Original post:

Hi guys. I thought I'd create a thread documenting my car and what I decide to do with it. At purchase it was completely standard:

Attachment 188280

Attachment 188281

Attachment 178717

Attachment 188282

Attachment 188283

I knew the rear tyres needed replacing, I took this into account with what I paid for the car. So during the week I had two RE050 MZ fitted to the rear.

I then ordered a new head unit.

I'm a bit annoyed with Halfords as they told me they ordered in all the cables I'd need, but I'm missing a PC99KEN - this basically connects onto the stalk loom which I have and allows it to control the unit from the right of the wheel. No biggie, I've just ordered one so I'll get it fitted once it arrives.

I went for the Kenwood BT73DAB, this gives me two USB ports, iPod compatibility, Bluetooth integrated, DAB (antenna included) and the usual radio/CD. I paid £180 for it from Caraudiosecurity and about £30 in total for all the leads.

I didn't bother drilling any holes, I had intended to put it in the glove box but that meant drilling and a lot of cable routing. So I opted for the console next to the hand brake. With my mates help, we managed to get the iPod cable squeezed into there and fed it up to the unit. Very happy with the unit, voice quality is good, it searches the iPod fast and the SQ is much improved.

















More to come soon.

Lovely colour!

Car looks good..

So how does the dab work with the window aerial?
Suppose it depends on your location and how many stations you could get?
The reason being I'm looking to changing to dab to get more stations but not 100% sure.

On the motorway and around towns it's great, but get into the country side and it can start cutting out. There are a few different aerial types, but from what I've read the film one is the best. Admittedly I could have positioned mine a little better but it works.

I haven't really driven anywhere since it's been installed, so can't comment on how this particular one is, but the one in my old Evo (Kenwood double DIN) was very good.

Come October you will be able to tuck it into the corner, no more road fund disks.

Car looks great. I got my mic under the speedometer as the engineer who fitted it said there would be too much rattle by the window.

How does it fair when driving?

Got a pic of it fitted? I may move mine.

Only fitted it today and not tried it when driving yet.

Love the Bermuda Blue colour!

Mine's fine and is clipped onto the top of the sunvisor, so sits flush. The wind noise on the motorway is annoying but that's what you get for having a soft top ...

Awesome colour. I'm biased though!

Which Evo did you have? I'd be interested to hear what you think of the S2000's handling compared to the Evo.

S2KIP

I had an Evo IX, 400bhp. I prefer the handling of the S2000, I think it feels faster and I enjoy driving it more. In the wet though the Evo was a different animal.
