slimjim Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well... here is the news... She is for sale. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=64401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 New "news" is ... she is NOT for Sale...! Not been able to sell her, so keeping her for a bit and getting her back up to scratch. New battery...... top of the range 5 year guarentee from EuroCarParts. Underside was looking a bit rough... so had my paint guys rub all the underside down to remove the surface rust that was getting to a point where it might become more than just surface rust... then treat it all with Waxoyl. Should keep her going for 5-10 more years! Next on the cards is a 'new' OEM exhust and some new tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you're keeping her she must be due a detail at some point soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 If you're keeping her she must be due a detail at some point soon HA... what she ACTUALLY needs... is 2K spending on paint. The paint job is just appauling. She is SORN at the moment, no point in having her taxed and MOT'd if she never leaves the garage. Might get her on the road when the weather gets nice. But I DO want the paintwork sorting when I can. Know any 'cheap' places that do a decent job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 "Cheap" and decent rarely work IMO I know, I know. got a quote from my local boys who I KNOW will do a spot on, perfect job. £2k. But I have LOADS of other stuff to spend hte cash on. Mainly the van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 "Cheap" and decent rarely work IMO Cheap and decent are two planets apart. Reputable and quality are on the same planet. There's nobody that I know of in the West Mids, but if you leave the car at TGM in fleet they'll provide a stunning job for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Mate, sent you a text a few days ago but no reply have you changed your number? Need some figures off you with regards to your sub box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey buddy... Phone was off with EE for a couple of weeks "being fixed" .... Didn't get anything. What do you need bud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ahhh good show. Couldn't find that pic in your thread. Hmmm I need 1cft of space and that's coming out at 0.65cft rounded up. What's the chances with the space limitations of increasing that to 1cft? Found a special 10x13" sub that would fit I'm presuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure, if you removed all the brackets, then you could go a little bigger. The brackets for the parcel shelf and the OEM sub are on both sides for L&R hand drive. I only took out the ones I needed to. but if you took them all out, then you might get the extra space you need. What's the sub you are looking at fitting? Found out with the van install the the size/shape of the speaker means NOTHING with the wrong size box but you should start with a decent speaker anyway....

slimjim Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Not heard of them... (But that doesn't mean anything!) Looks pretty deep for fitting.... Your best bet is to just rip out the OEM sub and see what space you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm contemplating fitting in oem layout, so sub facing forward. "10 in height it could be a squeez. We shall see.

Never heard of Boston Acoustics...... Man I thought you were a audiophile I meant I have never heard of the SPG555 you looooooooon Always weary of non round speakers... could just be that shite 6x9's have put me off for life. Would be a BIG sub for facing forwards. I think you might struggle to do that. Plus, apparently, you would get better sound with it pointing down/up. Or do you JUST want the kick in your back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hmmm didn't think of that. You may have a fair point there..... I may go back to the drawing board then, and maybe head for a 10" for simplicity save cutting about inside too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
