Changed the heater blower motor in my laser.....someone buy it so I can fix the FTO.

& lined the 4pk air-con belt back up again so I can get the steering rack sorted this week then be back on the road at least :D

Drove my FTO to Marketplace Lichart and let it stay at the parking lot, waiting patiently for its owner to come back from shopping. :D

modified stock air box to accomodate HKS air ram I reckon that you cant beat stock box for keeping it cold in there(has cold feed from front or bar and nice flowing intake to TB) 8)

Actually, I meant to say Im looking into a low profile sub. Mtx sledgehammer was overkill and took up too much roon/weight so looking to replace it with something that will give off a little more bass than 6x9's.

Looking into pioneer slimlines, might even just consider a normal sub like a 10" kicker. Something small to wedge in between my back seats and the rear strut bar.

Are the soundstream's any good? how much for a 13"?
