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.

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
