Greg: boot rattles... here we go hehehhe :) this the hardest area of any vehicle to stoff rattles and soundeaden :wave: there are a couple of options.....

1. put rubber matting in between the boot welds....

2. soundeadener in a can on the boot lid...

3. soundeaden matting on the boot lid...

4. after doing either one of these it looks cool to cover it up with a custom made interior panel to cover it over. not very expensive at all, hopefully that should fix it... it really is a common problem for any car.

by the way... screwing your number plate down with 4 screws (one in each corner) with a rectangle sheet of rubber matting behind it will stop your number plate from rattling almost completely :P let me know how it goes mate ;)

How to get rid of high pitched alternator noice once and for all ?? (I got it down to a bearable level, but is stil there)

Have tried the following :

Run RCA's and Power down seperate sides of the car -

Earthed the Amps as well as I can - (pretty farking good)

Tuned the amp hi pass and low pass filters as best I can.

Cheers,

brendanf: What it sounds like you need are some noise suppressors how many channels is the amp?

if it is four channels you will need 2 suppressors

if it is two channels you will need 1 suppressor

you can pick these up for $20-$25 from any decent audio store, they plug straight into your rca leads at you amplifier end :wave: let me know how you go brendanf

And yes i can get them  :)  they are an absolutely kick ass set of splits  :P highly recommended

I was looking at the 2 way. Had a listen to them, also the MB quartz and dynaudio. Boston sounds more warm.MB too sharp and dynaudio sounds a bit dull. They're not suited to my style of music.

i agree, the Bostons do sound warm and great  :P have you gotten any prices so far on them? when did you want them?   ;)

Best retail price I've got is 800. In about 3 or 5 months. I can get them now but no point since I've got no amp. I figured do both at the same time.

Silver-Arrowz

when you want them let me know. the focals are good too, i sell both; but i certainly know which i prefer, i would always go for the bostons, they have a really distinctive sound i think :D let me know either way :)

akeenan:

i didnt know anyone still used compression horns, i have a set at work but they are hard as shit to sell because it is hard to find the right person (let alone right car!!!) to fit them in hehehe :) horns are the bomb when it comes to quality in a lot of respects though :)

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
