  1. Are you sure it was? Usually a nice sealed box with the right amount of cuft will give you a nice clear crisp sound. Was your old box ported? I agree with Mayyv6 though. I run a 10" with 0.6cuft sealed with 1200wrms and it sounds ok.
  2. It sounds amazing! ITBs on the VQ is super cool.
  3. Personally I'd ditch the rear speakers they are bad for sound stage and unless they are as good quality as your comps they will reduce the quality. Also I do understand Iso boxes need half the space but I find they aren't as smooth as sealed or good ported boxes. Low end is usually heavy and would you have it sealed or ported?
  4. Am evo with a sticky caliper?
  5. Did you notice it? I removed my rear speakers as I though it was a waste and the soundstage was wrong.
  6. I got mine for £10.13 only cos I know the salesman.... That wink, it makes me uneasy Agreed though £40 for wipers is stupid.
  7. Happy birthday
  8. Looks like a good quality kit
  9. bluetooth car kit?
  10. Happy birthday mate
  11. Yes. I personally though the vreds werent great through puddles of water. The winter tyres really pump water out and you can drive through the puddles with no clenching. Normally your going along at say 70 and see a puddle normally you scream and go through it whilst hoping and praying. In winter tyres you can go through it. No tugging of the wheel and the car always feels in your control. Even in heavy rain bar soft sidewalls it grips and grips
  12. Omly problem is, my 18's have fresh vreds on them bit of a predicament now lol. Might be aswell just losing out this winter, burn the vreds down, get 19's and snow tyres for 18's next year. You could get 17" JDM wheels as the snow tyres will be slightly cheaper and they can be had for £100. A guy on here is selling snow socks. As you said Irfan you can feel the difference just when cold. I know you guys get alot of rain on the west coast but I found winter tyres very rarely aquaplane which is handy. 2 years ago I used the snow tyres ( that was the bad winter ) and it makes a massive amount of difference to driveability and safety. On my 172 I just used to change the tyres on the standard wheels as they are 16"s so cheap enough plus they where not in perfect nick. For my dads and brothers car they use their standard wheels aswell. For brother wifes car we change from 18" to 17" to protect the 18's and the 17" have winter tyres on them so when it snows I can just throw them on.
  13. I bet you will be fine on winter tyres. I will be running 4 rwd cars with winter tyres this year and I wouldnt have forked out if it wasnt worth it 1. for the ability to get around 2. to be safe whilst doing it. Honestly in snow or bad rain you will love having them and probably never drive again without them.
  14. Why do you want 2? Why isobaric? If for looks I agree but otherwise I'd get one good quality sealed 10". How much cuft you got to play with, budget and what type of sound do you want ideally?
  15. Also it could be dangerous as most of the cars that crashed 2 winters ago where 2wd or 4wd cars. Cars that braked but kept going through a junction and smash. Cars the even at slow speed couldnt slow down smash into a curb. You could also try to slow down or understeer into another car a reason why my cousins car needed a new door. Saw a fair few land rovers/range rovers getting stuck due to the wrong rubber. Also thinking because they have 4wd they could slow down and then remembering they are in a 2ton tank. I'm not being funny but do you even get snow in essex? Come to Scotland when its snowy and you will see that most cars will get stuck. If you dont think its dangerous then you should have no problems with mixed tyres.
  16. Coming from the tyre master thats silly and dangerous advice. Please explain to me how it's dangerous. Seriously, how is buying a car that is better in the snow due to the laws of physics dangerous? Not convinced it's silly either, but I'd much rather hear your argument as to how it could possibly be dangerous. In April it snowed heavy style up here. I was running my 172 with goodyear eagle f1's. They are 195's. It is fwd. It was terrible in the snow. Understeering and abs constantly coming on even driving safely. Max speed was about 25-30mph in the better areas. I then drove my brothers car running 265's at the back and 225's at the front winter tyres on front and back. No wheel spin, no sliding, when braking the car didnt skid slide or pull either. I had taken the winter tyres off the 172 a week earlier as it was warm 4wd will just dig into snow with the wrong tyres. I drove my uncles q7 in the snow once which had summer tyres on it. It was shocking. My aunties x type had 4wd it got stuck, cousins x5 stuck etc etc. My car when I had winter tyres was able to accelerate AND slow down safely. Also how does 4wd slow you down quicker?
  17. I like the colour. I think it shows the lines of the car well.
  18. Coming from the tyre master thats silly and dangerous advice. Germany is full of RWD cars. They dont all explode in winter. Winter tyres are a must 4wd will only spin 4 wheels if you have no traction and dont help you stop. So you will get stuck and possible smash into someone or something. Winter tyres if your drving around in winter conditions. Nankangs SV2's dont cost much plus they last for years so dont cost any more than summer tyres. If you want something better then you can spend more. Plus snow socks are a temp measure and they will shread on tarmac and takes a while to put on and off.
  19. 12k for a 370! provided it looks decent then I'd go for it!

    SRS light

    I'm not sure tbh. But I'm sure someone clever can suggest some multimeter tests to check the basics?
