Introduction
thund3rdom3's mk2b low&slow
just one day after I said goodbye to my mk1, this one came to my yard; it's a 2004 mk2b powered by 1.2 8v engine packing the allmighty 60HP
It's still in stock, only the trunk is without lights and badges (except the "Punto" one, that will be removed soon). I only put in some music, since it came with no radio :bang: .. the HU is Pioneer DEH3300UB, enough for my needs, the front system is Hertz DSK165 and the rear is Hertz DCX 690, I finally hear the music, and with pretty good quality, considering the hardware used (entry level, no amp or woofer). The only problem is, and I learned now for the future, never rush into anything ; the speakers had to be installed THAT VERY MOMENT, and all went fine, except the positions of the tweeters ( see pics below) :bang::worship::bang:
As for the future plans :
- coilovers are already ordered, they should come in one month time, maybe less.. that's when he goes closer to the floor
- Renault Laguna lip, which was intended to go on my mk1, will now be going here
- since I got new winter tires with the car, steelies will be sprayed black, and I'll start saving money to get some nice alloys & rubber till the summer
- blacked out headlights, debadged front grill, maybe some black mudflaps (just for the winter ), stickers..
these are just basic plans, there will be more done during the process,but for now, this is enough info, now it's time for some pics
...and after one year, we come to this look...
for the list of changes, and the progress inbetween, read the rest of the thread
