JoeA Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Right, the ball is getting rolling with Vixen now, haven't posted in while. Now I'm settled into Uni and exams are over Vixen has been getting some TLC. Since last update, abit more carbon, some GTI rear door cards with alpine type e co-ax behind. Ive also had the back box replaced with a straight pipe from the mid-box, which, IMO sounds nice, not chavvy, just like before but less muffled with a slight rasp.Past Months work:-A fair fews LEDs-Osram Nightbreakers-Chrome indicator bulbs (de-oranged)-Conti sport front tyres-New lower front bumper in black (wasn't a fan of the colour coded one, plus was a **** job whoever the last owners got to do this)-Pressed plates (finally, been wanting these for ages!)-New heater resistor-A new sub, Alpine type r 1222d, was cheap as is only running on one coil but is loud enough for my daily use and gives me some space for my cleaning gear. Double sub is still in my possession for special occasions -Got a BMC DIA on the way which is purely for noise purposes. The OMP panel filters sound nice, but i want abit more roar.-Got another alpine amp ready to go in for the front speakers.-Ordered my rear ARB from awesome Al today Been keeping on top of the dirt and washing and waxing every week, can't stand having a dirty car!Ill pull my finger out and get some proper pictures up soon!Coilies coming soon..... i realised if i wait and get proper ones £400 ish, i won't want to upgrade so soon as if i got JOMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Got the ARB on yesterday, what a difference. The car doesn't try to kill me around corners. It goes exactly where you point it. Also Fitted the BMC DIA, all ill say is, my car does not sound like a 1.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Got the ARB on yesterday, what a difference. The car doesn't try to kill me around corners. It goes exactly where you point it. Also Fitted the BMC DIA, all ill say is, my car does not sound like a 1.0 i didnt think there would be much point in fitting one of these to a 1.0, does it really do anything apart from make it sound nicer ?

JoeA Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 It has altered the sound drastically, loads of induction roar it has made it a tad quicker but not enough to shout about and that was not the intention anyway, I wanted noise and I got it!

JoeA Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Alpine Type Rs . My system is no way near the loudest but the quality is insane. I actually did my music revision for my A-level last year in my car listening to classical music (Gustav Mahler), its not all yobbo tunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Nope, its an off the shelf XLseries, does the trick. The new sub is in an off the shelf box also (filled with padding this time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you, and where did you get it from, might think about getting one in the new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 It came with the subs I bought them used so can't help you I'm afraid, can be had off eBay and halfrauds have a small selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 The BMC itself was about 40 new they're about 110 and all the pipe work was 100, I didn't buy it I buIlt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Oh right fair do's. Thinking about it for next year cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Need the exhaust doing aswell for some decent noise, the standard setup muffles too much low frequency noise. Edited December 12, 2011 by joeadamou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yea i was gunna remove the mid box i think, just straight pipe from cat to back box. im sure that would make a differnce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Remove the back box, thats what i did, made a very big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 what did you do with the end of the tail pipe? was it bent downwards or just shorter and facing towards the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Bent down but still hidden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
