Overkill. System is worth twice as much as the actual car lol. interesting that it's a 6 speed.

Was he a member on the old forum?

Perfect for those who want 8 inches aimed at their crotch.

I'm going to dig up GTOX's GIF.

WTF are you on about WIll?

anyway, he managed to fit 10" subs in the door...when I was there (He runs a workshop) the car sounded terrible (far worse than my $3k jaycar system) he was working on my car for a while however he kept on stuffing things up....over tightening bolts so they were threaded, leaving the radiator cap off, not tightening up clamps...

That's just fucking dumb. What a waste of a 3000GT.

it's always parked outside the mechanics right next to the first BP just below the M2 junction on Pennant hills.

Hahaha, I should have said 10inches aimed at your crotch then. I was talking about the sub in the doors - pretty much sitting on your lap. :)

Actually there was only 115 3000GT officially sold in Australia and in 1992 they cost AUD$90,000. How they were so much less in the USA I don't understand.

becouse we get screwed on imported cars due to trying to keep the local pieces of shit alive...we also have so few people compared to the USDM that we get screwed on local competition too.

imagine how many would have sold if they'd been $45k.

yeahh, it's why the cheapest GTO currently for sale is a ~$14k Auto non-turbo :p

That guy fucked my car. Lovely old guy, but no idea when it comes to cars. (Mitsu's anyways)

Mike - you're right. He blasted his system for me and I was like, that sounds shithouse! Mind you, his music choice was the Bee Gees so I was a little weirded out before he cranked it. lol

I can't say for sure, but I do know when I pulled the case after the first failure and saw no oil in the cawse and a smashed up bearing, there was problem number one, and now looking at putting the gearbox back on the car we found that crack from over tightening, there's problem number 2. And atleast 5 threads are ratshit and need to be helicoiled so there's 3 bits of sweet work I've needed to fix. Oh, and there was the over tightening of the oil filler in the GB that had to be repaired and helicoiled so yeah, outstanding shop that one. I'm trying to remember who recommended Harry to me in the first place......... lol :p

effort would have been much better spent fabbing the factory rears to fit 10's.

holy SHIT! 45,000ono yeah right. i reckon i can guarantee a million times better sound system can be bought and installed for 35,000$ or less, and something that would actually suit the car. poor, car.

any1 wanna donate 35k for me to prove my point??? :p
