh gas tank.

Cool.

I may see about lowering the car, if I do I think I'll only go 50mm.

I want to keep an OEM look

since when did OEM drop their cars -50mm?


i see what your getting at though, if you go too low you get shi*te loads of problems and it all costs big bucks

get some Eibach -50mm sportline springs, ive heard good things about them

-Ben-

I may go with them ones yeah, but get uprated shocks as well.

That will be in there somewhere along with, audio, retrim (which I may get done) rear bumper smoothing

hmmmm what to do first eh tom??
gotta be careful tho mate, coz if u have a lot of weight in the boot, ie subs and stuff, the car mat sit lower than 50mm just with springs!
can't wait to see the progress tho mate!!

Yeah true.

I'll have to watch out for that, it will be just over 20kg in the boot I think, will be under 30kg anyway

The subs are on their way here from the states, I think I just have to wait on the comps and 4 channel amp, then it's all go

I was hoping to have it done for the summer shows but that all depends when it gets here.

i'm sure it will be here in time, if not just have some cardboard cut outs ready in ur boot with pics of whats gonna be there!!

(u are the photoshop king after all )

Well the sub is expected in about a month, the big amp is already here for sale, it's just the 4 chanel and comps I'll be waiting on

you're gonna feel the extra weight in the car (I skim read the above)
Its like always having a little midget in the back... thats why I got rid of my double sub....

Anyways... You considered buying a power cap so it doesnt drain the battery...theyre pretty cool little things for big ice installs

Don't know really, a lot of people say they're a waste of time tbh mate.

I should hopefully be alright with the standard battery etc, if not I'll perhaps get a bigger battery instead

2nd battery is the only way to go. Power caps are b*******s

I dont know what the deal is with them... Only recently found out they existed... My mate got one in his car... and even if he takes the keys out etc it keeps the stereo on.

I dont think there would be many problems with the standard battery tbh... maybe only during winter.

Out of curiousity where would the 2nd battery go... not all that much space under the bonnet
