Where the hell did you get that smilie from!

Nice username!

Cheers chaps!!! Lexx - I partially agree about the colour etc of trim. I did debate it a fair while but in the end I wanted it to look fairly subtle but classy and thought the black offset the blue bottle and chrome magnets on the woofers nicely whilst also matching my new seats! H5 - I haven't got it setup just yet. Have had a couple of niggling problems such as an RCA going which needs to be replaced and the controller for my Epicenter also needs re-soldering due to a bad connection!! I'm also currently building my door builds which might take me a couple of weeks or so!!! Once it is all done though, I would really love to have a professional or someone that knows what they are doing set it up for me!! I have a certain level of control with the system as it also has an EQS in there and i'm running the whole system actively!

Very nice indeed! Had the same rims on my last car as well

Very true - if you were to 'hurt' the people going after your car you would most likely face far worse consequences than if they stole your pride and joy and drove it 130 mph through housing estates or ram raiding shops. My dad caught a bloke trying to nick the radio out of his car, my dad hit him repeatedly with the car door (he was half in) and called the police. The bloke got let off, not even a telling off. My dad was interviewed and was told he was very lucky but was not going to be prosecuted this time but they would be 'watching' him. Was just about to comment about the potential consequences of fighting back. It is a sad world we live in when people such as your father get in trouble for defending what they have worked to get.

whats a donkey punching session? taken from urban dictionary. Haven't heard that one before!

Breathe dude!!

Not good at all. Luckily for me, my Z is garaged every night and has two cars in front of the garage as well so would be a fair amount of commotion in order to get to it *touches wood*

Cheers Shopping either gets delivered or goes in my Corsa

Thought I would pop a few work in progress pictures up of the boot build in my Z. Almost there now Firstly I fabricated an MDF frame to fit the components that were being fitted, mainly two Focal 11" woofers and my NOS bottle. You can also see where the amps are sitting. I then stretched fleece like material over the frame to make the flowing shapes. Stapled it in place underneath. I then needed to make sure the NOS had a secure and tight location for it to sit so I wrapped the bottle in clingfilm and foil and made a fibreglass cast of it to get the perfect shape. After a test fit..... ...the resin came out!!! This made the fleece go solid and make a solid base to work on. Added some fibreglass matting to the underside of the build to strengthen it and to leave the top, viewable layer as smooth as possible. Then the NOS cradle had to be added in. This was trimmed down to fit and then glued in place for the time being. Once in place this was glassfibred in place and I used some P40 to fill in any small gaps around it. Test fitted the woofers as well Once I was happy with the way everything was fitting together, I covered the whole thing with a sponge like lining which would give me a bit of room for movement when trimming and give the final touch a softer sponge like feel Once that was done, I started the trimming with some black leather look-a-like material. Had to do it in a few pieces as the material wouldn't stretch as much as I was hoping but still came out ok I think. Once I was happy with that, the woofers and NOS went in! I then trimmed the side panels and strut bar cover and reinstalled the lot! For the other side of the strut bar, I simply made an MDF cover for the other 3 Genesis amps and trimmed this in the same way and slotted it in! The (almost) finished project build!! Hope you've enjoyed my little presentation. Any questions?

Looking good Phil

Fair play!! I think a lot of it came down to us all trying to make as much noise as possible in the underground car park and tunnel to concentrate on where everyone else was going!! Anyway, sorry to slightly divert the topic. I'll stick it in the diary now and try and make sure nothing else gets in the way in the next couple of months.

Will definatly try and come up to this one as I couldn't make it to the last one and it does sound like a good day out! For my 2p's worth, I would have to agree that a convoy of 40 or so will just get split up. Us South East Mafia had a hard enough time finding each other in a Bluewater car park and then got lost and split up going through a tunnel so god knows what will happen with 40!

Ok, i'll have the 5th one 1. Digsy 2. Lomoto 3. Lexx 4. beavis 5. Andy

Do you have a picture at all?

and good choice on the colour!! As for extras, have a word with the traders on here first as they could save you a small fortune on Nismo wheels, kits etc

Correct, the European parts base is in Holland. Have ordered a few things that have come through in under a week from Holland (still pretty poor really!) and some things from Japan direct which have taken about 4 weeks to arrive. Hope you sort it out sooner rather than later mate and like has been advised, if you're not 100% happy with it then reject it and make them correct any mistakes.
