robola 46 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ok dude’s, not so good new I’m afraid. I kept myself busy by making some brackets, so I could mount the speaker and plank in the car. Then I also started on the driver side. What you see right away is that I placed everything almost vertical. In other words, when the grill slides open, she slide up. Off course, this was not my intention, but I have no other choice here. When I place it all horizontally, I haven’t got enough room after the brake pedal. The next problem was, that I had to place the speaker a couple centimeters from the side. When the grill opens, I needed that space. Yet another problem was that once the grill was open, she came against the bulkhead. Here you can see that the speaker came a bit more to the inside. The fiberglass pots I made, have no use anymore. I made these specially so the speaker would fall more deep, to have some space to place my left foot. When all these fact left me no choice to do it otherwise, I took a look at the right side. And there was another things that needed to go… Now, not only the cables, but also the glove compartment needed to be delete for a big part. Now, I did some drastic changes in previous cars of mine Examples: - A petrol tank that needed to be removed, cause a subwoofer wanted his place - Adjusted seats/rails so this could be mounted more in the back - Remove all heating out of the car, so there was more room, … - So shortly, I never backed down to do some drastic changes to the car, in order to have the best possible sound. With this car, it’s totally different. I have no problem for doing some adjustments, no matter how much work it is, I’ll sleep every night. But with these grills, I already spent about 60-70 hours. Now I was thinking, this opensliding-grill project ….I’d better quit before I lose too much time. Did I raise the bar to much…No, I don’t think so, now I know I tried, so I can live with it. If I didn’t, I always would keep in mind: “what if I had tried ….” So dude’s, this is the end of the opensliding grill project. This decision made, I have some other idea’s for the floor-pods…and I’ll be using those little engines again . We’ll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 You never know unless you try! You're doing things that people havent dine in the past, so instead of learning from other people's mistakes or problems, you gotta just learn from your own! Keep up the great work! I bet you could sell the robolop pods instead of throwing them in the bin!! I had to post so I diddnt have to "next" through 50 pages on mobile I hate long signatures.... ...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head...

Well let's just say I almost fainted when I say the holes in the hood! For that I use some normal wood-mills, nothing special really. It’s really important that you use enough cooling fluid, and that you have the right RPM set. The RPM you need to search for the right on yourself. With aluminium I’ve got it set on 2, and these go to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
