im not talking about size. im talking about what a shire should be. a shire shouldnt be a Busy business area or a highly populated area. it should be a laid back area with lots of green grass easy going people and hobbits who live in holes.

thats a shire...

Driven though 'The Shire' lately...no coincidence its called the shire when it has the oldest national park in Oz in it...

Think I saw a goat tied up somewhere a while ago...hey, I'm from the REAL country myself, I know a good suburb when I see (or live in) one!!!!

Second oldest national park in the World ;)

lol i know all that. was just poking fun lol.. hehehehe REAL contry is Broken HIll. ImO.

would you say the ppl arent as relaxed and easy going as it was originally. i thnk many places in the "CITY" area are becoming to overcrowded and too domestic. acreage is always good.

"the shire" is alright. not a fan of national parks though.
"The Shire" apparently has a bad rep from all the "surfies". awe well just another piece of Australian History to enjoy.

and for anyone that is gonna complain about how i didnt know ware it is at the start. i looked it up and read the website!!!!!. so i know enough about it.

Its all good

Broken Hill isn't in the bush, thats out in the sticks

:

Acreage is definitely good, but then you're soo far away from everything!! I don't mind the bad rep "The Shire" has, I don't drive a station wagon/4wd with roof racks (for the surf board) so I don't attract much (unwanted) attention.

Anyway, back to LED's and soldering irons...

Also a few weeks ago on Saturday night I was going through the main street of Cronulla looking for a parking spot with my GF, stereo up to around 20 with the sub, radio tuned on 96.1. Had a ******** who ran out on the road and sort of blocked me. I slowed down from the 20kmh I was doing and he motioned me past. As I went to pass him he swung a punch towards the closed drivers window. I swerved left and booted it past hime before he could try it again. Drunk f**ker.

Might have had something to do with your radio frequency at the time

Bucket · 15-11-2006, 03:39 PM

I might get those mod's done here by someone in Perth...I shal investigate!

28-11-2006, 04:19 PM

I fixed up the LCD display so there aren't any light "hotspots" on the display.

How I drove to work today (cept with the guages temporarily in place)

xr8ute · 28-11-2006, 04:41 PM

Dude...take it to WSID while it is light ;)

28-11-2006, 05:24 PM

If anything more weight over the front wheels will help the bugger get off the line!

Hard to change gears?

Bit more progress. Sorry for the qual..

Only thing thats left is for the radio, although its proving to be a tricky bugger

Zetec20, do you still have that spare stereo hanging around?

Done.

Guliver_TwiSt · 28-01-2007, 11:52 AM

Thats looks brilliant!!! I really don't know why they didnt come like this stock. Virtually no manufactuerers use the boring green nowdays..

Also have any solutions for the really poor back seats lighting.. It looks seriously flawed and imbarrasing at night.

Another 3 cents that ford CBF spending

12-04-2007, 02:17 AM

Just a heads up, I finally had 4 hours spare tonight and armed with a fancy new soldering iron, finished the stereo. My full time job has been fairly hectic, so I hadn't had the chance to do anything else until tonight.

2 words sum it up: Effin Awesome.

Keep an eye on this thread I'll post pics on Friday.

...and I needed more reason to live on AFF!!!

Looking forward to the pics

xr8ute · 12-04-2007, 02:06 PM

Good work dude. Keen to see the results

12-04-2007, 03:54 PM

Phone cam does not do it justice, probably coz it picks up the UV from the blue LEDs. Anyone thats seen this on my car can tell you its a dark blue colour. The backlight on the display looks more like this, but with black LCD characters: http://www.superdroidrobots.com/images/LCD-011-000.jpg

Freakin awesome.

Bucket · 12-04-2007, 04:48 PM

That looks unreal mate!!! I want to get it done on my Focus

I wouldnt mind getting the Info Screen done blue like the VW's though hey :P

Do you get any Dash Rattles?

13-04-2007, 12:53 AM

Its put back together better than how it was originally.

I'll let you know if I get to Perth.

#Russ#Es# · 13-04-2007, 02:38 PM

Very nice!!

Good to see it all done.

We'll have to have another meet soon to check them out in the flesh

oziwally · 13-04-2007, 03:49 PM

Mate, that looks SWEET! All in all how long did you spend on it? I'm thinking it is worth a drive up to Sydney to get you to do it, with cash of course ;)
