In the years i was competing i was always working on the car for making it better and better.Evry minit I got I spend on the car..

there was always the presure of performing beter . When i began on this project i make the decision ,to make something beautiful en having fun and now presure.I NOT going to compete whit this car..Not whit the speakers on the A pillar, and not with the plexy sub box.

Writing this is not so simple for me.I understand, and speak english but that's everything.i can't write englisch i am translating my words with the help off a translation program.It's not so simple for me to tell everthing in detail. But i hope you will understand.I realy hope to get some comments good or bad.everybody had his opinion about car stereo.

This is the car.

There is still some adaption work.

 

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01977.jpg

This will be the Sub-box.

 

The piece I wanted to cover in Carbonkevlar, I painted black, to be sure the layer underneath won't show.

Here a picture of the bottomside, where he made wholes , to let the sound flow outside.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00348.jpg

Still some more polyester work to do.

Did some preparation to stretch the cloth nicely.

[Invité §rob674AK]

The wholes you can see in the alu, don't worry about it.

It'll be covered in CF..

The next thing on the list is something very difficult.

The connections of the speakers he'll make in copper, of 5mm thickness.

Cables are so boring

 

some cupper

5mm thickness, more didn't fit in the speaker.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00372.jpg

 

 

Copper connections are ready.

 

made a model first, took a mold, and fold it the same way.

Sawed it all, rubbed it, and polished.

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00378.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00379.jpg

 

On this picture you can see he putt a whole in the bottomside to connect the cables.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00380.jpg

 

The cupper wil go to the middle, so I made a alu plated where the bars fitt right on in.

started to make the bottomplate. She will be around the BOX and rest on the chassis of the car. did it as good as possible. Leveled it with waterleveler.

Once this plate is right, you take the messurements always from this plate, so it has to be 100% correcT.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02128_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02137_resize.jpg

Started to make a hinge. He went to see the store, but they didn't had what he needed. So got some aluminium ..

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02177_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02201_resize.jpg

 

 

The meaning of this hinge, is that the amplifier can go up. So the crowbar needed to be something nice.

Cause the crowbar wil be very shot/small, he made it strong enought. (15mm thickness)

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02171_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02173_resize.jpg

there are nicer things in life to do, but when it's finished, it was worth the work in his eyes.

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02181_resize.jpg

 

Against the alu tube, he's going to weld a piece to, where he can hook the amp on.

Then I started to tair apart the Alpine CD player.

Did away the front, and made some trolleys to fasten the thing.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02174_resize.jpg

here you can see the front of the CD player

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02198_resize.jpg

 

 

The ALU- box where the amp should come is foreseen with the hinge.

This one, he screwed on. I going to try it'l go this way.

If not, he can always weld it on...

I doesn't want to try it now, cause he's afraid it all bend of the heat.

But it's a final option...

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02241_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02243_resize.jpg

 

Will look like......

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02245_resize.jpg

put some movement in the amp.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02295_resize.jpg

Made a fiberglass plate.

Here will be some change soon, but you have to start somewhere.

 

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00877_resize.jpg

 

found some vents that you can take from each other.

These are from aluminium, but the frame they're in, goes in the bin.

There will be an -minor modded- version of it

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC00934_resize.jpg

 

2 pieces to place in the vents, so the cooling on the amp will be better.

Here's a picture from the front. You can see a V where everythings slides into.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01263_resize.jpg

Then he fiberglassed a little alu piece that is fastened bigtime.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01270_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01268_resize.jpg

In the whole those things are layed into, fiberglassed a firm alu bridge, and there the backside slides into.

I made a grill, to cover the sub-box.

The frame es milled out of MDF wood.

Here you can see the top of the upper ring. This one, you will see, and will be covered in Carbon

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01083_resize.jpg

On the picture, you can see he miled a little ditch.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01179_resize.jpg

This will be the inner-ring, what goes in the grill.

