Not posted on this in a while since last time i posted
In march a bus crashed into me when i was stationary 6 DAYS AFTER PASSING MY TEST!!!!
I was on my way to get a mot i was just outside the mot center when it happened

my car was written off and it took about 1 and a half months to get my car back
the bus clipped my wheel when it was on full lock I had to get new trackrod end, roll bar, hub carrier, ball joint, new Tyre,and a few other bitsIMAG0607_zps86gsqnfy.jpg




I have also gotten myself a head unit and subwoofer about 5 months
The subwoofer enclosures a tad to big for my boot so was thinking about doing a boot build soon anyone got any tips on making one?
Got the subwoofer off of caraudiosecurity it was a deal which included the sub amp and wires only cost me £150
its 1000 watts so thats more than enough for me even has a volume control which i have wired up to the front of the car infront of the fuses

i had to wire in a switch because when i got my car back from my insurance they ripped all the wires out and now i cant seem to get the sub to turn off
with the ignition.
My rear wiper stopped working so i have dewipered it and got myself a gti splitter and pressed plates
