That’s an inspiration for casting inner fender wells in fiberglass, after I’ve collected several 60 litre plastic jugs which held distilled water from where my neighbor works. Cutting them up and forming them using a hot air gun would have been too much work for uncertain success.

If you drive around with the hatch up, pundits will confuse you for a church minister. Especially, if you blare out some Velvet Underground of whom Lou Reed fired his organ player, because he was “tired of producing Heaven music” :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The heating and forming of the plastic is a different idea for sure. No clue if it would have the strength though.

The fiberglass moulding is easy and a proven way. the longest part is taping it all off tbh, took me about an hour each side to lay enough tape down.

The reason for the cross is because since my last update i have stage 4 cancer and he has given me many more moons to enjoy life and i have given myself to him :slight_smile:

Fiberglass is much stiffer and would provide better acoustic resonance than would flexible plastic. For fender wells, it dosen’t matter.

4th stage cancer sounds horrible. If you’re in Australia, I’m guessing Melanoma is the culprit? Statistics say, it’s most likely

Fast little meter on the subwoofer build. A 128 with music. A 130 wouldn’t be an issue if I had more time with the meter.

Not bad from two sealed 6.5s

128 db is great from a pair of 6.5 inch subwoofers. Were you playing any particular sound frequency or music?

Pure music. I working on a little project to aid with getting more.

I will do a full 15-100hz sweep and see what is loudest and play with box packing and other little things to see if i can get the most out of the sealed boxes.

Whilst a big ported box would hit 132+ no issue i will have a narrow band that is loud..

This was playing from 125-128db from low 20s to 60 Hz.. I did get slightly higher but no image.

So. Things have changes and i’ve been busy.

Off topic of the mira but i have been building and slowly restoring a g11r.

The poor girl sat for a long time with a rod through its block until recently.

Put in a fresh turbo cb. and got it running over 2 days of slowly working out bolts and parts. Have a few images.

The fuel tank was very very bad. but i managed to get it cleaned up. I am slowly making it look nicer.

Enough of the G11r. And here is a image to get you excited about the next stage for molly the 4door :slight_smile:

Yep. Turbo time :slight_smile:

i am slowly collecting all the supporting stuff but this is a full bolt on lot.

Not going for power but just an extra little puff for up hills and over taking.

lets have fun.
