in your face Q3 lovers

Frankie - I think Embattle meant 'where the fuck did u here of a 1.4 astra GTE and cheap insurance on that gay capri'

Mikey - Volvo 440 turbo... cant say i like em - they look shite... the clio 16v would be more fun m8y...

Performance figures:

Clio 16v: 0-60 = 7.6 secs, 130mph tops
440 Turbo: 0-60 = 9 secs, 124 topz

Go for the pioneer head unit... they have a much crisper sound and are more powerful than sony's. 4*45w RMS from the pioneers and it sounds like it too

Frankie - u dont want 6x9's everywhere m8... thats only for volume, not quality...

The ideal solution on the cheap:

Powerful head unit (go for the latest pioneer or kenwood units for around 200 quid)

Front: 6" mid/bass and 1" tweeter components - a decent make like kenwood, sony etc will have some for about 50 quid.

Rear's: 6*9's on the rear shelf. Make yer own shelf using 3/4 inch thick MDF. JBL make nice 6*9's but ive heard some boss sound 25 quid jobbies (180w i think) and they sounded quite nice with plenty of bass.

Then, a single 12" sub in the boot powered by a decent amp, or a dual 10" setup for a bit more volume.

Thats it really... 6x9's everywhere takes the piss anyway - they need a good mounting depth otherwise they sound fucked up... On the back shelf they use the boot space as a cabinet so get decent resonant bass

Cheap subs, some are quite good... I had this 20 quid 12" bass force affair - boxed up properly it wanna too bad

But, TFG audio up north have a top deal atm. A twin 10" bass box using quite nice looking white subs labled 'aluminium' or something and a fully built, carpeted ported box for 100 quid... I've read reviews and apparently its got niiiice sound and excellent value. I might get one

Sony minidisks - about 150 if you look around... theres only one model for that price (i cant remember its name like...) but its the one u want.

Pioneer get my vote tho, but u may have to spend closer to 200 for a MD unit.

 

[Embattle]

Naa I mean about Action UT. Let me guess your all........19ish? all this talk about ICE.

2LTR Volvo 440 Turbo, me knows there not that quick and you couldn't of gone for any thing worse, well maybe a Skoda, for name.
I mean people are going to ask you if you're allowed to drive your dad's car over 20mph

.

 

[old.frankie]

i wouldent diss volvos if i were u. They aint that bad a car, and I KNOW the 440's standered, without a turbos move darn fast, so with one it would rock. And they are solid cars, reliable, fast, good handling.

[old.Mikey]

Well I've driven a 440 Turbo before, yeah sure they aren't a hot hatch. But they do move! The volvo is also a better build than the Clio, no bloody rattles etc.. The volvo will piss all over the XR3I and other crap like that. Hell my mates V8 Land Rover pisses all over most of them!

Anyway back to the car audio, what I'm after is a CD/tuner unit with a AUX port for plugging my Mini Disc into..

[old.TUG]

I be 18 - i like ICE... I also like skoolgirls

Me fink volvo 440's are slow... me fink 850 T5's are smart though, now they ARE v. fast!

Frankie - u aint been in fast cars so yoo wouldnt understand, and older volvo's dont handle either. That 16v clio would twat the volvo to bits in the handling stakes...

Get a pioneer single CD player - any in the 150-200 range, kenwood's cheapest mask CD player with 4*44w is also a recommended head unit. Cant remember model names tho, soz

 

[old.frankie]

yea yea yea
whatever u say TUG, you are god, we all worship etc etc. ( That should keep im happy for a bit ). 44 watss x 4, thats fecking good aint it, im having that then, how much ?.

[Embattle]

I'm sorry but your showing that you don't know much about cars if you think that about the 440 or maybe your lack of being in many other cars is your problem. Only the recent Volvo's are any good, like the V70 T5, T5R, S70, S40 T4 but even then there not the best handling cars. I wouldn't be fooled in to the Turbo name on a volve 440 its not any thing like a proper Turbo.

 

[old.Mikey]

Agreed Clio 16v is the dogs bollocks and I'd love one but lack of £££. The Volvo I'm getting for Zero£. It will be better than my current Clio 1.4 RT! Anyway I'm going travelling with the girlie later in the year. Along with partying and buying records money will be tight. I would keep my Clio but it's a feckin 5 door!!

Thank you embattle

Having been in stuff like cossies helps knowing what cars fast... I once went in a BM 316 and shit meself cuz i thought it was well fast... then along came 325's and cossies... totally mad

)

The cheapest 44*4 kenwood mask head unit is about 150 if u look hard enuff...

