taking stock

[hoodooyoudo]

my new silvia. almost stock, but for autech style-a tail lights. second owner - 16,800kms on the clock.

short-term todo;

- new tyres
- reinstall audio / upgrade audio
- tint windows 50%

long-term? who knows. I'd probably like to buy it some new shoes..

 

[pegliobaglio]

[spoonman]

hi & welcome.

could be wrong but was this listed on trademe, going by the low ks, is it a auto?

 

[LuPix_S15]

Very nice - great platform to start your work on lol

Yup this is the one that was on trademe, the previous Spec S I traded in for it was auto as well - you don't really need a manual for a good audio install

 

[spoonman]

a sounds man aye, good on ya

 

[hoodooyoudo]

Something a bit different - and the S15 cabin can produce some really good acoustics if you're into good sounding stuff. It's not so good at oonst oonst though.

 

[meddler]

It all comes down to the installer and the tuner. I have heard great systems sound crap and average systems sound pretty good.

 

[hoodooyoudo]

when I say oonst oonst, I should specify that I mean SPL competition heh. The door window design not having frames means you can't build as much pressure - but the cabin shape itself is wonderful for good quality sounds. Amusingly even the factory option component speaker tweet placement is surprisingly good, even though it looks a bit odd on the door by the handle.

 

[meddler]

true, I was looking to get a set of the JDM door handle surrounds with the tweeters in them for my car. The ADM didn't have any tweeters there

 

[hoodooyoudo]

The nzdm doesn't either - that's why I was after the Fast catalogue. My spec-s did have them, and I miss 'em!

 

[meddler]

The FAST catalogue is for the ADM as far as I know.

 

[hoodooyoudo]

pretty sure the A2 cd is JDM.

 

[hoodooyoudo]

Now if only I could get the blimming thing to load.

 

[meddler]

gladly proven wrong

 

[hoodooyoudo]

Yup - A2 is JDM all right. Very very confusing too, though spoonman got me pointed in the right direction in http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?9588-Part-for-Component-Tweeter-panel-in-door-card

 

[meddler]

yeah I saw that. I got confused cause the service manual is for an ADM. (I should know better!!!) One day I will get that elusive JDM service manual!

 

[spoonman]

has anyone posted a how to guide in the contributors area on how to actually use FAST?
