st3ph3n Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Who gives a damn how fast your car gets to 70? You do! (I also do) Who cares how loud their car is? People who like that! That's the point see? But as I said - you can't have both.

But as I said - you can't have both. I do see your point, but normal people in the street will give respect to a powerful car regardless of whether it can be used to full potential or not, but show joe-punter all that stupid stereo gear and they won't get nothing from it; simply becasue power is something you associate with a car. Image a DJ with a set of turn-tables that he uses in night clubs; now inagine the same guy with an engine fitted to his rig... see? Anyway, as you said, it each to his own and when preference is in view there is no right and wrong, it entirely subjective.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 how many people ask you "hey mate,how loud does your stereo go? " as opposed to "hey mate, how fast does your car go?" Speed all the way..........screw tunes!!!
oxbig1 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 The dashboard hadn't escaped either... think it was completely re-done and although I never had a close look at it, I'm sure it was pretty 'unique' too.Cheers, Grant is this the one your on about? as every one hase a good point to say about install's i must say av bn there and dun it. its just like y do folk bother getting big 47"HD tv's for there house when a good old 28"SD will do the same job but yes i know theres ott like some of the MTX cars . aka
thewelsho Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah this is a great set up if you want to listen to your music from the MOON! Otherwise its hideous in sight with a really profane amount of money wasted.

RS Grant Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 is this the one your on about? No, I was talking about the Gold Digger dashboard mate.... I really liked the interior of that Impreza and the amount of money that had been thrown at it (including a reasonable stereo system ) and if I had the patience, knowledge and spare cash then I'd also have a flocked dash because I think they look brilliant. Cheers, Grant
dan_jess Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I think that Corsa is from down my way, well it passed me last night anyway. I understand what you guys are on about with the ICE installs, but i think a few of the over the top ones are the Audio companies showcars, are they not? Those are made to show off what the company is capable of.
fai17 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 My point is that you can't mix them all together - ungainly bodykits + big ice + performance mods = a champion turd. That is the best praise of the year for me and it's total true!! What is the point having big bhp only to be hindered by the big stereo and heavy bodykit!!!!
ed-209 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 just seems like money wasted to me, whats the point in a bootfull of super dooper super poofer subwoofers when if turned up full it bursts your ear drums and cracks your windows?, i dunno call me old fashioned lol Can everyone let it go now, It was only one windscreen I cracked with my ICE install, but it did still come second. I can see the point in fast cars, loud music, and bodykits, but then I'm just a 40 year old chav. Just remember 140db + will crack your windscreen as will 140mph will lose your license. But then again it's only money and it's theres not yours.
RA Dunk Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Can everyone let it go now, It was only one windscreen I cracked with my ICE install, lol this wasnt a dig at you, i didnt even know you had cracked one TBH, ive just heard that they can crack windscreens thats all as will 140mph will lose your license. not if driven on track it wont

Yeah mate that Corsa is from Ayshire, I used to be a member of the Corsa C drivers club, (before I seen the light and got a scooby) and he went to a few meets with that car. James

Ive never noticed it before
higgy Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i do like the flock dash Its been covered in alcantara. Higgy
wulsey Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i do like the flock dash The dash board in the orange STI was flocked last year! But this year Craig has gone for a full refit of Alcantara including the door cards & Door sills etc. I think he has spent in the region of 80k - 100k on his car in the past two years!
j10 dly Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Has it looked like that for a while or has it just came out the bodyshop? Ive never noticed it before No it must just have been re-done recently, used to look like this a while ago. Then Last Year like this
