Help with 6.5 Components please? £250 budget
Dblock replied to slimjim's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
Ahh. But really try the focals k2p or higher. I bet it's everything your looking for. I know what they say listen to them first but with car audio there is too many variables. Source unit, quality of track, amp, crossover settings, speaker location and speaker enclosure or lack of. If you can check out some dyna audio stuff higher and focal and rainbow and some Boston acoustics. Mb quart and phonix gold are good too. Always opt for a silk/cloth or soft material tweeter if possible as it will make the sound more laid back. The soft speakers mids too will be very gentile and warm. Plus they will be efficient as less power will get them moving. -

Yeah why would you want awesome focal speakers with the great tn52 tweeter and soft warm speakers in your high end Japanese car nothing to do with Renault Cheers for the Rainbow info Not sure I want that Focal French crap in my car though -

Id be up for a swap with that momo wheel Hey pal... possibly very interested in this if we can find out for sure. What condition is it in? Any lacquer peel on the plastic panels? Il get some pics up. I hope it is possible as I have a jdm too

way over priced. But it also shows how expensive it is to get big power. I bet all of his stuff cost him close to £20k. people who FI there 350's never seem to keep them and I bet they kick them self afterwards to.

Full sound deadening install - Any pics anyone?
Dblock replied to slimjim's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
Dynamat is over priced for what it is. How deadened you want it? Cost? Plus if your still running that Gorky jl amp I wouldn't bother Il put some pics of my deadening being done. IMO I wouldn't deaden your boot only the inside of the oem sub location -
+1 the other cars are fairly normal.

You think fish fingers are 100% fish for the price? Anything over about 40% is decent. Some have as little as 12%. HOW THE HELL IS A FISH FINGER THAT'S ONLY 60% FISH NOT RUBBISH?! -
imo silver calipers look horrible, looks like ones crappy cars come with. are you sure you want silver? Plus IMO if you could get away with powder coating it you would be better doing that

err read the last post? I reckon the 5.5 hours is bullsh*t and the mechanic probably just wanted to be paid for sitting there drinking coffee and twiddling his fingers, as he couldn't be asked to fiddle around with the exhaust or wasn't competent enough (I apologise if this mechanic is on this forum or if I've offended anyone with that comment). I just find it hard to believe somebody sat there fiddling around with an exhaust for 5.5 hours, I would have given up within an hour if it was that awkward. It took the guys an additional 15-30 mins to sort the issue out. All-in-all I was charged £80 to fit the full exhaust system. I personally wouldn't have gone for the Toyosport exhaust if I hadn't got it free due to the sole reason that there aren't enough people with them on. Now that it's on and didn't cost a ridiculous amount to fit it, I am very happy with the exhaust. The noise and looks are just perfect! The fact that no modification was required to the car itself to allow the exhaust system to fit (i.e. removing the diff shield), highlights it weren't extremely awkward to fit. I agree with what both of you guys are saying here. The biggest problem is that there is no consistency with the fitting. Some fit ok, some fit really really badly. The scorpion is always the same but the cars slightly changed which made the route by the diff abit awkward. I have the revup car and the scorpion fitted perfect first time. When you go to the likes of nismo, hks, 5zigen etc etc(ie premium exhausts) They fit perfect everytime. The reason for them being much more expensive is that the designing and testing stages, and equipment used, to make these exhausts are much more indepth and accurate. This is why there is such a big difference in prices and fitment. Is that how petty you are going for a dig.... And you are wrong http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=48018&hilit=Hks+Uk+part+no+Hks+exhaust+Uk

Good job then, I heard talk of itb power I think the number was 196bhp. If I kept the Clio for myself I was really thinking about getting one. Shame because as you say it only had a few drawbacks but I guess it was too good to be true. Its only really coming to light recently, since a lot bought on a group buy and some are quite disappointed it seems. Its a shame, good power with no maintenance and keeping standard ECU and all features was a good idea.

Your on cs more than I am, but it was just coming out as I stopped paying alot of attention to performance mods for the Clio.

Just don't take the gain past 11 o'clock. As with such a weak amp you can easily send a clipped signal and send you voice coils smoking. Also if it's dual voice coil make sure you wire it right.

Jms are good honest guys. Their inlet manifold makes more power than most ITB's. Numbers mean nothing though IMO and unless you know how to do the dyno yourself your at the mercy of the people controlling it.

Well, I am kind of "stuck" with the size box i have. Which is the 1117 in³ = 0.646412 ft³ one. I am not after a LOUD setup... I really want a quality one. Quality? How do you mean?
-
IMO falkens are too soft to do anything near 25k.

Keep slamming the door closed then after each slam press the window up.
-
the size of you sub makes less difference than the size and design of the box. How loud do you want it?
-
Interior looks really really good. Is it painted or wrapped?
-
OK... so I am reading between the lines and hearing "You Muppet, we can't recommend an Amp till you decide/buy your sub" You need to be more blunt with me my good man ok size 8" or 10"? Price £50, £100 £150+ ? Brand whore?

Are you sure its 0.6cuft? I know a guy in glasgow that did an install on both sub and glovebox he said it was 0.4cuft but after the sub displacement it was 0.3cuft unless he built the boxes very small.
