PM sent. Once all the sets I've ordered land I will obviously be chasing more business.

Would look even better than it already does with a set of borbets on

Send a PM to me...

Is that a hint there Robin??? Id LOVE a set of Borbets on the car, but alas dont think I can quite afford a set right now!

Just made a few calls then about getting these wheels redrilled, $150 for the set, woohoo! Pretty stoked about that

[Lorenz]

Wheels I was supposed to pick the other week fell through. The **** who was selling them sold them the night before I went to get them as he thought the other dude was me.... was fuming
So back on the hunt for new wheels it is

Little update now though. Bought the first fibreglass moulded sub box Louis made up for the back of his VR. Just fitted it all up and well, Im bloody damn impressed thats for sure! Sounds freakn wiked too, but will be even better once I get me new sub in a week or so
Pics soon!

[Lorenz]

Hahaha, thanks for the ideas! Was thinking something like chequered fabric or tartan maybe

Yeah it sure does hey, he does some bloody good work

I am so happy that you are satisfied with it Lorenz.

If you get a $30 dynamat pack and place it along the subwoofer mount, it would seal off even more air, your sub will thump even harder. Jaycar also do 12" subwoofer gasket it should work very similarly.

[Lorenz]

Next pay Im going to invest in a load of Dynamat for some other parts of the car anyway so yeah ill do the mount at the same time! Next up is a false floor, try and get stuck into it this weekend

[Soundofav6]

Great idea !!! make sure you post up some progress pics

Well I got bored this morning so decided to get started on the flase floor. I had a load of MDF left over from making a new parcel shelf for my R31.

I used the boot carpet as a guide/template for the shape of the boot floor. I decided I needed somewhere to stick the amps to initially, instead of bolting them straight to the car floor. It also provides me with a base for the sides to make up the raised floor after.

First I made a rough base shape from the carpet. I had made it all one piece, but it wouldnt fit and I couldnt get it into the boot in the first place, so chopped it in half with my trusty $20 jigsaw!



As you can see, it still too big and overlapped and there is a slight bump on the right hand side of the boot floor, so needed to chop a few cm off the middle join and remove a section of wood from where the lump was to allow it to sit nice and flat. I also needed to cut out a section of the floor to allow removal of the spare wheel and tools if need be.



This is a far as I got. Will hopefully get it all done this weekend, just need more money and wood! Not bad though for less than an hours work

[Soundofav6]

Not bad for an hours work! What plans have you got for the wheel well ? Are you going to leave it exposed ?

[cameo]

You should cover it with that carpet that has all the roads and the signs, buildings etc on it. The ones that the kids play on hahah.

There will be a spare wheel and tools in there, and as thats only the bottom layer you wont see it all when I have the raised/top layer of the floor on. I will have a trap door cut out, hinged and carpeted in the end, so I can have full access to the spare etc


Cameo, thats an awsome idea, wonder if I can buy it by the metre? Will have to check out Spotlight soon, see if they do it hehe

[Lorenz]

Got stuck into the rest of the boot false floor on Saturday. Got most of it done so pretty happy now!

Heres some progress pics throughout the day incase anyone wants some ideas etc etc

Made the top section first out of some 9mm MDF. Spent a while measuring up the exact sizes of eveything and getting it to fit with the back seats upright. Took a while but worth it!


Then set about making the raised sections on the bottom base. I used 70mm heigh wood (cant remember what it was exactly, but nothing too heavy or expensive!)



Checking now and again it all fitted ok in the boot, cutting and modifying parts of the carpet so it sat nice and snug!
