So this weekend has been taken up by fitting HKS Hipermax RS Coilovers and a new sound system.
The coilovers were a doddle until the rear driver's side shock bush decided it was rusted solid around the bolt. We had to chew it up to the point where the rubber came free of the outer sleeve. The next task was to try to get the bolt free from the bush......5 tonnes of pressure on a press couldn't budge it so we had to cut it into 2 halves.
As this happened at 8pm on Sunday we just had to put the 2 halves back in and replace the knackered bolt with an M12 and nut.
We spent a good 8 hours in total on the job but the last shock took us around 4 hours to complete.
So moving onto the sound system, I went for a Pioneer double din head unit with Parrot bluetooth, Rainbow components, Hertz HX250 sub and a Hertz HE 800w 4ch amp.
As I couldn't be bothered with the fanny on with running cables through the conduit to the door speakers I decided to mount my woofers where the rears belong, the tweeters are in the obvious place on the dash and the sub is sat on the "parcel shelf" with the amp behind it.
Overall I am extemely pleased with the sound quality, Rainbow make some of the best speakers out there and the sub was in my competition winning Focus ST from way back whensday.
I'll upload some photos of everything when I get home....
