In between the whole Boost Worx dyno day and running at AIR I completely forgot about my minor audio upgrade.

I had the following bits fitted:

Front - Rockford Fosgate 5 1/4" splits

Rear - Earthquake 6.5" 2 ways (excellent bass for such a small speaker)

Amp - 4ch Lightning Audio Bolt B2.300.4

Head Unit - Alpine CDA9815

Ang (sp?), Shayne and Steve from Compete Audio were absolutely excellent from start to finish. I can't recommend them more highly :P I'm sure Miss Nismo (Mel) would agree ;)

Their level of customer service, after sales support, value for money and level of workmanship has been first class so far.

The 7893R is the previous model (might be a model below?) either way the RRP on the 7893R was $899. The RRP on the 9815 is $999 so yeah pretty much the same thing.

Hahaha... direct from Lebanon styles :P I dunno' know man... stuff from Lebanon is likely to blow up suicide bomber styles!

Yeah Tim I kinda' mentioned Mel's name in the early dealing with Ang. She obviously carries a bit of clout 'round these parts 'cause they were only to happy to help once they knew I was on a forum with Mel ;)

Yeah I'm startin' to get into the newer lingo Tim :P

skidmark,

I've used Alpine gear a fair bit over the years, always been very happy with it. Your 7850R will probably still be going strong for yrs to come.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
