Glad you enjoyed it

Sometimes all we can do is be the example

I did. I needed to edit something for privacy reasons. I'll be reupping it tomorrow

Reversing camera is only used to judge the distance from kerb / wall.

So you don't need to look out the windscreen to see the reversing camera display@@ValentineAutosV2

Honestly it's one of the best applications. And printing in ABS you can make them really strong, or at least use them as masters to do injection molded replacement parts. Extra useful when paired with a 3D scanner

Boo

No reason that I'd get pulled. There's no law in the UK that says they can't be completely blacked out other than any tint can't dim the light under 50% of OEM brightness, and you can't cover the reflector. With the LED upgrade they're brighter than OEM, and the reflector is down by the indicator, so it's all good.

Yeah, pads, rotors and fluid are all on the list for over winter. Clearly needs a bunch of work before it's ready again, but it gives me something to do!

I'll take it, lol

Greetings. Yeah, that glare was critical. I really considered deepening the recess or adding an overhang like you say, but by testing as I went I realised I didn't need it so it was all good. Appreciate you feeding back buddy

Not from that angle. When you look from the other side it does. Quirk of the wrap. Doesn't matter now though as I've already rewrapped the whole console in black suede, and that panel in plain black vinyl. You'll see in a video next week.

"eventually"

@@paulatkinson90 1:30😅😅😅

Appreciated buddy.

Yeah man. Definitely the goal for 2025

Appreciated buddy

Plenty more coming, don't you worry

Have to let me know how you get on!

Fair point. I always just used the rough rule of 1cm high and 2-3cm wide, and do a line down the middle. Or golf ball vs pea. Always seems to work.

That was a hell of a trade!

@@ValentineAutosV2 I know we were both happy, the ST was a bit rough around the edges but a good ST225 and I needed a diesel at the time but then ended up getting rid of the golf for another Focus ST225 lol

Thank you so much for saying so. If it helps even one person seek help then I'll feel this video was worth making.

I know. He was commissioned by Lambo to take the shots for their official marketing

Mistake on my part. I pulled up the a pdf for the amp (at least I thought I did) and it said to use the left. I'll adjust to bridge when I see them on Wednesday

I think the funniest (if you can call it that) thing was that nothing was tightened down, at all.

@@ValentineAutosV2 Right? Basic electrical principles should be taught in primary school.

Just what I was going for lol

Great insights and you clearly know more than me about this stuff. I did actually swap out the fuse in the amp at the end but forgot to film it! Interesting about the power wire. They say it's what came with it, but who knows. Good note on the bridging. I didn't see that. I'll make sure that's fixed when I see them later in the week. Appreciate the insights bud.

@@ValentineAutosV2 no problem, always glad when I can help out. Power delivery to an amp should always be overkill. Wiring should be able to provide more power than the load can pull. That way you will see less voltage drop = more RMS power. That power wire now looks like an 8mm2 or 10mm2. 12v, 30A over give or take 5m, a 10mm2 is really on the edge of the cable's capacity. You will see voltage drop at the amp. 1 size up, 16mm2 will put less stress on the system. A good, solid ground is also vital. If your amp ground is bad, it will search for a ground, which will be the RCA cables in this case. Your head unit is not going to like that 😂 The error the original installer made on the battery terminal is the wire connector between both ends of the battery clamp. This is why it wasn't clamped around the battery terminal and you were able to pull it off the battery. This can lead to a shitload of issues with everything electrical. Yea, you can say I'm a veteran. Trial and error. I've blown my share of amps, head units and subs, due to stupid mistakes. There are a couple of channels that go in depth in installing systems, and building custom boxes, like @caraudiofabrication. Check him out! (no, not my channel 😂)

I'm about to embark on my first major install on my own car (several subs, speakers and amps) along with building all my own enclosures and mounts, and I have no doubt that it's going to be a massive job with loads to learn. Looking forward to diving into some channels and leveling up. I'll be sure to check that one out.

It's a raincoat that I got from TK Maxx. It's by Reason.

You get all the credit where it's due mate

He really does, and takes such good pictures! Good person to know

I did. Spicy looking ride. Honestly think I'll end up with an R33 in the next couple of years. I (controversially) prefer it over the 32 and 34

Yeah, I mean years of upholstery experience definitely helps, but honestly it wasn't all that bad. Pretty forgiving. Be interesting to see how it holds up.
