Also the tail shaft leading to the diff has marked lines like it has been removed before. Is any of this from factory and does it look like the diff bushing has one of those aftermarket caps on it to fill the void ? Then to confirm that the bf has a 19mm rear swaybar.Also put on a boot mat to make it look a little cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing nolathane ones that slot in between the factory bushing for more support ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I See it a lot on taxis, gives it good support without all the extra noise the aftermarket ones have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about the fade control and signal noise Glad you mentioned that though cause at least if it does happen then I know it's fairly normal. I will be glad though when I can use by usb for music than burning more god damn cd's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the console surrounds out was easy and so was a lot of the other things such as running the wires to the fused panel and head unit.It became an issue when we tried to push the head unit and fascia back into the tissue box area, I'm not sure if it was just my circumstance or the brackets were the wrong way around but they fowled at the back near a foot well vent.So took a little off the brackets to make that fit and then fiddled with the wires at the back to make sure it all cleared. Also placed the bluetooth mic near the driver side tweeter and ran the wire under the dash mat and pushed the remaining cord behind the side of the icc.Then came the point where the unit was about 80% back in and connected up... so turned it on which worked but all the sound was coming out very muddy and sounded like the sub wasn't working... Came inside and did a search while having lunch and couldn't find any common errors. Then went back to the car and played with as many settings as I could with nothing really working. Then the old man saw in the headunit manual and option for sub / speakers or sub/sub and speaker/speaker... Sure enough after changing it to speaker / speaker it worked !Overall very impressed with the quality so far ! I've set it to a high limit of volume on the head unit and then adjust the bass and volume through the icc. No distorting so far but haven't been on the road with it working yet.
