Could always try JB hifi.. Ive had work done at both the marion and Modbury store and both were great. Got my basic custom parcel shelf done at the modbury one and very happy with it. They dont charge a crazy amount like some places

I'd have recommended Adelaide Pro Sound but George has closed shop now ;(

He did however, a wild setup for me. Clarion mp3/cd head, Rockford Fosgate Amp, sound deadening and a set of Rainbow Audio splits for the front. Car already had some rear carrozerria speakers that were ok... going to get a single 10" sub next... like noted, unless you're entering comps, you dont need any more than a 10" if you're just listening to music. I have an 8" sub inside my logitechs on my PC and they go hard.... and 10" woofers have a much better frequency range than an 8". dont know about 12's or 15's but one is more than enuff no matter your choice. (PS think of how much boot space u sacrifice for those 2 subs! egads...)

At a guess I'd recommend ministry of bass. I'd always go for a specialist car audio shop (reputable ones) than any places like Strathies or JB... tho I'm sure that some strath/jb franchises actually employ decent people, when u go to a single shop that has specialists, u know u cant go wrong. Wasn't cheap to get my stereo setup but it was worth >every cent<

(Yeah, u know ur car audio is good when u go to ur car to listen to music instead of the home stereo)

I'll be on dayshift that week so i could just "chop chop chop chop chop chop" down there, and with a sixer of teds maybe........

Was a great cartoon back in the day, prob one of the best! Somethings telling me the Aristo will be the most comfy seat in the drivein!! Not too mention my electronic heater that doesn't need a car to be running for it to get warm, I can see a line up to come sit in the Aristo.....

GT autosound....they are well known for doing a wicked job....IMO its your choice what you do with how many subs you want mate....so get 2 subs if you want 2 subs.....personally though i will stick with 1 sub.....1 sub is good enough to get things shaking

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