First I mild a MDF wooden ring and rounded the edges. What you see now is the upperside. Comes in CF btw

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01304_resize.jpg

this is the bottomside. You see I made some screwbusses in it.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01312_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01318_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01314_resize.jpg

 

 

Made an alu ring of 3mm thick for on the bottomside. Must be very solid so the grill can't bend in the middle.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01326_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01320_resize.jpg

 

 

Here you see the 2 parts on each other. Between there's 2mm place for the innox plate on the outside, and the alu from in the centre.

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01324_resize.jpg

 

The middle ring going into Carbon Fibre. Need some more layers of epoxy though..

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01414_resize.jpg

 

Started to begin polishing. Is a heck of a job, people who polished with heavy machinery before know...

It's kinda hard to do this without the brushes hacking into the alu..

 

I did this:

Screw the piece on a piece of wood that you can hold on tight.

1) you won't burn ya fingers/hands on the alu

2) the brush can't bite himself into sth

As you can see, the whoel sub part is see-able and yet, it's covered with real glass I can clean as much as he wants, without making scratches.

The nice thing about this grille, is that I made it with a simple milling tool. This is the proof everyone can make something really nice, with non-expensive equipment.

The grill is almost complete. for now, no Focal Logo's anymore

althought...

The next work on the list is for next days, maybe weeks.

The actuator, that bringt the amplifier to life, will get a nice place.

For those who forgot, this is how the motor was placed.

This was only to see if the thing worked like I wanted.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01373_resize.jpg

The meaning is, if you take the left carbon piece away, you see the motor and the cd-changer. If I wanted to show this, it must be made SHOWABLE

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01336_resize.jpg

Then, I put the actuartor on a alu plate of 4mm thick.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01373_resize.jpg

 

The fiberglassed part where the motor will be put on tight, is as good as ready.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01462_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01466_resize.jpg

 

I sprayed this black. Those who read all thread, now what that means .

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01470_resize.jpg

 

 

This will be the alu plated where the motor will locked on.

As you can see, I made 4 big wholes in it. Under these, put a carbonkevlar plate. The look will be a little bit better I think.

Also you can see I made a alu piece with M5 screws. Here will be a "bar" in connection with the amp.

 

I took everything on a trip to polish-land.

 

The fiberglass part that comes under the motor, is already covered in a layer of carbon... needs some more epoxy.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01475_resize.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01478_resize.jpg

 

 

Not simple to cover it in carbon, but it worked.

Couple of layers of epoxy are needed, and then rubb the whole piece, while working on the sides..

 

Damn, this piece looks great, but you're not going to see much of it .

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01494_resize.jpg

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01491_resize.jpg

 

The CF piece, to put the motor on is ready... I did some long long long rubbing, but it was worth the effort.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01535_resize.jpg

[Invité §rob674AK]

This is how the motor is beeing placed; You can see I put an little alu cover over the bar from the motor, not easy to find...

 

This is the same material as where the engine is screwed on.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01543_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01548_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01546_resize.jpg

Made an extra piece of carbonkevlar to fill in the big wholes on the bottom of the motor.

A little more contrast with the CF.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01540_resize.jpg

The picture is taken when you're standing right behing the trunk. Now you can see it all.

Now the big question is, WHY THE HECK make such a big piece of CF, but i wanted to be sure that EVERYTHING looks perfect, from what ever angle you look.

 

Again with the neon.

This will come under the right vent, just for looks.

On the leftside we have the CF piece where the motor is at, so it looks more the same on the right side went you look through the vents.

I'ts time to rebuild the doorpanels.

The doorpanels i using are secondhanded. So the car remains complete, and I doesn't have to drive without panels all winter.

Demounted some stuff.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02253_resize.jpg

 

Started taking off the leather. awefull job

 

The 16cm FOCAL speaker is taking approximately the same place where the original speak is.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02256_resize.jpg

In the meanwhile , I let the rings mild nicely.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02254_resize.jpg

 

 

I milded some MDF wooden rings to tighten on the doorpanel.

