jevansio Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Been a funny old day, got home tonight to find a big box waiting for me, yay, it's my Cusco ARBS with new Toyota droplinks & a shiney new Do-luck rear cross bar :D A massive thanks to Nic for getting these to me (even though he is laid up with a monster flu), some pics attached, I'll get more when they're fitted. On the downside, I notcied there was a rip on one of my speaker covers, now nobody has been in the back of the car & it's basically been sat on my drive since I got it back. This coupled with a hissing noise that can be heard when the volume is low triggered me into ripping the damn thing out . So I'll prolly put the headunit, amp, speakers & subs up for sale to recover some of the £1800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've spent having it installed. What a total waste of money, I'll never have a sound system in the car again, it's left a proper bad taste in my mouth. I'll be on the lookout for a stock rear view mirror again too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Mmm I like the Do-luck cross bar, wonder if it makes any noticable difference. How much was it out of interest? I once did a car with lots of decent stereo, never again, just not worth it imho. Plus, whos needs a decent stereo when you've got a lovely single to make the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Im in the same boat. I have a lovely install in mine and have already removed rear speakers and amp, ill just run a basic front speaker system with maybe a removable mid size sub to go long distance. I have an Alpine Flip out screen job which i could sell on, but i do like the Satnav it has built in. Im kinda torn if i should keep it or lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, whos needs a decent stereo when you've got a lovely single to make the noise It was roughly £250 I think, yeah I think you're right, I'm going to save the Supe for when I wanna go mental, no music just engine noise.

Chris-B Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Cheers bud, haven't seen you a work for a while. Im not working there anymore we got made redundant due to the work moving to days, got a good redundancy payment so its sort of a good thing really as it was just a part time job for uni etc. Hows the car running anyways? you got the mapping and everything sorted?

johnny g Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That's exactly what I'd do, it sounds like there's interference - give them the car back and save, right - fix it or rip it out and refund. Thanks! That's what I'd do - or get another firm to correct it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Will you be putting up the stereo stuff for sale mate? If so, can I grab a price on the speakers etc? I've got a headunit but all 4 speakers are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Lol, just realised that would look strange to you guys, I'm used to it now. The pup has a problem where she can't control her bladder, she is continuously (and I mean dribbling all the time) leaving wet patches. We started off washing sheets & throws, but it got out of hand the washing. We decided a nappy was the best idea, she's so young they can't operate yet, but in a month or so she'll be getting an operation. Something to do with her p*ss tubes coming out on the wrong side of her sphingter (sp?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that fails I'll def be up for splitting things up, I'll pencil you in for the speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
