So legal size tyres that aren't race tyres don't appear to exist so I'll get some 195 stretched onto the teddies. I'll swap my re003 off the buddy clubs onto them as there's no point in them sitting in the lockup doing zero. 

On my pick a part mission i grabbed some components. Finally got around to installing them into the accord

Annoyingly it sounds better than the stuff in the orthia. That amp sounded crap before so it could be my settings or the amp is just shit. 

I've got another couple of amps to try so that'll future Chris problem

Nice, I used to have an Orthia a few years back, always thought they were one of the better shaped 90's wagons. I spied a manual one the other day, mustn't be very common.

There are a few 2wd manwell ones around, my ex had one. 

I want to find a manwell crv and Rob all the bits out of it

Fitted a alarm as there is no boot let lock and it's annoying havering to open it from inside the car

I suspect the sub is nfg as its no worky. Tried two amps and two seperate rca cables, power where it should be etc. Will do some more testing tomorrow and go from there

The metal was so thin it was either blow a hole instantly or tame some seagulls then blow holes. 

Cut a patch out and seagulled it in

Strangly enough with the correct type and volume of fluid things work much better. 

It was two litres low, shudder is gonw now, it still surges a bit but I'll ignore that until it gets worse. 

Changed the atf in the orthia while I was on a roll