Seeing as that voooolvo is free, might as well have it... or better, sell the clio, sell the volvo and then get the clio 16v

1.4RT's are smart... but only in 3 door

Decent 2nd cars i spose if u wanna spend more on a car but not on insurance

 

[old.Mikey]

Yeah tell me about it! I couldn't find a Clio RT 3 door that either wasn't brand new = £££££. Or wasn't run into the ground. I was well pissed off!

So I went to buy a 1.4 Fiat Punto and that sold the day I made my mind up. I wanted it!!

The car I would lurvvv to have would :
Audi S3 quattro
Impreza WRX
Porshe 911 (the new one)
PUG 106 GTI

But hey we can't have everything.

Orginally the car was to get me to work and back without breaking the bank, which it did perfectly.

Oh well

[old.Mikey]

I'm not getting the Volvo, insurance company wants a stupid amount of money! So I'm gonna save my money and party and go on holiday:

Homelands
Glastonbury
Berlin Love Parade

Thailand
Australia
Then home to get another job!

I'll probably stick with the Clio range, just get a 1.8 RSi or 16v. Just wish a didn't have a feckin 5 door Clio at the moment! I want a 3 door one!!

Explains why I haven't done anything to my current car.


Oh well

[old.taBOO]

is that at ICON Mikey?

 

[old.Mikey]

It certainly is!! Ikon may be crap on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

But on Monday's when we take over with the Judgement Day sessions it's rocking! We've got Carl Cox in March as well. I need to check with Gary on that one and hopefully Paul van Dyk in April. Oh yeah we've got Danny Howells on the 4th March, not at Ikon but on a boat, High Tide Boat Party. It's on the bottom right corner of the current flyer doing the rounds. Speaking of which, want some as I've got loads here as well.

The other brilliant night at Ikon is Wednesday when Gary and Renaud lay down some lovely house in Diva. Renaud does the warm in Ikon then if it's busy enough we shift next door into Diva!

Are you at Southampton Institute then?

Do you read Muzik, well another one of the Judgement Day residents James Zabiela was runner up on the bedroom bedlam competition.

Remember a club is about the residents as well and Gary I reckon played a better set than Oakie last time, deep, deep beautiful house. Do you know of the Menage A Trois promotions. That is basically the Judegment Day crew.

I'm good friends with Gary and co and will be getting more involved in the promotions when the work load at Uni. drops, bloody exams!!

frankie - pug 205 - only in 1.4 or above, otherwise, a bit lacklustre

Mikey - weld the back door to the front ones and have a mahoooosive door'd 3 door clio!

Me needs to go to big clubs, sounds fun

I reckon theres many 'bedroom' DJ's who can top big namers in quality of sets and mixing - look at judge jules - i reckon hes a bit naff at the old mixing trick...

 

[old.Mikey]

Don't knock Judge Jules too much. He knows how to rock a club. He blew Slinky apart back in November, but Ferry Corstan had the place going nuts anyway!

Forget the size of the club, go for the atmosphere and the people. One of the best clubs I've been to was a shite hole, but was rocking and had a brilliant atomosphere.

My top DJs

John Digweed
Sasha
Gary Benetton
Danny Howells
Paul Oakenfold
James Zebiela

Watch out Southampton, we are going to try and put Southampton back on the map this year.

Otherwise I'll cry!!

Tug I hate the colour of my Clio as well, saw a lovely metallic red clio with a nice set of 15" wheels on it earlier today, basically the one I bloody wanted

Well I've got a feckin exam at 9:30 tomorrow

Anyone here been to Fabric yet or Peach @ Camden Palace. We will be hitting clubland again on the 4th Feb and I want a good night. May go to Slinky, but that will be the last option.

[OOps only read the first page and I think the subject might have changed by now]
:O


Frankie, stick to computing m8, doing up cars is a lot of expensive hassle and you can never be bothered to fix em when trhey need it. I have an Audi Quattro - old shape, and I cant even be arsed to wash it.

Insurance quote for Porsche 944 - £430
" " " Astra GTE - £1500

hmm tough choice.

Also - big speakers are a right waste of time if your kids keep telling you to turn it down all the time. And its not quite the same with radio 4 anyway

I am 29 you know.

[old.frankie]

hehe

tug m8, u know them cheapo speaker, like 14 doller jobs, and 500 watt, 12" as well. Well instead of having any normal speakers, just have them in all the doors, and everywhere normal speakers go, hehe, about 8 12"'ers. NICE
