Wow - overkill or what?

Here you can post things about ICE (In Car Entertainment). Like how to install GPS navigation, a DVD-player and other yuppie-stuff. This category might be moved to "those other things" in the end...

Damn, thats :shock:

I like what he's got under the bonnet though (could be just a F7P, but if it's a F7R engine than it's quite fast :P)

Yes, it has. Probably taken off eBay before bidding ended. Interest wasn't strong, to say the least.
Intriguing conversion with that F16i engine and mega ICE system, but not a car for the faint of heart, I guess.
Less is often more.

Wonder how it copes with all the rattles, my poxy 10" sub can't go to high as every bit of plastic on the car feels like it's about to fall off! Hopefully he's done it properly and matted the whole car. Looks the dog's if you didn't have the awful paint job and put some decent Volvo wheels on it, who needs rear seats anyway!

The artist - three 6 mafia. The track - late night tip. The result - a continuous dropping bass line that is guaranteed to find all the rattles in your car!

It is a classic bass track along with the likes of Iceman J's basshead ("its the quad and i'm a basshead :D ).

If you are a true basshead, you will know what i'm talking about :)
