Fed up with the dodgy screen


Well the screen glares and the plug keeps falling out and now, the drivers have gone screwy too.
I decided to take action so I have ordered this in dash monitor. It has RDS radio built in and has speaker level outputs. I am going to run those and the computer audio to a Kenwood active crossover I have also ordered and then run that to the amps. This will give me 3 big advantages:
  1. I'll be able to keep a simple and powerful RDS radio.
  2. I will have all my audio running through crossovers which will give a cleaner sound.
  3. I won't have to keep plugging in and unplugging the screen, the computer will literally work on ignition.

Spoliers on and more to come

The spoiler was finally fitted a couple of weekends back (pictures when I can be arsed to go outside and when it stops raining).
It looks great, they did a good job and undercharged me :)
I have also agreed to buy a GT bodykit from a guy on NPOC. It is the skirts and bumpers and the front one has been modified too. All for £100. I am trying to get quotes for painting and fitting but it looks like being about £200 on top.
