id say it would keep the dust away in this weather.

I got a few dust spots which is annoying! But the amp will be hidden behind the sub anyway so not bothered

[FarmerPug]

are you only going to have 1 sub in the car

In the boot I think as subs have to be in boxes.
And yeah this is it...

But the sub is now going in this box...

that would be strong enough to blow out all the glass in a 10 mile radius

Right feeling allot better about this engine now
Noticed this morning when you switch the car on it blows light blue smoke for about 5-10 seconds, after that it goes back to the grey smoke that it always chucks out!
This tells me that the valve stems are slightly worn and letting some oil in while the engines switched off This is pretty good news, aslong as I keep an eye on it, it should be alright! When it does get bad it's easier to find a new head and have it rebuilt and stick it on.
The grey smoke I think is somehow down to the fueling, there are no other headgasket signs! The water level stays the same and the theres no mayo in the oil!
The oil I THINK has a petrol smell to it, though I'm not 100% sure. This could be down to the start/stop driving the cars had most of it's life (Current oil is about 6months/6k old) or the overfueling could be washing the bores. If it is washing the bores then I need to be worried, this means the oil is being diluted with petrol, also means that the oil burning is worse than I think as the petrol would be topping it up.

Other than that the oil is a nice colour and it's used this much oil in 484miles...




Also this is the colour my calipers are going...

WOW thats a sound system there, so then the things i have in the parcel shelf of my car is subs according to the manual. Is that big flask thing a 1 farad capacitor by any chance.

On the issue of mayonase on the oil cap this cold weather seems to do that, ive noticed it on the 2 suzuki engines, my mums clio, my uncles previa, and the ride on lawnmower either they all have crap engines (which i doubt to be the case with the previa) or its something to do with the weather.

ive always been a fan of audio systems, ever since i got my 1st car 8 years ago, dunno why i just like the music LOUD and clear

[FarmerPug]

is it hard to pick up all the audio terms and all thats needed for a good system, ie to learn what all the things are.

[Gary406]

nah its very easy ,,

[FarmerPug]

Ill need to go to halfrauds and do some looking about in the audio section although theres a scary amount of stickers with brand names on them.

[Gary406]

JBL amps usually most popular these days and JBL speakers, halfords only sell the JBL speakers i think

best place to buy car audio is here all my amps came from here
