nice thread. im planning on building my sub box soon. i want to leave my boot free for future items. so as i dont want rear seats im going to build the box to fit in there. will end up a bit heavy but having two 12's in the back sounds amazing. ill post pics of it once i finish. the problem i have atm is where to place the amps.

your right Nav2k. I guy has a 32 in clarion in a mitsubishi challenger up here in rockhampton. the box take up most of the cargo area. The clarion ute had two in the back of it, but form memory i think they have been taken out and replaced by 6 12 inch subs. The guy up here just fried the 32 inch as well, so i dont want his postage bill when he has to send it back :D

Hippy, I'll measure the box tonight but they will be only basic dimensions. It is quite easy to make a template with cardboard and a good way to start is to pull out the bottom carpet which is perfect to use as a stencil for the bottom of the box. As for holding the box in place, there is nothing holding it. I made it a very tight squeeze (I can't even get it out!) but with a thin metal cable connected to the metal on the side in case it moves.

Certainly not permanent! No way I'd damage someones car like that dude. We first mask up the entire boot area before we put the resin and Kevlar it. That way you can pop the entire enclosure out if you need to do something that requires the entire boot. :D

Carbon Kevlar-- expensive!! but good stuff :)

did you use kevlar over carbon to save the amount of layers, hence increase volume? just curious cause stuff like this interests me, wish i thought of it before i started my boot install ;)

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
