welcome to the club

This might be moving slightly off-topic, but do all speakers have cross-overs? Are they only needed if you have an external amplifier in your ICE system?

I was going to "swing by" soon, but I think I'll leave it now... :D

Hi Greg, Just read your first post again: what did you use the double-sided tape for? Presumably, you screwed the speakers into the new brackets....?

Hello!

Hi Greg, are you still pleased with the speakers you bought? I'll be buying some myself very soon, and was thinking about the kappas too.

Old thread ressurected from the dead!

Is the soft ice cream even more loaded with sugar? I might be wrong though...

Wow! You'd have to be *serious* about ice cream to spend that!

Thanks guys! Dereham Supra: I didn't know that about the refridgerant being a liquid. You know your stuff!! Right then. I'll definitely get it fixed for leaks, then refilled.

How do you mean? Oh, and welcome to the club

Gaz's car certainly sounded and looked good from 200 metres behind him! The black monster picked up speed really quickly! I don't think my balls are up to the job of keeping up with a TT. Really, I hardly ever boot it. In my case, the car is more capable than the driver!

Cheers Graham! I may swing by sometime to see if/when you can refill mine. The small outfit I used in Fleet said they added a UV dye to test for leaks, so I'm hoping that the dye can still be seen somewhere around the engine bay. I've been meaning to drop by for a few days anyway, just to catch up.

Wow, I stand corrected. It seems to last on your cars longer than I thought.

That's true, but I think the aircon gas has a tendency to leak out over time, no matter how good the system is sealed. Possibly due to it being a gas and not a liquid? For example, if you didn't bother to change the radiator coolant, if your hoses and rad were in tip-top condition the coolant should stay in there for many years (NOT recommended I know!).

I had my aircon re-gassed in August last year, and it worked fine afterwards during the rest of the summer. I tried to use it the other day, but it wouldn't come on. It almost certainly just needs re-gassing again. I didn't switch it on at all during the winter, which I'm led to believe doesn't help the gas's longevity. How long is a reasonable time for the gas to last? Mine has lasted only 7 months: is this normal? If there is a leak somewhere, can the aircon servicing companies usually trace the leak with thir UV lamp after 6 months, or will all the tracer colouring have vanished by now?

You were on the roundabout, I was in the MSB coming onto it. Couldn't keep up with you because 1) my car hadn't been running for long so I didn't want to boot it and 2) ..er, I've got an NA. Nice supe you have there!

GirlRacer, what rubber do you use on your supra? I need to get myself 4 new tyres soon...

I'm not admitting to anything without my lawyer being present! 4 pages for a (probably) spoof thread! Not bad!

How true.

Nic, sounds like he wants the odo bit (mileage counter) rather than the speedo bit.

Sheefa, I'm so sorry to hear this.
