Usually it's as simple as opening them up and doing a bit of tuning and spreading some little coils apart a little ;)

They almost always detune them a little, and then put a fair bit of filtering on them so they don't interfere with other radios.

Ahhh, the old days of modifiying CB radios :);)

The UHF's are a little harder, and sometimes not much can be gotten out of them, but if you go from 500mW to 700mW it's a fair increase.

I want one for my bike so my wife and I can chat and also for trackdays and cruzes. How long does the $99 one last before a fully charged battery goes flat? Could I expect to get 6 hours of out of one?

Just went to Dickies and bought 2 x 42XR model, on special from $149 to $129, have voice operated VOX, so it will work on the track and the bike without push to talk. The hands free is a bit big but hopefully I can modify it or my helmet. Apparently 20Hrs non stop operation. Very neat little Box.

Pretty easy

They aren't much bigger tahn your hand

I can drive and talk at the same time.

If I'm not talking I usually just clip it onto the steering wheel and listen....

Or i just throw it on the seat at other times... or the passenger talks.. one of the two

The Vox is a bit crappy on the $129 model and I dont think I will use it, the only model that has a good one was $450. The hands free is very good quality and does have another puch to talk button. Drop into a dickies and have a look.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
