Most expensive mod for me was my coils haha, rims i got for ridiculously cheap
That said, if anyone finds a set of used, cheap semis (or something along the lines of federal 595 or a ad08) in 215/45, pls let me know :)
Exactly haha. Nah, I just really liked the Modulo look. Mugen kits seem a bit bulky IMO. Wanted a kit that was a kit but couldn't actually see it. ;)Quote:

hey wait - is that a can top in your wheel hub?
that's such a cool idea!
The coils will fit
Both same for fd1/2
@jprak Thanks man!
yeah its a rockstar can, it was a temporary fix until i fill in the Mitsubishi logo on the original center caps and put a enkei or honda sticker on them, but i really how it looks for nowQuote:

Question:
If 1 of my rear license plate bulbs keeps burning out. Is that a short?
And would it be due to the fact I'm using LED lights (less resistance)? 1 seems fine, but 2 bulbs have busted on the other now, they work for a while, then just blow.
If it's a short, how abouts do I go finding where it may be coming from? thanks!
What's the best bang for buck stereo mod? I just want more bass really and am a noob at ICE. (But meth I'm an expert)
just shit LEDs.Quote:

Planning on keeping the OEM Headunit?Quote:

Some amps have them built in, Making life alot easier but you can just pick up a branded one for about $100
If you plan on changing the headunit then wait and do it all at once. Saves money and time
Yeah, gonna keep the head unit. Is that a big job to fit an aftermarket one anyway?
Amp and sub sounds good. I don't want ear melting bass... Just some more oomph. Would a head unit change give me that much extra bass with the stock speakers??
I remember when I first joined here there was a stereo cheat where you held down/pushed certain and it made the stock system bump more. Anyone remember what it was??? Cause since then I've had the battery replaced and doesn't that reset all settings?
So many questions. Sozzy. Lol
Changing the headunit alone without a sub will not make the stock speakers pump out more bass.Quote:

Most amps have a Sub control now anyways. You can adjust the bass like the volume knob
If you buy an OEM fascia kit, it's a pretty straight forward job to switch the head unit around - a couple of hours, tops. eBay kits are luck of the draw. Some of them fit well, some of them don't.Quote:

For example, on my stock unit, I had bass turned up to +4, volume on 8 to 12, and when I played a bassy track like Markus Schulz - Love Rain Down, I could hear the speakers popping and bass sounding like balls.
I replaced it with a $200 head unit and the output was so much better at similar volumes. There were more bass customisations and it allowed me to really enjoy my music more.
In saying that though, if you turn it up really really loud (equivalent to volume 15-20 on stock), it's going to struggle, and that's when you'll need a sub.
If you're only out to achieve louder bass, but not cleaner bass, go for the sub.
Otherwise, upgraded head unit is best bang for buck as it improves overall sound quality.
Hey guys need help ASAP !!!!
took out stock strut to put in coil overs but the assembly is stuck in POSITIVE CAMBER AND I CANT PUT THE LAST BOLT IN.

People been saying pull out the disc and rotate till you hear a click to allign the CV splines but its not working!
Use a jack to hold the disk and lift it so you can bolt it
Think that's what I did I think
Yep CV shift has popped out, if you put weight on it ?? Then you may have put a burr on the end of the shaft and you will find it almost impossible to get back in ! CV will need to be removed and serviced, if you didn't put weight on the wheel then get somebody like a mobile mechanic to drop in an fiddle with it, they should be able to get it back in.
dudes!! thanks so much for the info and advice. love you ozhomos. xoxoxo
i think i will go for a head unit upgrade as it sounds best bang for buck.
what do you guys have? and pics??
thanks again!!!!
sorry if this should have been in the audio section.
changing the front speakers to aftermarket would be fairly cheap yeah?
@stevil, The CV shaft spline popped out, posted this picture on the mighty car mods forum and someone came over at 2am in the morning. Its fixed now !
Yeah it'll range from $80 - $200 depending on quality.Quote:

If you're working on a budget, start with the head unit first and if you're still not satisfied, update the speakers to something that'll push out more air/more bass.
I haven't opened up my door trim to check our speakers, but on my girlfriend's GD1 Jazz, the stock speakers were as fragile as a piece of paper and the quality reflected that, so there was an urgency to replace them.
thats what i was thinking. although the hybi comes with different seat and all the fruit im sure the speakers are they same doo doo paper thin speakers.
gonna hunt for a new head unit first for sure.
thanks again dude!!!

yeah best upgrade is the heatunit only as a first step, when you pump more power into speakers it tends to really boost clarity
darktmt good result !! what I described is actually what I did to my car, yep I popped the CV spline out and thought Id whack the wheel back on and massage it back into place !! not very smart I burred it badly and had to get it fixed ! lol best bet is to get another jack n support the hub/brakes so it wont pop out.
