View Full Version : Dargs's Install -WIP
Dargs 08-01-2007, 06:35 PM Here we go again lol, Got most of it on another site so can copy and paste it over ;D
........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so the design...only have a few simple ideas in my head, want to try and make it all standard looking though, nothing too fancy and in your face, going down the OMP stealth look, which should fit the euro theme im going for well *fingers crossed*
So yeah.. the basic plan...1x 12" sub, 1x mono amp, 1x 2 channel amp, 1x set of components, 1x PS2, 1x screen and any other things i might come up with over the next few months...
il update the thread everytime i do something new or worth mentioning about, it wont be fast moving unfortunatly but it should make a good read on those boring and cold winter nights
Will start off the story in the next thread......ENJOY :)
The back seats are out so theres plenty of room to play with..(picture - your use imagination)
The sub box will be similar to this one
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/XXXBOX.jpg
Thats in a 205 so you get an idea of the size
....
Will be putting a flase floor in and using that as a base. Havent really decided on how the amps will be going in yet.
....
Componenets will be housed in custom door builds and pillar builds.. undecided on finish yet.
....
Screen will be housed in the centre console, replacing the 2 vents and the heater switchs which will be re-located.
....
Undecided where the PS2 will be mounted yet, more than likely in the front passenger side area though.
....
Heres some work i started earlier on in the year before i got the quiky.
Spare Centre console and tray

Sorry dude might have got it wrong just always remember this crazy spl comp pug 106, had a stoopid system inside, could flip coins inches off the roof, used to bounce th sunroof outa the seals... Always thought it was called the juggernaut but that may have been the make of subs. Im going back a few years was around 1999 - 2000 i think, maybe earlier. Will have to ask my mate hes probably still got the feature. Was mental anyway, saw it once in town, was also on hydraulics!!! Was bloody crazy any how

They will be diffrent, there front door cards which im modifying to fit in the rear ;)
Jonnyh 15-01-2007, 08:08 PM Coming on nicely mate! Do like the idea of front door cards in the rear should look good!

Sounds really solid when you knock the rear quater from the outside now ;D
Next update on monday when i get the speakers :)
Fuzzy Orange 23-01-2007, 09:19 PM Looks good
The only bit I dont get is the front cards in the back??

Dargs 23-01-2007, 09:26 PM Cheers lads ;)
The only bit I dont get is the front cards in the back??
They've got handle holes and stuff in them
Its diffrent and unique and the whole lines of the car should flow inside :P If they turn out crap.. il scrap them ;D
Holes will be sorted out ;)
Tuscan 24-01-2007, 09:11 PM Guessing Dargs has someinthg unique to fill the gaps. It will be an excellent job no doubt. Its all about creating your own ideas 8)

Dargs 29-01-2007, 08:09 PM Thanks for the comments ;D
well excited about getting them fired up, need to start on the door builds soon... the list of jobs is starting to get abit long :-\
if your genuinely interested about the price pm me as id rather not put it up on the forum, lets just say they were enough :D

There going to sound amazing!

driver side progress - tried to get the top sorted so its flush etc, couldnt think of a way to do it how i said i wanted it further up in the thread so i went for this option instead, might change it though, we'll see :D ..(note its not fully finished yet, looks unevenish becuase of the corners not being done)

Was going to start on the pillar and door builds but it was raining so couldnt be arsed to mess about lining them up etc in the rain, so decided to do some more work on the screen build :)
spent from 1.30-10.45 on it with a couple of breaks...overall a successful and painful day!
... heres the pics ;) ...

Good work chap

Fibreglassed the mount panel for the screen onto the dash tonight, there was going to be pics but my fones being gay and wont connect up to the comp so il do a double update tommorow night!
Norledge 13-02-2007, 10:07 PM As i've said elsewhere mate coming along :D
Top workmanship from what i've seen too :)
Rallye James 13-02-2007, 10:08 PM calm down dear its only an install :D ;D
Haha! I was going to say exactly that earlier! :D
Progress looks good, only problem I can see is what heat will the fan be constantly at? If its hot it will boil you in summer, if its cold it will freeze you in the winter. Could you not hook the heat setting up to a knob on the other blank?
And WTF is with that nail! :o
Damn right, if that nail ever slipped through the bog roll you'd be in pain mate. :(
Jimbo 13-02-2007, 10:12 PM Damn right, if that nail ever slipped through the bog roll you'd be in pain mate. :(
LMFAO! Nice thought :-\
Norledge 13-02-2007, 10:12 PM Damn right, if that nail ever slipped through the bog roll you'd be in pain mate. :(
You wipe with your thumb!?
Sometimes.
It feels nicer?

