Nah man. Im keen to meet up with yas at lanyon or something sometime if you guys are interested. DO you still meet there before going to the museum or is it woden now?

The final konnexion kit does look sweet. Not sure what im gonna go with, will wack on some wheels and some decent suspension and see what she looks like first, then either the final kit or the impul kit. Like the impul more but ditch the rear light cover thing. Money money money...........need to pay off the loan for this thing first, then save up for overseas holiday.>>THEN all my money going into her! Can't wait. i wanna aim for something that looks nice and clean, not over the top, just nice and clean, wanna get a exhaust that just has a nice note to it etc. Make a sleeper out of her yet!

Yea yours looks heaps good. really suite it. Hopefully ill have your permission to get one for myne since its pretty diff from yours ;-)

Send me a couple of pics of urs with the mags, i only got the ones we took ages ago with the stock rims.

  • 2 weeks later...

i just fitted an apexi pod. doesnt sound like a vacuum anymore.

it still sucks but more subtle, until high rpm/spool, which suits me fine.

what type of pod you got there? i had a cheapie on before, good flow, but sounded like an open pipe, so i assume filtration wasnt real good.

Finally. Got off my arse and did something usefull. Got my mate to lend me his Simota (or however u spell it) and wacked it on, sounded much quieter, much nicer but the only thing spongy was the throttle..... wasn't heaps noticeable but definatly different to the cheapo pod, felt less responsive. might have just been me though.....after abit of driving around i actually started to miss the sound of gail force winds coming from underneath my bonnet. I am going down the coast end of year, think i will just wack on my stadard box for it, its a little annoying going up a hill cos its continually sucking hardcore! wonder what it sounds like from outside, this car making this sucking noise going past hmm....

i bet you can hardly hear it from outside, until high rpm.

i missed the sucking initially too. it's just that you're used to it.

i even thought that it changed my exhaust note a bit, but it's probably just a case of overly focusing on small things.

i agree! put the cheapo back on and gave the simota back to my mate. Ahhhhh the cheapness.......

on another note, is there some more pics of ur line? love the front bar, its taht banana one aye advertised on this forum? How u get it so low? Is it realy bumpy?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
