I was going to get Mark (Cruisn) to make me a box originally. I didn't and have regretted it ever since. Glad this fits nicely. Very happy

Ported sucks for clean, crisp and punchy bass. Offer is still there, I just havent got to the sub enclosure stage yet for mine.

If it's ported correctly it'll sound good, I've installed a few of those Kicker ones and they sounded rubbish IMO. I have a ported JL atm and it sounds great with my music, punchy as. Still sounds good on the lower range frequencies too.

Thanks Mark.

I'm stoked with this little thing. Thrown tonnes of genres at it and haven't been disappointed.

What interior lights did you use in your car Cam? (including the rear ones) 
They look a really nice white

[Cam.]

48SMD led panel in the main interior light.
24SMD led panel in the boot
and two 6smd led bulbs in each map light.

All crisp white. Not the bluey white that you sometimes get
Note: They are almost blinding if you look at them directly.

Do you have them in the door puddle lamps? Theyre the best ones as they throw craploads of light when getting out of the car making them more usable than the useless stock globes

They're damn awesome Cam. Very bright indeed. Can I have the links to them (if you bought them on eBay that is), please? It's about time I replace my interior lights. I have a feeling the main one in the middle of the car is on its way out.

I bought them about 5 months ago and since then my ebay account was shut down.

Just search for the 48SMD and stay away from china sellers/ones described as cool white.

[Liberty]

They were from a local seller? No worries, thanks for the heads up.

[Adam]

I can link you to the ones I got when I'm on a computer

[Liberty]

Are they as bright?
 

Cam, do you find it annoyingly bright or just right? I mean, I don't want a sun in my car.

Since the conversion, My clutch has never felt right.

It would stick slightly in the mornings at the top of the pedal...It would feel good after a few changes, Gear changes felt a bit notchy and the pedal was rather low.

The sticky clutch finally drove me crazy enough to attempt bleeding it, I did just that on Sunday morning with Lachy and the clutch pedal went to the floor and didn't return. After some mucking around, I couldn't get the master cylinder to pump any fluid...Lame.
I pulled it apart to find the primary seal was shagged and the piston was full of crud. I got the master and slave cylinder off low km half cuts, You never know the history of used parts so it's really just the luck of the draw. Shit happens!

I rang my local clutch/brake supplier and enquired about service kits for my master/slave, No deal. I ended up getting both as complete units and did the install this afternoon.

I bled it with a hand vacuum bleeder and followed up the bleed with a pedal bleed. THE DIFFERENCE IS AMAZING! Shifting is better, Pedal feels better, Very firm




Note: I could have replaced just the master cylinder and been done with it. This is a bad idea as the slave cylinder is now the weak point in the system and could fail at any time in the near future. It's always good practice to replace them with the same brand of product and both at the same time. If my car didn't have a braided line already and it was fitted with the old OEM line, I would advise replacing this at the same time when replacing the master/slave.

Awesome work mate, love the little tips.

I forgot to mention that I've got another tune on the car.
The latest tune I'm running is for 100 octane juice from United.

Results have been very consistent. Good fuel. Much smoother and pulls hard

E85 is still on the cards. I've got to work out my injector situation before that happens.

[Adam]

Is flex fuel tune possible with the factory ecu?

[Cam.]

Sorry, I corrected it to E85.

It's all one big experiment at the moment.
