More boring updates,

despite having the uprated facelift speakers there was very little bass, so i decided to fit an underseat sub to improve the sound. Its only a ripspeed one, but they are the same internals as the Armour Automotive ones and from past experiance sound better than the more expensive alpine version.

The next task sounds very pathetic :lol: but it had been doing my head in, the wheel bolts had service rust on them and annoyed me everytime i looked at them, so i removed them all and cleaned them up.....this was the worst:

All done and clean

next tasks....

*Remove front reg plate holder and fit smaller reg plate
*Clean and paint all calipers, hubs and disk surrounds
*Underseal and treat all archs and behind rear bumper

It's unlikely to rust anyway, but better safe than sorry :wink:

I had one of thoise Ripspeed subs, they dont sound too bad. I sold it on Ebay for more then I paid for it lol

What did you paint the nuts with, they look very shiney?

Also it's amazing how much better the discs look after a good clean up.

I didnt paint them matey, just polished them up

Well, took the S2k on Anglesea circuit today and i must be honest i was very impressed, it needs some stick track tyres and uprated brake pads at least though. The standard suspension seemed very good too, so for the time being i may just get some bracing.

A few pics....

 

[Shifty]

Wheels look tiny in that last pic :lol:

The hard top is immense. That rear window is a beaut, well done for holding out for it!

We should organise a track day buddy, I do like the OEM 17's, although i am tempted in some other wheels!

That air box is massive!

 

[Suits]

That air box is massive!

Yeah, it is big.

A common thing to do is to remove the lid, it gives the induction sound a massive boost.

I prefer the lid on TBH, but I dont have mine anymore.
