Hello, I'm the new proud owner of Speedster #4849. It's a turbo from 2005 and it's equipped with 2 way Ohlins shocks, a Qaife anti slip diff, full stage 3 Regelin and TD wheels. I've been on a track with it and it was simply incredible, at no moment was I slowed down by the car. I've been able to drive it for nearly 3 full hours without having any problem nor fading brakes or whatever.

 

I've installed a 2 way speaker system along with an Apline Imprint audio processor and the difference is night and day with before. Here are some pics of the system as well as of the car.

I like that, wouldn't cut my original cards up but I've got a spare pair of tatty door cards and a spare set of coaxials in the garage...... Welcome. :)

Definitely worth considering if you wanna keep all 4 dash vents.... Too late for me however 😀

The sound is IMO better with the speakers in the door cards whereas in the vents. The speakers are more directed towards you and with the Imprint, the improvement is really noticeable. In the doors, they are 10cm speakers (I dont' think largers ones would fit).
