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.

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!

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
