Whats with this word CHEAP?

Car audio shops dont work for nothing. They have an hourly rate of $85 an hour to stick at least otherwise their business wont survive. Something to think about if you want a better job than what you currently have in your car.

i got my install through this guy in 3 cars now, he used to work for strathfield but has his own setup now. he came to my house in nedlands and did a top job for about 30% cheaper than anywhere else. name is daniel 0408792466. great work he does but prepared that hes not the most reliable person around as in he wont be there on time haha

Alberts or CarStereoCity are the 2 major car audio shops that come to mind... but they would be the most expensive

Although I have heard good things about the knowledge and quality of installs at Strathfield also.

damn strathfiled.. may them and their clan detortiate with immediate effect. diy with car audio seems like the best thing to me

Had a bad experience mate? :sick:

Although, I agree with the DIY thing, I have done my own a few times in 3 different cars and some friends...

they already have here in brissy- they are contracted to private fitters now. ( I have one.) only irony of it all is walking back into the place and taking it over since a lot of the people that worked there when I did (5 years ago) are still there :P

anyway..

DIY if you have a clue if not pay for it :)

Sorry,what do you mean when you said you got your install through this guy in 3 cars ?

Do you mean this guy has done or installed your sound system on all your 3 cars ?

I'm sorry,just a little confused.Is he like mobile service ? They come to you and do it in your garage ?

Because I actually want to install a new set of front and rear speakers that I bought,but Albert's & West Side said it's going to take at least 3 hours and

I don't have anyone to pick me up.I mean,I don't wanna wait 3 hours inside the shop and do nothing haha.If this Daniel guy can come to my house and

install my speakers then that would be awesome !

Thanks !

thread mine...

there is this thing called a bus and a taxi you know. mobile guys won't havet he correct tools to do it correctly :)

Haha very funny man.Of course I know but I live like 11kms away from West Side.From the shop to my house and my house to the shop will cost me $35.00

I'm the kind of person who likes to save lol.I'm cancelling my appointment with that mobile service guy anyways,the earliest they can do it is on Thursday next week.

I better wait 3 hours and get it done on Monday :).

Thanks !

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
