hey tayles.. can you show me a perfectly flat surface on the dash? i was talking in terms of his bass level being screwed down and fixed to something instead of being held down by velcro.

hey i like where i put my bass level! hhahaha!

keeps it stealth instead of screwing it somewhere under the steering wheel.. but my point is that it would be better if he screwed it down somewhere.

i was actually thinking that if there was a place like what weve got in the corolla... like near the immobiliser light and the electric window switches on the right side of the steering wheel.. if there was an extra space for a switch.. could possibly place it there.

i said that coz if my bass level was as small and discreet as his, thats where id try fitting it.

So you finally got the boot cleaned up? I remember @ GOR cruise you had a loosely sitting sub and amp @ the back.

Got pics?

hmm i second that, it would be alot more balanced if u had some deacent speakers to match the subby. i guess its just what the actuall driver prefers and the original speakers commin from the newer cars are alot more better these days. nice work with the boot tho

Hey akuma,JJCRU23R, and everyone else.

Just wondering what brand your bass controller is?

you can buy them seperately, yeah?

Thanks in advance

Bass controllers are good but, alot of headunits are coming out with in-built bass contollers. i personallly think that if you can get a HU that has the function use it and save the wiring up time and having another thing taking up compartment space.

i just think that if anyone was to start upgrading spund gear, it should be:

First get a nice headunit. Then splits. If money is a problem just run the splits of the head unit. a nice amp to go with the splits would be the next step. Finally, a nice BIG sub and amp to power it.

A lot of poeple these days are saying to go all out on an awsome pair of front speakers and leave the back ones off. Honestly, does anyone really care about the passenger? subs in smaller cars ie. corolla.. we don't really need an awsome one, because the car is small we can get by with 300-400w rms.

If people are looking to do their entire system at once, you can go for a 4 channel and power the whole car or the way i went through above (you can have alot more power that way)

I'm not saying this is the way it HAS to be done. just that i think you'll probably get the most out of the speaker upgrades if you take it step by step.

      2017 Toyota Hilux 4x2 workmate - transmission issue

      Mate go to a transmission specialist, that's all they work on, day in, day out. You wouldn't go to a dentist for a new pair of shoes The Aisin trans is really durable, have the specialist perform a service, unless the vehicle is throwing a check engine light, don't expect any fault codes to be logged, so I doubt hooking up a laptop will reveal anything, afterall that's NOT Midas specialty, just my 2 bobs worth

      2017 Toyota Hilux 4x2 workmate - transmission issue

      Hi I purchased a used 2017 4x2 workmate, auto, which I've owned for over 12 months now. I have noticed an issue with the transmission. First thing in the morning is when it is most noticeable but does happen during the day also. When the ute is about to change from 3rd gear into 4th it revs high as it goes into the next gear. It always seems to be from 3rd to 4th. I was at Midas getting my brake pads changed and i had a good chat to the guys down there about it. They suggested it could be that the transmission fluid needs a flush out. They did show me the colour of the transmission oil and it was apparantly ok but not great (yellow/dirty colour as apposed to red as advised). They said this may help (at about $400) but cant guarantee it and for about $150 they would hook it up to their computer (I'm not sure all details) and take it for a drive and see what the ute tells them. I guess I'm after some opinions on this and do you think its worth spending the money to do these initial processes, which I'm leaning towards. Looking for advice... Cheers Gilly

      Corrolla Station wagon

      I don't know about Corolla, but I tried to get an Hyundai i30 wagon and was told that they wouldn't bring any in since the demand was so low. Bought an MG ZS SUV instead. Herb

      1999 Vienta V6 won't start

      Thanks Tony Its not my car. It belonged to a family friend who has sadly passed away. I don't think he would have put E10 in it. He was a fairly handy bloke mechanically. I have also been thinking if the battery being flat for some time might be an issue. Maybe there is an immobiliser that needs to be reset? I replaced the battery and have plenty of cranking power. Its a well looked after car and I would like to use it as a daily. I'll check the fuses and then the fuel pump. Appreciate your assistance.

      1999 Vienta V6 won't start

      Hi David, It is possible your fuel pump has packed up. If the fuel in the tank is over 2 years old, especially if it's E10, then it may have compromised the pump and sender unit. (hence no fuel gauge). If you leave E10 fuel in a tank for several years in a car not optimised for it, then that can and will wreak havoc in the fuel system. I hope that isn't the case and it's just something simple. Check for a blown fuse first, of course, then move to the pump itself. You can either elect to remove the pump from where ever it resides as I'm not sure on that particular model, and just apply 12V to it and see if it pumps. Alternatively, you could disconnect the fuel feed line to your fuel rail, place the tube into a bottle and see if it pumps fuel that way. You mentioned if it has a kill switch. You'd know this if it's your car, so I am suspecting it's not yours ? These cars won't have a kill switch unless it's been fitted with an aftermarket immobilizer, which can kill one or two things, Electrical and fuel or just electrical or just fuel. Depends how it's been wired up I guess. You may also no spark. Pull one plug out and ground it to something metallic and have someone crank the engine to see if you have spark. if so, then it's more than likely a fuel related problem. Good luck and let us know how you go. Cheers mate

      fuel door spring

      I've used Amayama many times for my Aurion and you'll be shocked to know how many parts are already NLA and that's for a 2012 -2017 car. I don't hold much hope for a 2005 Hiace. Maybe a wrecker can help with a replacement used fuel door or as I mentioned, Ebay is always a great source for 2nd hand stuff.

      1999 Vienta V6 won't start

      I have a 1999 V6 Vienta VXi wagon that has sat for a couple of years. It turns over but won't fire. The dash lights up except the fuel gauge needle doesn't move but I know the tank is full. Could it be a fuel pump issue? Is there a fuse for this? Could there be a hidden kill switch? That's what it seems like. Thanks in advance
