Car Audio Plans

So I started working at car audio of my car. First problem - right doors (both) are not working when it comes to speakers. Front have damaged speaker, rear are not giving any voltage at all. So plan is to fix issues with power and change speakers in all doors. Speakers behind rear seats will stay as they are working very nicely. I'm looking forward Blaupunkt CX170 set with tweeters and speakers for front door and Blaupunkt TL130 for the rear door. However I will have to first take all the measures needed to make sure that they will fit and of course make sure that I will be able to get right spacers. I want also to use thickier cables for them and soundproof all 4 doors. So that's from plans, let's see what action will bring. And below a photo of rear speaker which looks rather small:

Aaaaand they came!

No I haven't mean girls that were last night at my home...Joke, there were no girls last night at my home, they were last weekend...nevermind.  I mean something better. I mean...black leather door panels for my car of course!

Here is how they look like, 98% complete, I need just two rubber insterts for front door handles and that's it. It was worthy of waiting for them:

I really like them, they are in very good state, restof parts that yo can't see are hidden. I didn't pull them out to not loose any. Anyway, very nice Easter haha. Wooden panels will become silver as I will paint them like the rest of the interior details.Beside it some cleaning and we will install them. So that's about side door panels! Ohh and it seems like exhaust system will be next, as I have bought them so funds aren't allowing me to change whole exhaust system and go to dyno before, plus I decided to finish car audio as I will be putting new door panels so in the same time I will put some new stuff about which I will tell you in the next post when I will get a bit more info. That's it for now, have an awesome Easter!!! :) 

Waiting...

So there is not much going on actually...I'm still waiting for my door panels, it is almost 3rd week and I must say...I am getting a bit nervous. Hopefully this guy from forum whom who I bought them, seems to be trusted person, so I hope it will go well. Today I talked to him on FB and asked what's going on, he said he simply didn't have time to send everything. For 1,5 week I was very friendly when talking with him, yet now I've got a bit more serious, as I'm left without money and without door panels... I really hope that in the next post, I will post photos of them laying in my house. Wish me luck... ;) And stay tuned for more. See you !

Changing plans.

In last post I was talking about taking my car to dyno so I will check out power. Well...plans changed. Plans changed because I got real deal and I bought black leather door trims with black plastics, which I needed for interior of my car to make it more complete. However, that means I will be able to sell whole old interior of my car and have money for dyno, conservation of bottom of car (full, with exhaust taken off) and of course, custom exhaust. So that's just short post, informing you how eveyrthing is going. As soon as possible I will post photos of unboxing package with door trims so stay tuned!

Update about soonest future.

So finally i found some time and did some research about dynos near me. After asking on forum and talking with my mate, I decided to choose dyno that lays at the border of my city and Lodz. They have dyno 4x4 DynoProject 4WD DP4L that can measure up to 1300+hp and 1000+Nm. Also price seems quite friendly, so now it is matter of time to go there and check out what power and torque my car has. I will post scan from dyno here and on Facebook Fanpage. Also, on Aristos Garage you will find a video from testing my car on dyno, so stay tuned for more! 

Finding a dyno.

Opel Omega B OPC is ready to be dyno'ed already, so it is high time to find a nice one with good price as I'm still student. So to not make you think that I'm dead or something, just this short post to remind you :D Right now, my Opel is covered in a snow, on summer tires and I guess it's first drive will be to dyno. So...let's hope there won't be much snow as I don't have winter or all year round tires for a change. I also want to avoid salt on roads. So just a short post today, I'm going now to start seriously looking for a right dyno near me ;) See you soon!

How I regenerated engine of my car without parting it apart.

So here is long waited episode of my Aristos Garage show about regenerating engine without need of parting it apart. All extra info that you need to do this process you will find on blog post to which I've put link in the description of this video.

This is it. Now I'm sure my car's engine is protected and is running well. I am also glad that I've done it before snow and very low temperatures came. Next step is preparing it for dyno and...going to dyno of course :) About preparations of cars to dyno, I want to make different episode of Aristos Garage when I will have a car with forced induction, so it will be for everyone as you will simply skip steps for forced induction cars if you have naturally aspirated engine. For sure I will take videos from dyno and then we will know how much power X30XE makes and how much is lacking, or not, or how much more than stock it has already. Wish me at least those 208hp/211PS because I don't feel like modyfing this engine a lot ;) 

That's it for now! See you in next post and don't forget to subscribe to my Aristos Garage channel for more automotive videos!
