rtbiscuit

ok this is a follow on from the cubby i have just bought, nothing wrong with it as its a nice piece of kit, matches the interior perfectly. my problem is that my sat nave is too wide by 4mm its so close to fitting but yet so far here is my satnav and here it is sat ontop of instead of in the cubby and here is a close up showing by just how much, its litterally the thickness of the plastic i've been racking my brains on how to get round it. i cant dismantle the unit as there are connector slots and dials and switches on the front. i cant cut the sides out completely as i'd cut through the guide rails for the lid and the lid wouldn't work, and i'd also seriosly weaken the box. but i have been looking at the unit itself. the amount of plastic i would need to loose is exactly the thickness of a lip that runs round the outside, see exibit below how safe do you think it would be to sand off 2 mm from each side? one side has a little led bit on ot, but you'd never see it once the units in, and all the sides are hidden in the back. i was just contemplating taking the power sander to it, does anyone else have any better ideas?

have recieved cubby and put up in a seperate post with dimensions in the guides section.

some bits i have other bits i'll need to buy still but i have a good idea on all of them the exact items i want

no one came back to me on this and answered it

Why do you drive backwards? i had one and quite liked it, but then i did get bored after 8 months and sold it for the zed. it was my shortest car ownership yet. normally i last a year before i get bored and then spend 6 months finding something new.

nissan put me off the 350z, my wife persauded me to go back and try it again, but demand a better test route. had a ford siesta as a courtesy car for 3 months hated the thing with a passion, it was no advert for buying ford put it that way. ford escort test drove, decidedly uninspiring. test drove one of the older supercharged BMW mini's, like ian i did scare the crap out of the dealer who passengered in the rear. did what he told me to do, he said give it some beans round the round about and up the slip road to see what its capable of. did as he said. slid sideways round the roundabout. and was at 85 half way up the sliproad. i think the colour from his face drained right out.

many fond memories of anglsey, but it wasn't me

its not really a choice, if i had the cash and wanted complete stanalone i'd go the haltech route

i'm due to fit my pioneer Avic F500 with in the next week or 2, just waiting on a new cubby to mount it into, and i'm hoping it will integrate straight into the stock headunit. it should do all the things you want it to as well as bluetooth phone conectivity. but as yet no one else has fitted one and i will be the first. as sooon as i get it in i'll let you know.

Is this your work? Suits you Mark. yep thats my handywork, marks design though, i just brought it to life

its come up really nicely, glad you like them, suits the carbon well

Dude are you blind? Check above the pics in the first post! its too much time watching porn, he's going blind

alot of track insurance wont cover the ring

i come a naval family so i'll have to take your word for it.

welcome along, just out of interest ... soldier, sailor or fly boy? glad to see you made it home safe, i have a mate in the marines and he has just got back recently as well. look forward to seeing pics soon

that looks absolutly stunning paul, credit where credit is due they are perfect, big congrats to you. by the way those switch plates are just what i need

finally got the little feckers on.

thats a fairly industrious piece of kit, the ones i have at work are fine for wood and plastic and glass, and i can just about engrave aluminium, but not to the depths that thing of yours is cutting. am very jealous

no one have any ideas of a good supplier of these, i can't find one anywhere? The Greddy ones we can get no problem how much would i be looking at?

if thats the case, then mine feels like its been used for the paris to dakkar rally every year and now my suspension and shocks are due an overhaul

7 and a half years for me

will borrow a glue gun from work tonight and fit them when i get home. got a cricket match tonight so will be late, but i will put up pics when they're on.

don't have to take a picture, but a rubbing of it would be extrememly helpful.