Just needs a final sanding down and just getting rid of a few minor imperfections, plastic then needs prepping for spraying.

James 15-02-2007, 09:10 PM looks amazing mate!!! real or imitation?
Dargs 15-02-2007, 09:14 PM Cheers dude, just imitation lol, think it will go well with the dash though, grains probly wouldnt be as big with real?
Norledge 15-02-2007, 09:16 PM Woah... That looks like t came out of the factory like that :p
Tuscan 15-02-2007, 09:19 PM Good idea mate looks spot on. Natural grain is finer.
Is it going to be fully trimmed/stuck on.
In the 2nd pic i can see under the edges, but im guessing ur just holding it on
Dargs 15-02-2007, 09:24 PM Woah... That looks like t came out of the factory like that :p
Just what i wanted to hear :D
Cheers nath, nah just sitting on there, plastic needs spraying etc before triiming it for real, but yes it will be fully stuck on, edges need sanding back abit still so it will all look level.
Dargs 15-02-2007, 09:46 PM test
Tuscan 15-02-2007, 09:54 PM Good lad. Lookin forward to seeing it, i hardly looked at your car at the Mids meet lol

Dargs 25-02-2007, 09:57 PM U P D A T E
Usually sunday is car wash today but the weathers been crap so thought id do some more work on the install!
Decided to get cracking on the A pillar builds for the tweeters.
First up was to get the positioning of the tweeter cups, believe or not this took ages ..Mainly due to them needing to be ear height and aiming towards the centre point of the car...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207A.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207E.jpg
but after messing around for a while moving them mm at a time they were finally ready to glue to the pillars! The firing of both meet in the centre of the passenger and driver around nose point (just before the ears) so should sound pretty fookin sweeeet
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207N.jpg
Anyways.. got them both glued up with a glue gun!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207O.jpg
Then i needed to find some donor material to stretch over, so after rummaging around i found an old climacool tshirt which i thought would do the job perfect
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207M.jpg
Time to stretch it over....(this took fu*king ages! )
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207L.jpg
All done! So far so good!

Dargs 25-02-2007, 09:58 PM http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207Q.jpg
and then another coat for extra strength.. and hey presto all done

