Hi!

Need some advice....

At the moment I have speakers, sub & head unit running through my amp. I want to take my sub and amp out and so need to re-wire the speakers to run through the head unit.

Could anyone tell me what I should expect to pay for this? How long would it take?

I have spoken to Strathfield Car Radios and one store quoted $70 and another $120..

Appreciate your help!

Depends on things like:

- what speakers are amped (front, back or both)

- if the standard speaker wiring, plugs and harnesses are still there - or if they need to be rewired

etc

Either quotes look okay, they're quoting around 1-2 hours it would seem, which would be fair enough.

Thanks for the info! I've actually booked in to Strathfield for this weekend. They are charging $100, which I'm happy with.. In the end I had quotes ranging from $70 to $260..

Soon I will need to install the sub, amp, head unit and new speakers into another car.. (will not be doing this at Strathfield).. so any recommendations for sydeny based places would be helpful! I will also be searching the forum for ideas...

Thanks again

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
