Hey, just thought i'd say a few words about a car audio install I got a few days ago.

I started out looking for a good quality system and ended up going to FHRX.

The main reasons is common discount retail shops such as generally don't have a clue or the right brands and other 'quality' franchise places tend to overcharge.

You'd be hard pressed to get a better intall of the equipment and labour, considering how much time was actually spent was rediculously cheap.

Have a look at the texture in the A colum and then try to work out how they did it ;)

They also like to take lots of happy snaps http://zen.cable.nu/cgi-bin/photos.pl?titl...ion=car/audio1/ of the install as they go so you get to see all the stuff you otherwise wouldn't.

Yeha anyway... getting back to the Sound Off... 2 days after I got back my hifi the SQ (Sound Quality) comp was on I came along, entered and managed to win 2nd in ameture street.

It was a good day dispite the rain and i'd really encourage anyone out there to come along.

Free food and donouts and chocolate!!! =D

What the judges are looking for in SQ is... well... quality. (not quantitiy)... The general idea is that a live recording should sound like a live peformance.

Even if you don't have a hifi its a really good oppertunity to come along and see and listen to what other people have done.

There's all kinds of budgets, from high end show cars to DIY < $1000 systems.

One of the better scores actually went to one that was under $1000 simply because it was well setup. (MB Quart fronts, 100W clarion sub).

More info on the event can be found at:

The next round should be coming along some time in May. I'll post some info in the events section when it gets closer.

Cleutin, they're the sanctioned dB drags champ, not CAASQ.

The sanctioned CAASQ (Car Audio Australia Sound Quality) competition series in NSW is run by us and while these sometimes coincide with the dB Drag events, they are two totally different competitions. The dates for the upcoming CAASQ (not SPL) sound offs are:

NSW Round 3: Sunday 27th May (coincides with SHOOKU's BBQ)

NSW Round 4: Sunday 24th June (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 5: Saturday 28th July

NSW Round 6: Sunday 26th August (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 7: Saturday 29th September

National Finals: Saturday 13th October

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
