Nice. Don't feel like trying something else? I think I'm going to go for the 595rsr's next.

Traced the rear speaker wires through the side of the car, channeled them to the head unit, split the existing rear speaker wires connected at the back of the head unit and connected the new wires in...and presto!!! I have sound from all four speakers now :)

well i've never taken my centre console apart so i just thought i'd explore! ended up finding all the pieces of my stereo surround and glueing them together, fixing my clicking air con, re routing my RSM to sit with my cluster and realising why my din 'pocket' wasnt sturdy!

dont plan on taking it all apart again anytime soon though :lol:

Threw it up on the dyno today. 113kW @ 3750rpm, 440Nm @ 2100rpm, 4994N Motive force @ 2100rpm. All figures at the wheels. Considering I'm running 32" aggressive AT tyres (made more noise than the engine on the dyno), I'm pretty happy with that result. And I've still got and exhaust to do and 5 more tunes to go up from here before I get something custom done 8)
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver
