Should be a video, not a picture.....

Might even tape the cable to the HU so it don't move at all Nothing dramatic happens, because when you hook up the HU back to the wiring loom, it will try to spit the tape out. I kinda anticipated this, thus left the flap in the default position in case it ejects. If you need a hand, let me know

Typical response from Dan - but I kinda expect it from him To be perfectly honest, this does really work for me. May I also remind people that I run a K1 without bungs.... But in the end, a car will always have somesort of roadnoise and especially us Zed owners, due to the fact that our boot area kinda blends with the rest of the cabin. It's called a "ghetto mod" for a reason. I'm not an audiophile that demands perfection, just an average joe that doesn't want to spend £500+ on a new headunit and harnesses.......well not yet anyways

Not CD quality, but better than radio

Not wise to ask for vodka for jobs, especially when I am mentioning travelling to another town in my car, lol

plugged into rear powersocket via a car charger And is that wire hidden away? I'd be interested to see how that looks, the reason I ask is that I doubt that my car charger would reach that far! it looks rather ghetto to be honest, but that's why it's a ghettotastic mod, lol. will pop out and take a pic after I've eaten... EDIT Here's the pic of the charger

clicky axle has a distinct metallic sound to it, not a groan, like Trav said, it's prolly dry drop links

Nope, but I could do it for free, as long as you already have a cassette adapter (Belkin one has the smaller iPod style plug), a car charger and an extention lead. It's a 30 min job at the most and I'd prolly be able to come to Lowestoft to help, provided you can pay in cups of tea

we all have a tape deck with the effort why not do the tape deck hack? good job though Cos unlike you sir, I am hopeless with a soldering iron...

bout time you posted on this, will sit and see how it turns out (of course hoping it's gonna be fantastic)

Thanks guys

I quite like my Bose headunit, mainly because I haven't really had any issues with it. I did have a FM Transmitter, but it was pants, especially with a stubby aerial. I purchased a Belkin casette adapter and even though many warned away from the cassette adapter, I found that the sound was fine for my liking. The only thing that actually bothered me, was the fact that I had a cable coming out of my tapedeck and it made it look quite naff. I decided today that it was time to do something about it and get off my lazy arse and try and tuck it away. Here's what I used: Belkin cassette adapter and the standard Bose HU I inserted the adapter before removing the HU, which would make it easier to route the cable later. I spotted a suitable hole on the bottom of the HU which I deemed suitable for my endeavour, because I could see the tape deck door/flap through it. Then I loosened all the clips that held the fasia panel and lifted it Luckily for me, the 3.5mm plug just fit through the hole I chose Then put it back together HU back in the car, I was thinking where to actually put the cable and iPod. rear cubby was the answer, but the existing cable was too short So I purchased an extension cable (3m with gold plated connectors for £9.99) Connected it one end and tidied the cable somewhat Removed all the bolts that hold the tunnel down and routed the cable to the rear cubby Cut the hole in the baseplate a little bigger so that all the wires could fit thru Quick check that it all works ok And there you have it, iPod connectivity on the cheap and no wires visible in the cabin, yay!

Well, here's a clip of it with bungs out, lol (my car) And one of my mates K2

I'd say the apprentice owes you a set of springs......which you can then sell to me, hehe

I wonder if they come in 20"

Put car in gear and chock the wheels to stop movement and then jack up

Well, there may be another offering for me, but that's top secret at the mo, if I decide to do it, then you guys will be the first to know

I popped down to Raccoon myself on Sunday to see what they had. Black wise, they had the gloss black, satin black and matt black, plus the CF effect. I may go for the gloss black, mainly because Steve, they guy that runs the local Raccoon shop, pointed out that should I ever decide to sell the car, then it would be reversible, rather than havng a painted roof that may not be to everybodys taste. Also in talks of possible discounts for members in the East Anglia area, will keep you guys posted on this

What we need now is a van, petrol powered angle grinders and ninja suits

might be worth asking the seller to see a pic of them on the car, with closeup shots too of the fitment. Also ask if the GT Exhaust comes with it for free

The ones on eBay that are from China are the ones to avoid. A quick message to some of the traders on here might yield the results you are after, especially with the ones that mostly deal with CF bits, like scottsoulby, Carbon Forza, Carbon Coops, to name just a few

Well, I'd never thought that making a funny comment would descend into the drama that it has. I only made the comment in regards to the date itself. Amy should receive her car on the 21st and I thought it was a funny thing to say that there is a mod day the day before, so she could get a bunch of mods right before getting her Zed and not waste time with modding. But it seems that some people read something completely differently between the lines. Like someone already said, some support Man City and some Man Utd. And then there are others that just like football. When Santa Pod do a Ford only day, does that mean you are never going there again? Think people....think....sometimes things aren't sinister, they are just that simple. Regards, BulletMagnet
