AGT Mod Day - October 2011 - Page 2

SIlversp20 · 04-10-2011, 12:39 PM

Maybe I will aim for just the sway bar and camber bolts then

the others can wait.
these Mod Days are a brilliant Idea Marc

Cheers

I would aim for the cold air intake, the sway bars might surprise you time wise.
Make sure you have new bushes etc before you fit them.

Cheers Phil
I will maybe do that. I know the CAI won't take that long as I have had it in before.
Guess I'll bring all the stuff then see what happens.

From experience at similar days there is more **** spoken that work done.
If you plan on achieving nothing on the day anything done will be a bonus.

Ice88 · 05-10-2011, 01:21 PM

Ill bring along my jack and jack stands in case peeps need to use them

Dont think ill be doing anything to the car on the day though. Unless I can verify the FP doesnt sit further forward in the engine bay

Samsara · 08-10-2011, 01:31 AM

I'll have a new Double DIN head-unit tomorrow, Does anyone know how to install one of these? is it easy as pie? I'll bring it along to the day if anyone can help

phildough · 08-10-2011, 06:57 AM

I have installed many head units and if I have time I can help.
If not I help install it another day

They're pretty much the same as a standard HU. Some might require a earth so you can view video while driving. Your meant to attach it to the handbreak :P

haha this one doesnt have a video screen on it, but it came with an earthing wire (at least im pretty sure thats what it is)

http://www.sony.com.au/product/wx-gt78ui thats it there

EDIT: and before anyone groans at Sony, I looked around and did a bit of research with audio car places, and they found no problems or negative feedback with this particular head unit

Clean_Cookie · 09-10-2011, 02:34 PM

that thing is HUGE! suppose you have to fill the hole with something and it may as well be more buttons! sony isnt that bad, in fact their high end gear is quite good. Its just generally not worth the prices they put on it.

Ben · 09-10-2011, 03:33 PM

Oh right, well its just the same to install as a standard HU (because it is really, just double din) Just need the facia plate. I got mine at Autobarn for $35

btw, i have sony too, nothing wrong with sony.

Samsara · 09-10-2011, 05:38 PM

oh cool, it came with a facia plate

marcs_sp20 · 10-10-2011, 09:39 AM

Take your GF out of the car, it fixes most whines.

DavoAust · 10-10-2011, 12:57 PM

I'll probably come along, I have some intake spacers, leads etc to put in. If someones REALLY keen, might do the fuel pump swapover & resistor bypass

Oh, this is for the 3k..

I'll bring some tools and a couple of jack stands. Maybe also a 6 pack or 2 to share

marcs_sp20 · 10-10-2011, 01:04 PM

Righto, well I have plenty of room, and a couple couches I'll set up under the verandah so peeps can just chill if they want, and plenty of drinks in the fridge already

Also PM'd the ones that expressed interest in coming

Chicaboo & Darryl, you coming?

Samsara · 10-10-2011, 04:39 PM
