I brought a new head unit yesterday so set about installing it this morning.....

After abit of pulling and gentle screwdriver prising i got the front panel off.

from then on everything was simple. so its all in now and working and sounds amazing .

Even got my i-pod working which is great

only issue i have is my dash controls dont work now KCE-865B. needed

you'll need a modifry wiring harness to make the in car controls work with it. Search on here and you'll find it.

Look under UK meets and events.

The Surrey meets is a short sprint away... but it's a good reason to give the S a blast each month.

get an airfield day - honestly the 1st tail slide you do will give you a brown pants moment... BUT ok people are saying how well these cars ' bite ' BUT its a rear wheel drive car with a shed load of power - of course it will! but its also smooth , easy to drive ( unless your in traffic... ) and as long as you respect your road conditions you will have a blast - nothings bets some top off action !

oh get that airfilter lid off

hi there craig
i took the middle box and resonator off and had a straight through stainless pipe made, it now sounds a lot better, not loud but more raspy, seems to pull better too, have fun.

JamieM I'd like to see a dyno sheet on that, considered this mod myself but wondered if if was worth the effort.
