GMballistic Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Great pictures and interesting write up ~ going to sound awesome when finished but not as good as that V8 will I'll bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've learnt a loud exhaust isn't always pleasurable Does that mean you didn't enjoy mine that time the exhaust valve got stuck open? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Oh and the V8 will have two exhaust functions: Valve open windows open sound system off, Valve closed, windows closed and sound system ON!! I've learnt a loud exhaust isn't always pleasurable Nice to know the therapy worked Sent from the golf club... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Ok now that house moving is out the way and life settles down again I received two packages, one which opened at work (left) but the other was my Suzi's surprise especially after reaching 100,000 miles today. So what's in the box on the right? It contains a whopping 1,650 watts RMS of musical bliss. This is tied in with the Audison AV Bit IN will provide the remaining connection between the ipad and a FULL Digital Audio System. I'll only be using 1050 watts of the system, which should be plentiful. But will mean that I'll possibly swap the sub for something more substantial as that will be driven by 600 watts on its own. Should be interesting. Suzi comes off the road during August with my daily commuter which will prob be a C270d for those motorway miles but I doubt it'll provide the smiles. Install of the above over the next couple of weeks. Edited August 5, 2014 by Wasso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ian I applaud your obvious enthusiasm for your audio but a Zed is an awful place for SQ on the move even with a tonne of sound proofing, let alone a V8 and an exhaust that would wake the dead Have to say I love it though, even if it doesn't make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 I can but only agree. Although it's an investment and whatever project I have next it comes with me. It's not just the quality that I'm going for, its functionality as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You are going to need the extra V8 power just too pull these electronics around! You may need to consider a supercharged V8 if you want to improve the performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to consider a supercharged V8 if you want to improve the performance I have already considered this, which I'm thinking the Whipple producing 603bhp at the hubs and I think it's 550tq. $7-8000 for the kit, delivery and customs, including fitting and tuning I'd say around £7-8k - I can then pull a fuel tanker around, as it's likely to burn a whole load more fuel Edited August 6, 2014 by Wasso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get the emblem (letter) from??? cheers Thanks The Z is made by Tommy Kaira and are rare as rocking horse poo on Mars. They aren't cheap either being that they're so rare. I've got two, one was from the UK and the other from America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