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02314_resize.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02319_resize.jpg

 

To lock the speakers tight I made a extra alu plate of 6mm thick.

Here I can use the screws that came with the FOCALS. These are special screws that click-in the grill.

 

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02322_resize.jpg

 

This is an seperate little cap that goes on top. This model will be editted more.

This will come nice when it's finished.

Designerdepartment going at full speed

Worked on the ring where the speaker goes in, more smooth now.

Here a couple of pics of the original doorpanel, to compare more easy.

And this is what it's going to be. The door, on the speaker, gained 2cm more to the inside of the car. This is what I had to do to get the speaker in there in a good way.

The seperate polyester cap, that goes over the speaker, will come in silver, like the trim.

This will contrast with the rest.

Picture with the grill.

If I look at this all, I think it doesn't contrast to much with the lines, shape of the original panel.

 

Has to be rubbed and finished some more.

On the backside of the panel, maybe there will come a little light, that shines when the door is opened. Partially to fill up the big piece.

 

In the meanwhile I made a whole into the doors platework, behind the speaker.

You can see the windowglider. Just nog touching the speaker.

Made some more parts, to fill up the other wholes.

On the background, there's a alu plate of 4mm thick. Very hard and strong.

In the middle you can see 2 Carbonkevlar parts. I made em as thin als possible .

On the foreground you see 4 little rings I made, to screw the doorpanel extra tight.

 

If you look to the second on the right, there's a little rubber he pasted on. On the place where he screwed it. This to prevent resonance.

On the picture you see a little pole picking out. That's MEGA IMPORTANT.

Behind the speaker, there'll be another screw, so we can attach it even more in the middle.

Everything mounted:

This won't be the end of the door. I has to make some tiny wholes airtight, but that won't go untill the has all the material to fill up the sound.

All I makes, will be filled up with this material. What exactly I going to use, he's not sure. we'ill keep u informed.

 

As you can see, I putting a lot of work into all this. And more work is coming up so the sound won't be lost...

 

I think this is a type of work, that is underestimated be many people. But the work will pay of in the end, that's what we are sure of...

As you can see, het got the disc in there again. Disced a ditch in there so I gots some place to get the overflowingin leather away.

 

The alu and the pole I got on there so it all stays equal when it gets overlayed.

you see, the plates can be rattled off.

as you guys can see, the bottom part is already painted black, you all know what happens then...

 

indeed, CARBON TIME

The bottomsides of the doorpanels will have to be done in CARBON FIBRE.

 

So a dificcult object to get in the Carbon fibre. But we must admit, it's done nicely..

Many time was put into preparation the prevent the CF - overlay to got wrong at any place.

This annoying little side was one of the many things that could go wrong.

Also, I was satisfied to get the little lamp in there. makes the piece a bit more interesting then one big lumb piece.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC02743_resize.jpg

 

This is the ditch I disced into the panel. For those who don't get the picture. When it's all done, the upperside of the panel will be overlayed in leather. Then I needs a little space the get rid of the too much leather.

To get a nicer finishing off

 

You see on this pic that everything at the bottom is in CF..

Now the big work is to get it all nice and flat. Put some more layers of epoxy on there till it's all nice and smooth.

so, lots of work and patience...

 

 

[Invité §rob674AK]

This is the 3th layer of epoxy.

Rubb it all down flat and equal everywhere, and then another 4th layer of epoxy.

Some pics

A couple of years ago, my wife was making ( read: painting) christmasballes, to hang in the christmastree. She also hooked on making special things

 

When i looked at the plexy balls, i know, that sometime, i could use it for another project Well, ladies and gents, IT'S TIME

These are the plexy balls, you can buy 'm in every size. (according to his wife)..

Then I made a hole in the bigget bal, so the little one stands a bit 'in' it

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/DSC01993_resize.jpg

On this pic you can see the ball with the speaker, stands a bit further away. I did this on purpose.
