    dont want to be spending thousands but 150bhp or more would be mint gonna uprate brakes etc... aswell as dont wanna kill myself lol

    Got all my audio in the rear at the moment and car feels so slow but all my mates reckon it wouldnt make a diff if i removed it all gotta have about 80kg's in the boot with my install

    yeah get rid of all the audio if you want to go quicker

    i was in the same situation when i did my conversion from vtr, i decided to bite the bullet and chuck some 708's and KMS in at the same time.

    it gets over the immobiliser issue and gives you a lot more tuning potential for the future.

    downside is it costs quite a bit

    still want the audio thats the prob might re-do it and make 2 small light boxes out of MDF for my subs as the box for my subs at the moment ways about 30kg's its the MTX Sledgehammer box - any ideas on keeping the build but making it as light as possible - all in my thread post #65 i think the audio starts

    Any ideas would be much appreciated

    if you wanna make it lighter get a fiberglass instal, fiberglass dosnt weigh moch at all, alost less than mdf anyway!
