So I recently travelled up to Torquay for a week in my baby. Was a very relaxed fun trip with the missus.
Prior to leaving I had my mate install my Alpine head unit from my old Holden VT SS, it was just sitting around and thought I should put it to use. I didn't want to position it the same as most people, in the centre console, so I had purchase another dash fascia from a fellow member on here. Cut that up with my mates Dremel so the head unit would fit where the original radio goes. Wired it all up and looked all good. Upon driving my missus home that night, I realised my interior cluster lights no longer work :P So I've just avoided night driving since then! I'll fix it sometime soon seeing as I'm on holidays and don't have much to do anyhow.
I'm running my Alpine head unit off of the 30 yr old stock speakers because I don't want to ruin my parcel shelf! I will replace them soon, but not yet. I can't have the volume above 15 before it starts to distort, but it's still pretty loud for a little car. I'm surprised how clear they are, but they COULD be clearer :P
I also dodgied up a centre console to suit the altered shifter position since it has a KE70 shifter position, but I didn't take enough off it and will alter it again or remove it till after I put in my W50 Celica steelcase box.
Pics are coming, I've just been lazy!
Cheers, Jake.
