Hmmm 1280kg isn't bad at all.
My Volvo is 1430kg and is rated 0-62mph - 9.2 sec, but I have a feeling it's a bit more than that. (Stupid auto gearbox!)

Just got the new headunit, the rear speakers still don't work and it's not getting any power with the ignition off, so it resets every time.

I have an appointment with an car-accoustics specialist at the end of the week, they told me that the rear speakers have their own amps and the signal needs to get to them via the cinch connectors, which the new headunit luckily has, but there are no cables. They said it will take about an hour to set it up. They'll also look at why it's not getting power.

Otherwise, it looks and fits perfectly!

^ Was there something wrong with the old one? Looks pretty modern.

prizrak · June 29th, 2009, 12:55 PM

New one fits the look of the car so much better

IceBone · June 29th, 2009, 1:40 PM

The backlight kept cutting out, but the main reason was aesthetics.

IceBone · June 30th, 2009, 5:32 PM

Nothing major to update, but got it registered and insured in my name finally (the old one ran out) and got new plates, which any hitchhiker would love.

Got the radio fixed, cost me 30 euro for an adapter for rear active speakers and 20 euro to get some power to it while the key's out of the ignition.

Pretty powerful stuff now. Beautifully optimised too, it's super sweet!

<+Ice> Ugh... almost had another crash today. Same thing that happened with the carisma, but in reverse. This time it was me standing and someone else locking up the brakes behind me with not enough room to stop. Luckily I noticed quickly enough and gotten out of the way.

Cough Cough

That wouldn't have been ME crashing it, would it?

Say what you will, but I love that wood interior.

prizrak · July 7th, 2009, 10:04 PM

Get rid of the woodgrain.

IceBone · July 7th, 2009, 11:46 PM

The what now?

Wood is good. It's much better than some stupid carbon fibre decal or fake brushed aluminium. I'd never ditch the wood in my car, neither should you. Be proud of the wood! images/smilies/wink.gif

killpanda · July 8th, 2009, 3:24 AM

I loved the wood in my old Fiesta, it was wonderfully ridiculous and out of place in such a car images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I personally prefer black plastic like in my car. Wood just doesn't work in a black interior and to me it looks cheap.

You prefer black plastic because you think real wood in a car is cheap? images/smilies/lol.gif

IceBone · July 8th, 2009, 3:52 AM

Yeah... that makes as much sense as a bunny with a pancake on its head.

No wonder all Aston Martins and Jaguars and Rollses have black plastic and not that pesky cheap wood inside.