While it was drying i also prepped the dash bits ready for primer,paint etc
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/250207P.jpg
Another update tommorow when the other pillar should be done and the drivers pillar should be fillered and smoothed!
pugginquik 25-02-2007, 10:23 PM Looking good fella, this blog makes me miss uni :(
i cant wait to see the completed install, even better HEAR IT :D
Dan C 25-02-2007, 10:29 PM That looks mint. You make fiberglassing look so easy. I want to play around with some one day. Fancy making a tutorial lol
Dargs 25-02-2007, 10:32 PM Cheers dude
I cant wait to hear/finish it either! lmao
Picking the amp up in a couple of weeks so hopefully have the front end running in a month or so :D
Dargs 25-02-2007, 10:34 PM That looks mint. You make fiberglassing look so easy. I want to play around with some one day. Fancy making a tutorial lol
Cheers Dan.
The pillars only need the resin and hardner, i havent used any fibreglass :p
Only used fibreglass on the screen which was easy as it was only a small area.... big areas are a mother fooka! Had experience with it with my last install aswell so kinda know a couple of tricks to using it ;) ..the main 1 being not too mix up loads of resin and hardner at at a time!!
Dan C 25-02-2007, 10:50 PM i fancy making something to hold a screen infront of the ash tray, like blend up from the centre console thing on the floor where that big tray is. Which way would you go about that?
Dargs 25-02-2007, 10:58 PM Same way really, wooden frame then some sort of wooden sides and trim it, could use fibreglass but it wouldnt be the easiest of things. Ud have to cut the centre console tray up aswell to hold your frame in etc..
Dan C 25-02-2007, 10:59 PM Yeah im going to get one from a scrappy an try it on that ! cheers.
good luck with the rest of yours
Dargs 26-02-2007, 09:45 PM Update..
Managed to get to the stage i wanted today, got alot of sanding coming up though! Oh the joys :rolleyes:
Heres how the day went..
Passenger pillar all done, and holes cut out
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207A.jpg
Went out and got myself a nice big tub of P38, and then the filling began (first time ive done it so ignore the uneven/silly amounts)... i am learning from my mistakes tho !!
Drivers pillar
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207B.jpg
Both pillars
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207E.jpg
Sanding down the drivers pillar
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207D.jpg
And how i finished off the night..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207F.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Dargs/Quiky%20BQ%20ICE/260207C.jpg
As i said still lots of sanding to do and more filling etc, hopefully have them done for the end of the week. Glad i did the pillars first though instead of the door pods as ive now got a better idea of how to tackle the doors and what to do and what not to do
James 26-02-2007, 10:09 PM looking very good mate :D mine are now finished ;) lol and trimmed
Tuscan 26-02-2007, 10:13 PM Wikid mate! Iv always wondered how people actually make the creative shapes? How did you make that pod thing? lol
Dargs 26-02-2007, 10:16 PM looking very good mate :D mine are now finished ;) lol and trimmed
Cheers mate....Lucky buggar! ive had a enough of sanding! pmsl
Wikid mate! Iv always wondered how people actually make the creative shapes? How did you make that pod thing? lol
Cheers nath, have a look at the previous page bro, the pics speak a 1000 words ;)
pugginquik 27-02-2007, 12:20 AM p38 is a best friend... when applied sparingly lol. Looking really good fella hope your wearing that mask :p
plush-automotive 27-02-2007, 11:52 AM looking good, you had enough of sanding try doing it every day lol. also wana watch out it doesnt warp
t_m_evans 27-02-2007, 04:20 PM i dont know what finish you going for on thous, but looks like they is a few indents! if your covering with fabric dont worry!
if your painting you will need to spary a coat of paint over the top of it then rub it donw till you only see black bits where it is low. then refil rub down paint in a different colour and do the process again! this assumes you have used black as the first paint coat!
should always rub with a block aswell to make sure everything is even! all depends on the finish your looking for! you can do this about 3 or 4 time each time witha different 'tracer coat' to allow you to work out how far the problem is!
looking forward to the results!
Dargs 27-02-2007, 05:54 PM Cheers guys
Nah there getting trimmed up.
kimmy 28-02-2007, 03:26 PM OMG that looks so good, got me thinking about my spare screen and the playstation i have now. maybe i should do somehing wit them as they are not selling.
i would have to pay for mine to be done though, deffinatly couldnt do it my self. and i would imagen it would be in the thousands!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
Dargs 28-02-2007, 06:11 PM Cheers Dan and Kim :D
hey Kimmy..might be intrested in the other screen if you decide to put it up for sale again, wont need it for a couple of months though..
hartmj 28-02-2007, 07:01 PM Dargs, that looks the dogs swingers mate!! love ur thread i think im addicted :D

Dargs 05-03-2007, 10:06 PM Cheers dudes ;)
UPDATE
Progressed quite alot today, manged to get the door builds underway, although i did throw all my toys out the pram for about 2 hours trying to stretch the material over this afternoon, neither to say a jd & coke well deserved tonight lol.
The A pillars pretty much just need smoothing to get a good finish ready for trimming.
Heres the progress pics of the door builds anyway..
Attacked the passenger door first, took awhile to get the right position and get it all glued together but got there in the end..

Also decided to trim up the B pillars to get rid of the seatbelt holes, such a subtle mod but looks real good imo..its the small touches that count :P ..edges just need tweaking a bit.

Dargs 05-03-2007, 10:31 PM very true mate very true!
ive got some material im gunna have a bash with, failing that il be chucking them massesy way lol :D
hartmj 05-03-2007, 10:42 PM lol yea best to give em to an expert if we cant do em :p what i did on my last ones, the testers- back in the summer, was because i ended up wiv a massive crease on the curved bit around the speaker, i made a cut below the speaker and jointed it underneath where it coulnt be seen. It looked quite good tbh!
Matt
plush-automotive 06-03-2007, 07:02 AM Yup I'd sort them out in a couple of days if your struggling mate, nice baffles lol i forgot i did them for you ha ha. Can't wait to see the amp in dude. Kepp it up mate.

Dargs 12-03-2007, 10:13 PM Only a small update this week due to having to sort out the exhaust/bodywork situation, pics show the progress :)
Fillered the door pods to get rid of a few tiny dips and to blend in where the fabric ended and then gave them a test fit the weekend...

