My WOF man hasn't said anything,at a stretch you could call the bumper side ones the reflectors. You would be lucky if i clock up 3-400km between warrants,he knows it doesn't get used everyday,once a week,if you are lucky.And i don't drive it like a idiot to call attention to it...most of the time :...

in my opinion; 1,Fuel filter ,Every 4 or 5 years will be fine,Give it descent fuel too,95 grade 2,Give it the one big service now,wont need to go that far for quite awhile. 3,Repco/Ryco filters are fine,use a known brand 15/40,No need to go overboard. 4,Just get NGK BKR5E-11 and NGK leads,you can't ...

Unfortunately,they were just never designed for audio installs ,
Some GOOD quality 6" components can make a good sound without having to throw bulky bass speakers around.
Like the Fusion piece you have got ,Be keen for photo's when you get it fitted,Be interesting to see where you get in.

Just remember,everytime you relist on Trade Me it costs,I couldn't see them selling one every week,maybe once in a couple of months,and then trade me will take 9% of the sale price.

Making a profit is not bad,its how our employers pay us,so we can buy shiny new toys and stuff

yep,Straight swap,Does mean you have a longer hose to weaken over time,but then no steel pipe in the middle to rot out,50/50 call to say you will gain anything. Silicone hose's might be a better way to go if you go the one piece,stronger and will not collapse as easy being longer,then again never so...

All keen for one myself...But have you checked with Zorruno that he does not mind,He does own the domain name and this site.
I would imagine he would like final say so.
Maybe those that are cleaver enough can throw a few more design idea's out there,and do a poll to choose one design.
