  1. lol thought no1 was checking this thread out so i stopped posting
  2. i learnt by tearing my car (and my previous car) apart 2 see where the wires led to...(then putting it all back together of course) and by asking around up in here. therez heaps of helpful people in here! its easy 2 learn if you really wanted 2. ps - HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THE PIC I POSTED (look up)... i accidentally left my interior lights ON last night after taking that pic... battery went flat n i required a jump start. :P
  3. what i dont get is how they got to unlock the car from that window
  4. if i was swapping had anything to do with my car, id prefer 2 do it DIY.. save money that way :P but yea i think it was $90 just for labour?
  5. i had the same problem with the wiring in the doors until i found an easier way of getting the wires through the rubber gasket thingo. its kinda hard 2 explain without havign to literally demonstrate it. im not willing to pull apart my car at this moment especially coz its raining atm... but ive taken a pic of the general area and drew up what you should do. the pic ive taken is from the passenger door. the wires that run through to this door (on my car) are: electric windows stock speaker wires so what you gotta do is - 1. identify all wiring that runs from the door to inside the car 2. locate the end of the wires that is found inside the car 3. disconnect the wires from this end. 4. do the same with the other end of the wires - disconnect wires from inside the car because all the wires are disconnected, it is much easier to pull the gasket out. you will probebly need a flat screwdriver to persuade the gasket to detach.. much the same way you would use a spoon to take the lid off a can of milo. the gasket is rubber.. its strong and it can bend, so you wont damage it at all. once thats done, pull the gasket towards you so that the gasket and wiring hangs loose. when its loose, you can easily feed the new wires through! to run new wires through the gasket: 1: poke a LONG flat ended screwdriver through the gasket (make sure you have the correct length of wiring and feed it through the hole that leads to the gasket) 2. sticky tape the new wire to the end of the screw driver 3. pull the screwdriver back out of the gasket- the new wires should have logically been fed through with the screwdriver. 4. pull the rest of the wire through the gasket 5. reconnect all wiring inside the car 6. push gasket back into place on the car side 7. reconnect wires in the door 8. pull the wires in... this will cause the gasket to be put back into place wish i took pics of me doing this while i was installing my punch's... but once i figured out how 2 pull out the wires and the gasket properly, it took a matter of MINUTES to complete.. instead of hours trying 2 fiddle around with the very LIMITED space your fingers have tryign 2 guess your way through.
  6. far out hope you got insurance! did you call the cops??
  7. you have a point there... i tested out my speakers via the stock wires and they sounded fine! after that i wired up the amp to the 3way punchs and ive set the amp to nearly the lowest setting it can go coz it got 2 damn loud 4 everyday driving. i havent sound deadened at all yet so maybe when i got the cash or someone starts giving it away 4 free (yea right)... but yea. amping up the front speakers isnt entirely necessary. i have gone though all the trouble of installing the stuff myself but i see no point in taking it back out. your choice though.. do what you gotta do 2 fulfil your needs
  8. kinda glad i never bought 1 in the first place.. was nearly tempted 2 unscrew some1 elses antenna but geez... dont want bad carma on my rolla... or myself :P
  9. couldnt be happier with my sub and its only 8inch square. supposedly makes bass equivilent to a 10inch round sub. if you want decent all around sound instead of deafening *DOOF*DOOF*DOOF* then i dont believe you need 2 get a 12inch. but yea on a side note i think size doesnt matter in this case.. people just like to say "hey mines 12inchs!"
  10. hiya.. im also running off my stock head unit (which cant play cds no more for some reason) details of my amps n speakers can be found below on my signature avatar thingy just under this sentence.
  11. is this hi/low converter the rca adaptor? what does it look like?
  12. no its not... sorry mate its not something we condone around here... yep totally agree! there isnt much that p1sses me off more than seeing stupid people (p plates or otherwise) driving irrisponsably.. as if theyre the only ones on the road. just today i saw 2 cars trying 2 drift while in a crowded shopping centre carpark. how wreckless can ya get
  13. yep 2 many damn blondes. might as well watch home n away
  14. im not interested if i get 4 weathershields and 2 of em dont fit coz its for sedan. if you can get a set of 4 for the hatch then im happy
  15. damn it - pimp my ride was on 1am on sunday morning??! i been stayin up late waiting 4 this when i realised... HOLD ON.. im 24 hours late
  16. i had the window down on when installing my punch's.. i dont think youd have any issues with the window hitting anything.
  17. the lite-fin looks good.. they all look good.. except i cant find anything that says it comes in 4stud?
  18. yea used 2 see that car around a lot near my area.. plumpton/mtdruitt/blactown. guy used 2 own a starlet with those plates i think? is he a member of the club?
  19. forgot 2 mention - around 9.10-9.15am saturday (yesterday) spotted heading east on the great western highway between st.marys/mt.druitt... silver/grey corolla (facelift? i think).. wiht a gold starlet just detached from its 4ss... not sure how it happened.. both cars going same direction.. maybe the rolla was goign to slow? maybe the starlet was going too fast?
  20. spotted round 10.27 - just minutes ago:P on the way 2 my parents house... in the glendenning industrial area near the M7.. GLENDENNIGN RD 2 BE EXACT. outta nowhere i spotted him up my ***** in my rear view - a blue prefacelift with silver sportivo grille...
  21. 26.. lol me thinks the 80's were good 2me
  22. i dont mind the bomex kit. if i had an intercooler n all dat then y not? the graphics on the rolla in that pic are distracting from a pretty decent kit. i like the sideskirts and rear of that kit particularly
  23. from what i heard, the bomex kit aint any cheaper than the c-one :P
  24. friday night games were good, but NOT as good as the original ITS A KNOCKOUT which ch.10 loosely made references 2 while hyping up the friday night games in commercialz. neither of them beat the japanese showz from agez ago. TAKESHIS CASTLE FTW! or if you got channel [v].. takeshiz castle has been revamped and more funny by being dubbed over in MXC.