Thanks Dan
Cheers Dan, i used an old clima cool tshirt to stretch over, pretty much the same as football shirt material. Anything thats stretchy will do the job really :)

Thanks Dan
Dargs 13-03-2007, 10:18 PM Got the drivers pod built up tonight, didnt lose my temper this time haha :D
Set a completion date for the front end for the end of april, fingers x'd il hit it!
great thread Dargs, had fun looking at all the progress!
only issue that comes to mind is driving a stripped car with an install?
how do you plan to keep the install in place with no rear seats holding it all back?
and also does it notr defeat the purpose of stripping (for weight saving) to then add all teh weight back on with box's and sound deadning?
not trying to be negative or picky just wondering what your aim was
Dargs 13-03-2007, 10:39 PM Cheers Tony :cool:
A false floor will be to fit exactly where it should and then il probly make some brackets or something to hold it down, there hsouldnt be too much movement anyways.
A large install has always been on the cards since way back from when i owned my last 106, but when i got the quiky i got shot of all my old gear and decided to start from scratch, but didnt have the money because of getting the suspension, alloys etc sorted so decided i would have fun driving it around stripped for a few months. Now ive had my fun racing it around its time for fun in a diffrent way :D
Not to bothered about performance as you can see anyways with not having an induction kit and not getting an exhaus until it was neccesary. Planning to just start with a GTi next year and make that a pocket rocket ;)
Plan for the quiky this year is to go chase a few audio heads, and hopefully hit around 140db!
sounds like you have it all planned :)
keep up all the pics i fair enjoy looking at it all :D
Tuscan 14-03-2007, 09:11 PM Awesome progress!
Dargs 19-03-2007, 08:06 PM Been making the templates for the false floors today, can go out and get the wood sometime soon now

cheers Dan
Dargs 26-03-2007, 09:10 PM Ta lads :D
Dan, its just some Autoleads glue, only good on small things really, and the material is just fake leather, vinyl type stuff
They look amazing dude! :D Not a bad idea was it ;) :D
Aye, wicked idea mate ;)
Dan_lee 26-03-2007, 09:19 PM Thanks Dude :D

how you going to open your doors?
Dargs you are a genius, keep this up mate an there must be an award for best amateur install, you never considered doing this for a living????
NikkiGTi 28-03-2007, 11:19 AM They look awesome Dargs!! :D
Dargs 28-03-2007, 05:15 PM Ta guys n girls ;)
how you going to open your doors?
Its not a 5 door :p
you never considered doing this for a living????
Was going to rent a small unit out as it was going for a good price back last summer but then the current owners took the lease out for another 3 years so couldnt get it, Could be on the cards for the future though, money just doesnt allow for it at the moment anyways, can only just afford to do my own car lol :D
haha i thought they where going in the front :)
Dargs 28-03-2007, 05:23 PM nope back matey :D
did think it would be pretty kool in the front , too much work though lol
djrem 02-04-2007, 09:53 AM youve inspired me to go fiber glass on the front door cards.
I salute you :)
Dargs 11-04-2007, 05:46 PM lol :)
Havent updated for a while due not really doing a lot, a pillers a ready for trimming, the door pods still need abit of work, and the centre console is being sprayed this week.
Been working on the ps2 glovebox build today and its pretty near finished, just a couple more adjustments to do. The gap at the side is for the fan ventilation.

Not sure how long it will last with vibrations etc, but we'll see. if it breaks then im just gunna forget the idea and get a dvd/cd headunit. Dont look too bad in the flesh anyways and ive still got storage space underneath :)
plush-automotive 12-04-2007, 07:09 AM looks good mate but will all the power cables etc fi neatly. i think you should make some kind of cover panel mate looks a bit chucked in.
Dargs 12-04-2007, 09:53 AM Yeah i thought that too mate, not sure how to go about it yet lol
power cables plug staright in as ive cut all the glovebox apart, the finished pics will show it when its all done
Dargs 13-04-2007, 11:23 PM UPDATE

hartmj 14-04-2007, 04:37 PM mmmm not sure about the ps2 mate, like luke says looks a bit chucked in....cant wait to see some more pics tho....

Just need to wire it all up and trim the screen panel and its done wohooo
Looking very good there mate. Another car I can't wait to see!
I agree with you about the ps2, now that the glove box is trimmed it doesn't look like it is just "shoved" in there.
Rallye James 15-04-2007, 06:14 PM I love the black centre console! :D Makes it look really classy and upmarket, if you know what I mean ;)
PS2 is cool too, GT4 in the car :D
Dan_lee 15-04-2007, 08:53 PM That looks realy gd dude
Fuzzy Orange 15-04-2007, 09:20 PM Absolutely awesome - and you've done all the work yourself
You must be over the moon
Defo ditch the cover cos the glovebox without the cover looks porn!
We're gonna have to have a mids meet when this is done and get you and jonny there :)
Dargs 15-04-2007, 09:26 PM Cheers guys good to see positive comments, had a real succesful day :D
Deffo agree with you there fuzzy, cover looks abit tacky, really wasnt sure at first when i first fitted it but its come out really good now.
Looking forward to getting some pictures with jonnys at some point in the summer :)
That center console looks AMAZING mate.
mate you are a genious, i carnt wait to see the car in the flesh
hartmj 15-04-2007, 10:32 PM agreed mate lose the cover, looks much beta than before!

