    If I had to do it over again I'd run my charge pipes out over the frame rails, into the wheel wells and out to the front through the holes behind the horns, then just move the horns. I had to fab up some sharp bends (and a 2" to 2.5" transition) to get things to fit between the inside fenders. Going outside the fenders would allow you to run an 18" intercooler in the future too.

    my corner scales finally turned up. granted the bootlid and rear glass is out and theres a bit of sheet metal missing from the boot, theres a heap of crap inside the car to make up for it. but it gives me an idea on where its at. whats the original weight on these things? ive found a couple sites say around 1060kg?
    hey man, whats that little black thing that your front tire is sitting on?

    I know, I know.. I bought the car off my mate, he put the wheels on it. I personally would have got some sports type wheels, i.e something light weight, cause the car goes slower with them on, they are NOT light haha.

    Heres some more pics, my mate is a car trimmer so while it was his car it was like a project car..
    P.S see, gets up the drive way fine.

    so what colour is that? its an odd green, but i like it! and that looks like a bumpin' stereo. i would kill to have my front speakers in the door cars. the rest is very unique, but a bit intrusive. oh wait a second, that bmw logo cusion sitting on the back sill, that can be put inside the rear seats where we can see the sub, right? okay i like it even more. haha its a nice idea. but i have to keep my dual 10's and dual 12's in the trunk. but its soo heavy..

    I agree nice color, though the wheels gotta go. As for the rear deck it looks too flashy. Sorry dude, it probably sounds good, but its a lil' loud to look at. I'd change the front seats while I was at it, but other than that your car looks clean, really love the color.

    GADZOOTS! That look like a W7 in the trunk there... could it be? If so what do you have powering it and how do you like it?

    Sure is :P
    Powering it off a 1500W RMS monoblock, extra battery in the boot. I love it, its such a clean sounding sub. Goes down very, very low and loud, but stays very clear. Its the only main thing i did to the car when i bought it off my friend, he had already done all the trimming.

    I know some people will say a w7 is over the top, but I'm a bit of a bass fiend

    Oh and I also ripped out the beige carpet, it was impossible to keep clean. I replaced it with some dark blue / charcoal carpet, goes nicely with the front seats. Much easier to have a clean car now, although at the moment its a pigsty.

    That headliner looks great. There's a lot of work in that speaker install as well. I like it.
