Ok not alot to start with as i have no time to have a play with it yet
Im DaveyB From Telford Shropshire, Used to own a bright Orange astra 2.0
But got rid of that for my van! (due to getting a quad bike and having no way of Moving it around!) Pics of quad at end of thread!
Details:
Van: Corsa Combo Merit
Engine: 1.7 Non turbo Izuzu
Miles: 150k And still going strong!
Colour: White and rust (also hand painted roof box!)
Pics Standard:
I only had a side pic of the alloys, but nothing much is different from the next picsture of the whole van at this point!
After 1st mod - The alloys.
Had to get rid of the alloys, so i took my Cav Fan blades off my astra and used them instead! Much Better!
Ice so far!
Made a plate with a pair of 6x9's in to cover the gap at the top above the driver - nothing fancy, just some more sound atm!
And had to advertise my local Cruise site of which i am staff!
Quad pics! Obviously had to post some pics of the reason i bought the van!
And in the van!
My amazing top speed so far!!
93Mph! ha!
Plans:
In no particular order!
*Morettes
*Later bumper with Chrome V Grille - To be replace with Badgeless grille
*De strip sides and doors
*De badge
*Tint windows!
Extream plans - PLans that will take a little longer!
*De handle back door
*Full respray in white
*Carbon fiber the roof box!
Comments welcome! - Will be posting regular updates!
Thanks - DaveyB

Erm... You originally put them above your head, pointing away from anywhere near your ears, and now you're going to put them by your arse?
Just get a good set of components and amp them. If you really must get a couple of 8" subs and put them behind the seats. The sound quality will be far better than 6x9s playing music to your butt cheeks.

I see your point! just though it would be better to have the speakers pointing forward instead of backwards!, but will look into a better set up!
