anyone else heading up to coffs harbour next month for the australian leg of the WRC?

Thinking about heading down, but I'm taking my son to see Ken B in Melb plus going to Syd for Stagea 15th anniversary cruise. Too much stuff going on me thinks.

thought I would post this as it's a great cut

Welcome Cameron. I like the look of your car. You know, I don't think I've seen anyone on here talk about sound systems in the M35. Most people who change head units probably just leave the speakers in place, although I could be completley wrong. Maybe you could become the resident M35 audiophile & tell us which ones work best & tempt us to spend more money? lol.

hey mate, yeh they are 6" splits on the front and 6" co-axle on the rear. the stock speakers have a narrow back so you'll need spacers made up to fit new ones, that and the screw holes dont line up. plus it would be easier to find 6.5" splits

as a sound engineer - I personally hate the sound of kenwood speakers. ide be looking more into the German Maestro or Focal stuff. the type R's seem to suffice aswell..

I have 400 Bad request where ads are usual. WTF How to get rid of it??????????????

What does it mean??????????

:rofl: Yeah, the server that spits outs ads for SAU is broken - its not serving out the ads but instead spitting out '400 - Bad Request' Its not anything for you to worry about, just be thankful you dont have annoying ads there :woot:

Thanks leon, yeah i am in love with my stagea i waited 6 months to find the one i wanted, and ill let people know what i found that fits best and how it all went.

Aaron i indeed like the sound of focal too and in my early years used them and other high end stuff im just a little more concious of funds these days but thanks for the heads up on kenwood have you any other suggestions of what sound good in the main line brands? alpine or pioneer etc

im a big fan of jaycar speakers, they always rated pretty high in the tests in audio magazines

thats cool. the entry level German Maestro's are insane for what you pay for em. theyre probably all up $150.00 more than the kenwood mid range, but sound as good as their top range stuff - and they dont sound too bad without amps either.

im a big fan of jaycar speakers, they always rated pretty high in the tests in audio magazines

as iain said also the Jaycar stuff isnt all that bad - cheap/effective/40-50w which can be run of the standard head unit or any aftermarket without the need for an amp!

I think its just me, but if you have the "gay" facia that isnt 2din, and the panasonic blue door speakers, i wouldnt change them. anything without an amp aftermarket wont sound any good - unless you upgrade to the bose factory system. stock speakers are actually really good!

    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
