One life. Live it! Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Just been catching up on this thread, very very impressive work going on.ICE installs are not my thing but love all the outside the box thinking, Cant wait to see it all finished. Oh by the way, I told Casper the same, BBS RS's are so 2008 Thanks Colin! (at least for the initial compliment!! ) I've certainly enjoyed reading everyones threads on here. I think that's the thing though . We all have different interests and slightly different angles of likes and dislikes . There's so many diffferent projects going on here but you can still appreciate them and thier efforts regardless. I'm SO looking forward to getting the loop back on the road! Not long now!

REDLooP Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hey stu,What sound deadening matting are you gonna use, not talking about the max mat. But the closed cell foam stuff that gonna go in between pannels an on the floor.As the interior is comming out of mine soon, so just wanted to add some extra noise reducing material while it's out. And so the new equipment will sound that little bit nicer when it's finally fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubsy Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 max mat is far better than people think i have a tonne if it in my car and for those who dont know how heavy it is its heavy but lighter than dynamat the russian military actually use max mat to soundproof their nuclear subs so it must be good!

And so the new equipment will sound that little bit nicer when it's finally fitted.As James is part of the Fourmasters network he uses skinz for thier foam cell stuff. We used it in the doors of my transporter and it might go in the loops doors but not anywhere else. Dubsy- that's an interesting fact that- if it's good enough for the russians it's good enough for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One life. Live it! Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 There has been some advancements in the project. One of the 'trickest' features of the build has been done and I can't wait to show it. When ive done my first show I will try and get a video up. This week sees a lot of the finishing finished!!

dubsy Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 motorised amp rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One life. Live it! Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 motorised amp rack?Pretty much there Dubsy! The rear seat is motorised to tip and slide to give access to the tyre kit, fuses etc and then the amps can be reached for adjustment. Hope to give you some more pics over next few days as amps are being connected up, head unit in, door pods are being trimmed and dash and centre console too!

One life. Live it! Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well.... The Lupo is NOT going to make Dubmania :-( Shame! James was not happy with the dash after fitting it and refitting x8!!He's reordered the leather for it and is redoing it so obviously this has taken a bit more time. I'm disapointed not to be making this weekends show but happy that James has high standards to want to make the job perfect. I'm happy waiting a little longer if it means the finished outcome will be top notch! Il post some more build pics tomorrow! It WILL be ready for the Bristol volksfest. Bring it on!!

I won't be coming without the loop- which is a shame. I've racked up some serious mileage in my transporter and I'm going to give it a little bit of a rest over the weekend! Will be doing the Bristol volksfest next weekend and then il have a look at what other shows are on. Hope your loop is on the road to recovery? What shows have you planned to do over the next month or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
