Good link ^

 

What about for inside a garage for dust prevention for example?

 

To be fair, even the guide for the car cover I have suggests it should be removed on a weekly basis anyway. I dont think they're ever supposed to be a permanent use 365 a year solution.

Was just going to be used over the winter period save the frost and rain getting to it , I was thinking just give the car loads of wax but parents insist on getting cover for it

Being exposed to frost and rain isn't going to kill the car don't worry, there's only so much you can do unless you have an indoor temperature controlled garage, so don't go overboard with it.

 

My only advice if you are driving in the winter is. Don't use a cover. Use waxes etc, but make sure you clean the car, especially if roads have been salty etc.

To be honest best thing iv found is just go with a bolt on system if you need to replace something and it's so much less aggro in the long run mate

 

I'm based in hadleigh not far from Morrisons (you'll have to not leave me though I'm only a N/A) haha

Yeah il proberbly leave the cover I don't want scratches and the agg of taking it off when I want to drive it (not that often) but worth just building up layers of wax

More power your looking at BPU so that should be double decat and boost controller I believe, similar set up im doing on my GT4 at the moment. TBH I have had mixed experiences with Pipecraft, nice guy but have found more experienced welders who can do a equal or better job for a better price

 

Got a mate or 2 who wanted to come with and see a few cars, meeting at pitsea flyover for 7 mate

Best thing you can do it a mix of YouTube and listen in person, I have a HKS HI POWER SILENT on mine I got from here cheap, but it is very quiet, on the other end iv heard supras that shake rooms lol blitz nur spec is popular and is the back part of my celica system (which it looks like I'll be in as the supra battery is beyond dead)

So just wonder if use guys could advise me , looking to upgrade my speakers was wondering if anyone could really recommend a decent setup , also wondering where I can get some more of these plastic clips to cover the screws in the panels ? I did search eBay but no luck

 

Cheers Alfie

Can't help with the clips but with Audio you've got a few options

 

Srd and tb developments do conversions to fit bigger front speakers (a must in my opinion)

 

Rears can fit a 16.5 speaker I believe if you drill the extra mounting hole in the metal

 

Then you've got head units galore best thing is to try some out and look for features

 

If you want to go further you can add a sub and amp for the speakers but this again limits space and is more expensive.

 

A budget would help suggest specific things mate
