We all know what it looks like bare :)

what i have done is put layers of aluminum foil down and taped it up with masking tape, you will notice that it is quite thick in the grooves, this is so when you roll it the roller dosent go through the foil

Test fitment of the first glass mat layer, this will give you the basic shape.

Test fitment with the amp and sub

i've always thought of putting a small encloser around the towers there.

to fit a shallow 12 and amp hidding in the wall, just to keep the space. or even just a dual 12inch behind the seats for easy removle, as its not a daily driver not really fussed

im liking the look of your setup so far, but i got one of those kenwood dvd's and the system box of what even is in that pocket you filled, but can wait to see the final outcome :D looks good

Looks the goods mates. Only thing is on the left hand side behind the panel in the boot is the computer for the Atessa system and on the right hand side is the oil bottle for the Atessa system. In saying that it would probably be a good idea making it easy to remove so you can access to the Atessa computer and oil bottle.

Yeah, i thought of that, they will be completely removable. when i had the bluey, the system was awesome, but it was totaly impractical, no boot space. hehe as you can see

Quick update guys.

ok a framework has to be made so as to hold everything in place.

when you have finished the framework the fibreglassing can begin.

what i didnt take a photo of is me streching the "T-Shirt" matrial over the framework and hot gluing/ stapling to get the shape i want.

then you just get resin and paint over the matrial, giving you a good hard but brittle shape to start putting your mat on.

the box itself is going to be a sealed box so now im fining all the holes and pluging them up.

next step is i will be glassing over the amp to make it so it is sunk into the box. ill take a few photos of that process..

ok framework for sub and amp mount.

OK, so I don't want to start a new thread, but what are thew biggest sized speakers you can fit into the standard spots in the doors, without modifying the door skins?

I don't want to go the the effort of the boot install, but I'm putting in my HU and Jaycar Response 4x50WRMS amp (was thinking of under the drivers seat for mounting), and my factory speakers have gone to heaven due to my love of the new Girl Talk album......talk about bass!

I remember threads on the speakers, but I can't find them....at all!

Cheers, Greg.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • 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
