Dude you are seriously on drugs.
How about to run the amps you just take a feed off the taillight wiring and go from there. Just means you will have to drive around all the time with your lights on to have music but it would be safer......................
Tony I would not let you anywhere near the wiring on my car if YOU PAID ME!


tell me matt, if i needed f**k accesories power feed just to turn on something, the main fuel pump wire is easy access and runs along the boot doesnt it?

and if he used that it would be easier as it is only to turn it on and off :roll: instead of wiring up a brand new switch JUST TO NOTIFY IT WHEN ACCESSORIES ARE ON to control when its on and when it is off


I wouldnt be f**k stupid enough to wire up an amp to the tail lamps :roll: im not THAT f**k stupid

Carputers are awesome, I've had one for the last 4-5yrs at least and couldn't drive without one now. I've grafted a touchscreen into the dash so no need for keyboard (but have a wireless one for when needed). Got the ITX motherboard and PSU in the jack storage area in the wagon, works nice.

well the water pump has chucked it's finally wobbly and will hopefully be getting replaced tomorrow if i can get my hands on one.

in the next few weeks i will be also installing a new radiator, does anyone know if a ef radiator will bolt in without any mods?

it will also be getting a new bottom radiator hose and a new coolant overflow bottle.

cheers bear

OK, quick tip here mate.

The EF/EL radiator have different bottom hose sizes compared to the EA-ED.

So you will need a specific one for a Boxcar.

Unfortunately, you cant use an EF-EL water pump without converting to a serpentine belt setup, or I would suggest you get one of them.

Cheers
BenJ
