Oh and before anyone asks they are ROH Mantis wheels. (if you missed it in my sig)

not gonna happen while I live in Queenstown. If I lived in a city would be ok but the roads here are full of potholes and bumps, would be torture!

Got new rims put on today. Used to have TSW Mondellos (which I loved) but they just weren't tough enough for the poor excuse for roads we have down this way. All 4 needed machining, I was thinking of fixing them until I saw these advertised for 699NZD for the set. Couldn't say no really. Think I like the TSWs better but still happy as. Can't beat new shinyness!

does harman motors do custom flash tunes?

hey thanks for the info.... just another question then, if I do unplug the amp then all the speakers will be getting fed the full range meaning they will be trying to play the lower frequencies they werent designed for?

thanks guys... all installed now... ran it from the speakers as they were easier to access then the factory amp loom. Oh and I didnt realise most wouldnt have sub and amp as all XR8s and XR6 Turbos in NZ have premium sound as standard

So if someone would go to the effort of hooking up the extra speaker there must be a benefit? and there must be a cable(s) from the ICC to the factory amp that carrys the sound information, what I was asking is why people dont hook that cable straight into the input on aftermarket amp instead of hooking into rear speakers

I have replaced my factory sub with a pioneer 8" freeair in the factory location and up until today was running it from the factory amp. Sounded ok but not much bass I'm assuming because the factory amp lacks the power to run the stiffer pioneer sub. So Ive started installing a sony 222 amp that has high level input and wondering do I need to splice into both rear speakers for the input or can I just take the input off one of the rears? It is a 2 channel amp that will be bridged to just run the sub. Pic is attached to show what I'm asking. also how come nobody uses the input that goes into the factory amp when installing aftermarket amps? cheers

Standard P plate is 700 nzd, a message plate like that is 800nzd so about 700aud... in summary Expensive Daewoo ppl are stupid hehe

wouldnt tht be 4ktoff though? and wat does f*ckitoff mean and its reference to holdens??? :confused

oh in NZ you can order that bit when you get the plate (called a message plate) so its stamped on the plate as per the bigger letters. oh and shouldve mentioned I'm an air traffic controller hence the relavence to my job.

Well I knew there was a reason for valentines day. Got given a personalised plate from my sig other. So my car is no longer CJA836..... Heres a pic: Havent got it yet hence not a pic of it on the car, but soon... I think it works well given my profession and the car now goes like a jet. Guys at work are gunna give me hell now though.

think it prob would use $300 each way... plus ferry too think its about 1500k from auckz too queenstown... ouch heh

that's about 35,000 kiwi... and that's about what youd get here for that money. Seems like a well specced nice car.... NEED PICS!!

that's the exact car I was looking for... lux pack 6spd manual... but alas there doesnt seem to be any in NZ so I had to go for the auto. Not that I regret it its a great box. If u dont mind me asking what is it worth? just curious to compare across the ditch pricing.

moi? if so then yea... some more here: Coronet Peak and some others I didnt upload... but they not as good...

At Coronet Peak near my house. Queenstown, New Zealand

did you guys cruise in the end?

its great fun.... such a buzz when it goes really well (and by well I dont mean no crashes... I mean a safe and expeditious flow of air traffic AND no crashes)

a girlfriend warranty... I like that idea, although you know it would be just like a car.... the loan girl you got while yours was being serviced would be a lower model than yours that everyone has thrashed... and then the big problems would only surface once outside the warranty period anyway.

I already showed her.... and then she laughed at me for my signiture saying winter white... she says its just white...