R191 CVC 18-04-2007, 09:52 AM I cant get over the quality of your work mate, youd be stupid not to do this on the side or as a main job,.. if you enjoy it aswell,.. its a bonus.
Amazing, cant wait for more updates and to see it finished
Jimbo 18-04-2007, 11:08 AM Dan, the work you've put into the car is truly amazing mate.
You should be proud of what you've done. :)
Keep up the good work.
Dargs 07-05-2007, 06:15 PM Cheers for the comments :D
Well i havent updated for a while, mainly due to not doing alot!
Ive now got 1 pillar trimmed, plan to do the other 1 on wednesday.
The passenger footwell floor is also nearly done, just need to get the perspex, make some support for underneath and trim it up.
Heres a couple of pics of the pillar anyway, turned out pretty good!

Dan_lee 07-05-2007, 07:34 PM I hav just bin trying 2 trim mine pillas and i am nt havin much luck lol. what sort of glue do you use dargs is it evostick imact cause i think thats the sort i need 2 get cause mine glue is crap anyway that looks arwsom
Dargs 07-05-2007, 07:41 PM Ta lads.
Dan I used evostick timebond. Its not the easiest job to say the least lol, took me a couple of hours to do that, you have to stretch it A LOT aswell.
Jonnyh 07-05-2007, 07:46 PM Looking good mate, keep up the hard work :D
Dan_lee 07-05-2007, 07:47 PM Ye i no what you mean cause you gotta stretch it and then hold 4 a bit so the glue grabs il get some of that cheers dude ;)
Dargs 09-05-2007, 05:55 PM Cheers Jonny :D
Another update..
Trimmed up the other pillar today and decided to trim the screen panel up aswell.
Only got 1 pic when i was trimming the pillar just shows the strecth you have to get though on the last bit!

Rallye James 09-05-2007, 06:17 PM Looking sweet, real upmarket look :D
Dargs im stunned.
It looks like its just rolled out of the factory like that mate!
Dargs that looks sweeeeet!
Fancy doing me one? :p
hugh_106 09-05-2007, 09:17 PM How do you attach the material (both the stuff you stiffen with resin and the surface material) to the pillars? Can you just use a t-shirt to put the resin on?
Dargs 09-05-2007, 09:44 PM Cheers for the comments lads
Hugh, first material layer is strecthed over tight and pinned behind, A t-shirt could be used, all depends how much stretch you need i suppose. Finish material is stuck on using evostick timebond..just glue
Marcs 09-05-2007, 09:49 PM Looking really nice:)
Loving the time and effort going in:)
Daniel S 09-05-2007, 10:40 PM awesome
pugginquik 10-05-2007, 08:21 PM intense mate, hope youre over the fooking moon mate. top job :)
ZestDeux 10-05-2007, 09:09 PM dargs your car is fucking sweet
them a pillars and dash look so professional :)
looking at this thread is giving me inspriration to just completely strip my car and start fresh lol
but seriously its looking amazing ;)
ps. amp floor is the tits :D
hugh_106 11-05-2007, 05:05 PM You know the resin, where can you get it from? saw some in a garage today but it was together with sheets of fibreglass. Is it the same stuff or is the resin you use another type? Do you need hardener with it to mix together or does it come straight out of the tin? Any brands I should look out for??
Dargs 11-05-2007, 05:38 PM Cheers guys!
Hugh - I just used the resin they sell at halfrauds, and yes you need the hardner aswell. Mix them together and then slap it on
mikey_b 11-05-2007, 05:39 PM when you doing my install then dargs?
Dargs 14-05-2007, 09:01 PM no comment lol.
UPDATE
Finished off the passenger pod today, end result turned out pretty good! Thought it would be easier than a pillar but it was harder :( Got there in the end though! Just 1 pod to go now wayheey.
Passenger footwell floor is also ready for perspex/trimming now, had carpet turn up today but the colour match aint good enough so im gunna order some charcoal coloured tonight! No pics unfortunatly but will get some soon.
heres the pod anyway..
