The black one
« on: August 29, 2009, 22:11:07 PM »
Right as you know i'm back, and bloody glad to be!  :P

i now have an L reg black calibra, which i'm liking very much, i bought it knowing it needed some tlc on the mechanical side as it was running rough, so since tuesday i have changed the oil & filter, air filter, pollen filter, fuel filter, plugs, leads, coilpack, o2 sensor, rocker cover gasket and dismantled and cleaned various bits such as the throttle body,

anyhow i only have these pics at the min, as you can see there is some halfords sh*t on, which is been removed, i'll upload some better pics when its all shiney.








anyhow my main task today was to sort the stereo out, i have no idea what someone was trying to achieve but the wiring was appalling so i ripped it all out and started again...




i was going for the idea of a full install, so i already had a sub and some 6x9s in the shed so i got to work fitting these,




and the first blood of the day.. i cried for 30mins



after an hour or so of tweaking i decided i wanted more sound from than the front than what was currently been produced, so i went out and bought these.



as you can imagine these are rather large so a little diy was needed,

door cards off



and time for trimming




all done and sounding VERY good



so i have been pretty busy this week  8)

more to follow..........
