Amp rack fitted :)

**mulletboy2** · Monday 17th July 2006, 22:45

Finally finished wiring up the amp rack (for now.. there's more to do later), and got it mounted in the car tonight. There's lots more to do ready for the meet this weekend, but she's finally coming together

Cheers

Mark

I can hear it from here! lol
Very tasty indeed mate

**t5tart** · Monday 17th July 2006, 22:50

good god

you going for a 310 upgrade just to get her moving mate
bet there is a fair weight in that

**mulletboy2** · Monday 17th July 2006, 22:56

Cheers guys

t5tart - thanks for the words of advice on the fuel pump the other day ... got it fitted sunday night without too much bother.

Last time I weighed it, it was 6 1/2 stone, and there's probably another stone in wiring there... so not too bad

Time for uprated shocks methinks. She's already got the 310 upgrade, thankfully

**t5tart** · Monday 17th July 2006, 22:59

haha
not too bad
just sit me in the front for ballast lol

**mulletboy2** · Monday 17th July 2006, 23:01

LOL! I'm not sure that would help much

**t5tart** · Monday 17th July 2006, 23:11

about bloody time tooo!!!

**mulletboy2** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 00:37

Yeah yeah :p

**Wobbly Dave** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 00:43

Seriously found out that Volly clearcoat is a damn sight harder than you might expect. Moving up a notch with Menzerna Intesive Polish and some Megs #83. That'll shift the swirls (I hope)

Gotta have it looking as good as it sounds.

BTW watched 5th Gear tonight when they reviewed some stock ICE (including the new C70 dynaudio setup) and was thinking of you - LOL

**mulletboy2** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 00:51

Damn, I missed it.. will try to download it from somewhere

And yeah, must get the paint work sorted out so she's ready for the next big meet/comp

Did you ever post pics of what you were up to on Sunday?

**Wobbly Dave** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 00:55

I am waiting for the Viking as we speak. We did some photos - I hope you can see the difference from your regular Sunday PM efforts. Thing I really struggled with was the toughness of the top coat. Volly clearcoat is not to be underestimated. I know now why vollys dont rust!!

**Waxworks** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 07:38

How many amps!!!!!!
Looking good mark, a very impressive professional install. Can't wait to see/hear it finished, keep up the good work!

**arbee** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 22:43

excellent work! i love the stock grills on the rear shelf

**mulletboy2** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 22:52

Cheers guys

arbee - not sure if I told you before, but the OE speaker pods house 12cm exhaust fans. There'll be 2 more fans going in the amp rack cover when I make it, to suck air in... should keep the amps nice and cool

I've got a friend working on some software control/web browser interface for a PC/temperature sensor setup I'll be running.. the gist of which is that I'll be able to log in to a wireless network inside the car, monitor amp rack temperatures and system voltage, and be able to turn on/off fans/amps/etc, or even start the engine (and optionally arm the alarm) using my laptop.
