Mk6 Fiesta Flame 1.4 Build Log (Was Fiesta Mk6 5 Door Custom Sub)

[GingerFlame]

The main reason I've decided to get a capacitor is to take a bit of strain off the battery as I noticed one of my HIDs starting I flicker a while back, not sure if the bulb's on it's way out :(

I'll be honest I haven't been upto the car in about 2/3 weeks! I start work at 11 in the morning and finish about 8/9 meaning it's dark by the time I leave! Panto finishes at 4 on Wednesday with the last show on Thursday meaning I can have an afternoon at the garage! Can't wait to put the car back on the road!

One other little thing I've done is changed the SMD LEDs from green to blue in the heated windscreen/rear window switches :) haven't taken them back up to the car yet though!

[GingerFlame]

Going to play some music whilst I'm at the car tomorrow/Thursday just to try get them as broken in as I can before January

Ensure you run the engine every hour to top up the battery.

Look forward to seeing the amp fitted,

Capacitor will surly cushion the demands they say you need 0.5 Fared for every 500 watts

Cant wait to continue my own project mid January

Only thing i got for Christmas was a Gift Card for Halfords and my five year old daughter threw it in the fire

Had planned to get myself some Autoleads enclosure Carpet

I'll be running it every 20 mins with it being cold weather! Think my battery's coming to it's end.. It's not terrible but it's not what it was when I bought the car meaning it's deteriorated very fast! It had new water when I bought it as it wasn't great!

That must be a hint from your daughter to stop modding the car! Haha... You must've been gutted! :(

When the battery gives in mate you should go for a Bosch battery they do two types for every car,

One standard and a slightly bigger capacity one for if you run accessories.

That's when i plan to upgrade anyways.

Yeah i am gutted mate was stuck on to some wrapping paper and she was opening everyone's present for them,

Vicki got the Dove set but on the wrapping was the Halfords Voucher has taken me four days to come to terms to discuss it

I'll never stop modding the car lol don't know what I'm gonna do when it's done.

[GingerFlame]

I'm going to get the battery from a friend who's at a garage.. Mates rated ;) aha. Definitely going for the fancy pants one!

Atleast you've still got your club discount!! Keep that card Ina fireproof safe!!!

You could mod Vicki's car for her once yours is done :)

Anybody want this? Free to a good home.. Or an abusive one if you're that way inclined. You pay postage, I'll package & post it

Only condition is that you don't sell it on for any profit within a year or you'll get a bag of coal next Christmas :)

It's a Sony something or other, worked when removed from car and can't see why It shouldn't now

Isn't postage free within the Uk?

[GingerFlame]

I wish :(

If it's a letter or small parcel then you can buy a stamp priced accordingly, with 1st or 2nd class.. Ranging from less than a pound to a few pounds.

If it's a box then I think it's a couple of quid but Royal Mail don't really deal with big parcels from the public & I don't think they really do big parcels for business'.

Couriers are the way I like to go and they range from £3 to £40 most commonly, although you can easily 'spend' £450 on a courier! Same as you can 'spend' £20,000 on car insurance when they really don't want you're business but still want you to know they exist.

We can often get free postage from businesses but that's about it

Just ordered my amp, capacitor, wire & RCA port

[GingerFlame]

Sick of this f'ing app crashing on me. Written two updates and it's crashed twice before I had chance to copy/back it up

Here's a picture of my heater switches changed to Blue

Also, I've had a message from the shop I bought my amp from saying that my amp will be delivered before the 5th of January

I personally don't bother with the app neither,

I copy quotes to my email then respond below it,

When completed i copy the whole lot and paste in to a post.

This way if it crashes nothing is lost.

The blue illumination looks great,

If the amp is shipping within the UK then it should surely arrive within 2 days.

I've ordered to connectors to fit into the enclosure for the blaupunkt amp. They will be used to pass the signal for the rear Speakers into the enclosure,

The amp is being delayed due to FedEx having a backlog of parcels

That was the video i watched a while back Lenny! It's amazing the power both amps push out for such a small size without costing £500+

JL Audio are such good value for money! & the quality Is more than I expected for the price! I've heard they're heavy though.. Especially for the size which is always a good thing to hear!

Amps are generally heavy i assumed its because of all the capacitors inside,

I saw the video and thought id post it on here as i know its the one you purchased,

Im surprised at how small the actually are for the power they provide its excellent
