That detailing day at Andy's place was epic

That detailing day at Andy's place was epic

Yeah! We need something like that again

[Adam_SRI]

Quick Update;

Decided to do the sound proofing in my doors after hearing the difference it makes on Lukes car at Trax

After first attempting to do it myself and failing I decided to pop to Gairo's to let someone who knows what he is doing sort it out

Used "Anit-Vibe" one roll per door.



First the door card was taken off;



And then Chris set about doing the door









Nice job around and behind the speaker hole





Door plastic back on





And then the second door;



Makes a massive improvement to the sound And no more door rattle etc

Got an Amp on order aswell to boost the speakers from 50W to the rated 80W RMS so should be epic

And will then sound proof the boot floor for the sub aswell

[Adam_SRI]

Look what the postman brought

[Jeimuzu]

Has that reduced road noise at all?

[Gairo]

It will have helped slightly James but to reduce it considerably would add in excess of 30 - 40 kg of weight as you 'd need to do the entire car for it to be beneficial...

[benz]

would that be any good with standard speakers

[Adam_SRI]

Just as a quick follow up on this I can confirm it has made a huge difference to the sound quality

Some updates soon hopefully, as will get the new Amp and powercap fitted and then my HID fog kit

[Adam_SRI]

Update;

Popped round to see Gairo and Smiffy today to have my HID Fogs fitted

The kit, from eBay;



With Oscar of course keeping an eye on the work;



Front bumper off;







Chris's very neat wiring of the plugs;



Ballasts all tucked away;





Bumper back on;







And a finished shot;



Will get some more later when its dark But they look spot on, match the Bi-Xenons perfectly

1 hour job, proper job, thanks again Chris and Mike
