Connect the dots and go in between.

There are no car audio places it seems in the wynnum or manly areas.

Also Norman park, Camp hill, Carindale, Carina, Morningside, Cannon Hill, Greenslopes, Annerley, Fairfield, Mansfield, Upper Mt Gravatt, Eight Mile Plains.

And remember...if you come to Yatala, we can have lunch together every day! yay!!

im at mango hill on the northsaide ......

so id say yatala would be getting to my limits only cause it would be a pain to organise someone to follow me over to get a ride home if my car had to stay there.

current location I'lldrop you off at the train or city. trying to keep this idea into play.

yatala does have a lot of sites and most of those are within reach. there are some though that are $48k+ and way out of my reach.

I reckon if you can get a place somewhere inside a 5-10km ring of the city you're set as far as volume goes because the random mums/kids that want some front speakers or a basic head unit will choose based on convenience (and price obviously). If you're focussing on the enthusiast market then you have more leeway because as you've pointed out, people will usually drive further for quality work. So it depends on where you see your business focussing in the near future. The other thing to consider is, where are you going to be living?

Anyway for me personally, as a general rule I'd say I'd travel an hour for quality work, more if the quality is exceptional or I'm getting a lot done at once.

PS I need to get you up to put those horns in the 33!

kinda over the deck and two brigade. most of them tend to want things done for nix. that said its simple work and pays bills.

been looking at inner areas after our chat yesterday and can't seem to find a cheap one. about to look at wynnum/manly now.

DAN,

fair point. you have the right idea on it. I need to look at town planning as SSI (wow audiovisual) may have put their foot in the door on a location there.

going to capalaba there are 3 shops in 100m of each other. so that area is out.

keep it coming- I'm off to look of a few websites.

I Love big stereo's.

Dan needs 4x12"inch sub's in his white rocket.

nah quit doing things like that years ago. no money in it considering the time you put in :)

kinda wish this game ws like building engines but its not always the case.

also don't forget yellowpages.com.au...you'll find that they may be a couple/few car audio places not picked up by google maps :)

I would like to see a good shop go up on the northside, I mean, there are a cockload of decent workshops on the southside but really F*ck McAll up here on the north. Brendale\Virginia all of that are would be the best places to have a look around, even strathpine, Mt Gravatt etc...

I stopped using the guys up here a fair while ago because I was sick of being ripped off, Driftking once quoted me 2.5k to install my intercooler ... i mean, wtf?

I would be willing to travel 45min (living in Bracken Ridge) or so to get work done, I just run into the issue of getting someone to follow me down, as our cabs cost a god damned arm and a leg.

yep there are a few mobile guys tucked in there. access car audio is at wellington pt.

redlands car audio - thornside.

those are two I can think of.

ipswich - nup. been there already . JB killed that market. hell SCR moved out of the brisnabe st location about 7 months back for that reason. Auotbarn fell back a bit when JB opened. not about to commit suicide by going in there. wow is set to go in at booval as well at some stage.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
