I think you should drop the rav 4 on chrome 20's. Maybe a bit of air bag action and a nice big sterio.
Now that would be pimpn 
|
That thought had certainly crossed my mind but the RAV is for my Wife and our first Bambino due in July, so for the short and probably long term it shall remain STOCK  which will be some what of a novelty

While you guys are talking about subs i have some "BAZOOKA" bass canons in the NA they are a vented and ported base reflex tube and for the size, weight and conveinience they are awsome.
The beauty of them is they sit perfectly behind the seat and locating them there corner loads them. They have an increadible mount of bass for the size and will have the rear vision mirrors bouncing of there mounts in no time

"Are you talking to me" !! LOL
I will sell anything for the "right price"
Sorry its friday arvo and i dont know what i am doing !!
No not selling and sorry no i cant even remember where i got them from i know they were hard to get hold of, it was some stereo joint on Parra Road about seven years ago.
Its worth the effort maybe do a google search or try some local car stereo joints see what they know. You will also need a pretty good / big amp to drive them and maybe a cross over set up.

dud make your own box, it ain't hard, some place wanted me to pay $300 to get a custom fibreglass box, I went to magnet mart, $15 for a large plank of MDF, leftover material, vynal or felt from another project once 
and done, I just made mine a trianglular prism. ohh don't mind that black square around the sub, I fucked up and didn't quite make it deep enough off by 6mm, so I put that there so I could fit the sub in it.

I got 2.8 cuft box that takes up my whole boot except for about 15cm each side. Box is sealed internally and has a 10 inch sub in each end pointing into the cavities that run over the wheel arch. Currently only have one sub hooked up cause i've only got a 2 channel amp.

i was thinken of 2x 8" subs behind each seat, but the problem is where to put th TTops, im not sure if i can get enough volume as well as have room for them
The other option is the Frunk with a ported hole, i have an idea about a boot mounted setup but i dont really want any more weight on the rear end

What happened to the motec?
I was doing some donut's tonite Holy shit the back whip's round quick! So easy to control as well.
I see my rear rubber will have a very limited life span 
New clutch is coming next week which is a big bonus. All i have to do now is redo the cooler pipes and move the water pump and im all done
I guess all i need is some time to do it

yeah motec turned out to be 3200 which is out of my budget i think the 8860 can pretty much do what the motec can so yeah.
Yeah the back does whip arroud pretty quickly i sometimes end up with the car going backwards while the engine is sitting on the limited in second.
The tyres dont seem to last to long once you start doing stuff like that but hey whats the point of spending all that $$$ if you cant enjoy it right

Hey gearbox, you could probably still put the subs behind the seat, I used to put my sunroof behind the seat, but it won't fit anymore, so now I made a pocket behind the matting in the boot and she slides in the pocket, just infront of the ecu.

What do you think of 2x8" subs in sealed boxes for a metal head? people tell me i should use a single 12" but i woulda thought 2x 8's would have a good punch and be very responsive for mad kikkerz n shit bro.

did you replace both o-rings?
when mine was doing it i ended up cutting the pipe that goes to the overfill tank, and shoved a bolt in the pipe. used a trusty cable tie as a hose clamp. no more coolant weaping. it's still like that 4 years later.

8" subs is not going to play very low for rnb rap type music
though there are some very good 8" like the DD1008 reviewed in autosalon mag, but it was in a massive box ported fed heaps of power
man i still havent done much on my stereo, just dont have the backyard to work. so far i;ve just bought a cheap jigsaw and some mdf and cut some spacer for the 6" speakers
i roughly measured the front trunk well and it seems to hold about 25 litres probably just enough for a 12" sealed enclosure. im looking at IDQ subs because they work well in small enclosure
geez my car will be the most overweight aw11 on earth. i mean its already heavy coz its a s/c model, then i got targa, and a/c, now music(roughly 30kg) and i weigh 110kg. beat that haha

ok im stumped with this bleed valve on the thermostat housing.
i have tried to put a second oring on the plug and it wont screw down.. infact it sits too far up such that the thread wont even enguage.
am i just missing the point completly?
im trying with 5mm orings.. but looking at the epc a little better it should be a 4mm and a 6mm ?
where should they be located ?

keep the radiator cap on and the suction will keep the coolant there.

Fat,
I actually posted a response to this earlier, it was about 7 years ago, i cant remember the name of the stereo joint but it was on Parra road just west of Rick Damelian (spelling)
Thats about all i can tell yuo other than try a search for "Bazooka"
By the way i raced at Oran Park on Sunday, its a pretty crazy track !! its the first time i had been there. Managed to to a 1:28 around the GP circuit. I pulled 7000 RPM in 4th down the staright so i think thats about 190 klicks . We did 5 x 5 lap sprints so by the end of the day was starting to get a feel for the track and the car. The car went really well only drama was high intake temps it went to 70 degrees after the second lap, by the end of the last lap the ECU was cutting the revs back so i assume it was gettingto 80 degrees , will have to sus out the data logger, any way i think the next mod is a better intercooleror at least get some water spray back on the car. Once i learn to brake deeper i have a feeling that the brakes may be the next issue, its probably ok on a 4 lap sprint but by the end of 4 fast laps they were getting a bit soft, maybe just some harder pads may fix this.
There was plenty of excitement as well, numerous doods lost it in front of me, first was a WRX in turn 3, then a V6 4 motion Bora on tun 2 doing about 150 klicks, then on turn 3 2 HSV Dunnydores punted each other off and one went into the wall and bounced off !!
I cant wait to go back out there, i am sure we can go quicker

haha man if I was you just for shits and giggles I would grab the part number of bleed plug in the top of the radiator, since you have the catalogue there, and tomorrow give them a ring to find the cost of that. or just check your catologue if they have the same part number.
It would be so funny if it costed less, or more.

A water to air mayb the solution for you otherwise you could allways strap a davis craig fan on the i/c or you could try an arc direct replacement core off an s13 silvia i hear they cool quite well.

Well, As you can see from the pics my mr2 is no more.....
it all ended this morning on the way to work when she went up in flames. closed off all three lanes on the m4 city bound!
Well, i dont think i will be coming on sunday boys
And im pretty sure that will be my last mr2.
Having said that, i have a few parts that i wont be needing anymore:
gze rocker covers - powder coated light blue (never used)
Strut brace - ends same blue as rocker covers (never used)
For a while it reigned supreme, now it will live on only in my memory as the fastest car i have ever owned.......It was good if only for the short time i had it.

also if u dont mind, what is the size of that box?
did u have trouble with the lumpy bit in the centre under the carpet?
fatmr2: so sorry to hear bout the car, why dont you want another mr2? too many memories?
is it possible for those leaving from syd on the 22nd to call into thornleigh maccas on the way? (would be a big help for me and whoever else coming from that direction)
