Update
Finally Got a working iPhone interface for my old Alpine H/U that actually charges it lol. Loving the fact it works though!
Just Got to wire in an Alpine 4 way amp i now have to power my front and rear speakers but as long as it's this cold that can wait! Don't think it will be done this side of ace tbth but gives me something to look forward to doing.
Had some snow and went out in it to test tyres no drama whatsoever am starting to be a little impressed with these bits of rubber now. For the price they are More then Alot.
Also decided i want to change my interior to another design of half leather but no rush for that either

Amp wired in very happy. Whole set sounds improved can't wait to show it off and it's all old school lol
Rolling road day was fun now got a baseline to work up from. Only issue was it was a proper mission need to find a dyno closer to home

Update with Pic
That's the dyno graph from rolling road day. Have to admit was disappointed but turns out i had a boost leak from the boost gauge fittings and i was over fuelling rottenly.
Even like that still got over stock figures so wasn't a complete waste of time
After putting in the amp had a rattle from the rear shelf which i have now resolved with draught excluder tape lol. As i'm using the stock stealth shelf it's so much more prone to rattles but where there is a will there is a way!
Looking forward to ace so i can show off!!!!

Not a bad result least it wasn't under standard power and you have something to work on for more power.

Sam was a good day well done for organising it and hope to see you at Ace on the 18th
That's what i was thinking J and to be fair getting a result like that made me check the car over to find out the boost leak and they told me i had too much fuel as it was black out the back lol. And i still made above stock even with them issues!
BTW we need to organise either a mini meet or you coming Ace J!

Update
Went to Kris B's on Tuesday's and got a result! Been so super jarred with the stealth shelf no matter how I modded it it would have an annoying rattle so when i turn up at Kris's there was a phase 1 shelf! Asked nicely and was able to swap for my stealth so swapped out my speakers and swapped them over. Loving it no fricking rattle anymore
Also a tow bar got thrown away for a 306 so was able to have that too! so all in all not a bad day
Waiting for some bits to arrive and then another update will follow!

Is that an alpine 9855R. Ive got the same one, absolutely brilliant piece of kit, the time correction and independant crossover control is magic. Your whole ICE set up looks very neat bud

Long Overdue Update
What with the arrival of Jacob my little man been a while since i've done anything to the car apart from drive it.
Was gonna sell it and get a 406 HDi coupe but that has less seats then my 306 lol.
So on with my project. Back box fell off lol but had a stainless steel one from Dum-Dum so got that on and my chair frame snapped but got that welded up.
Still to put on my defender alarm and got to change how my stereo connects to iPhone so i can have handsfree calling. also wanna put the proper size tyres on and stop being cheap with 195/50.
Apart from that is driving well and want to gov mod but scared to do it myself lol

Just over a year on from the D-Tub getting sold on to my mate Paddy it is falling in to my hands, laquer peel is still present but what has appeared since his ownership is a large scuff mark presumably from a speeding van close to his office in Woodford. Pics tomorrow when I get it to my work where tinkering shall ensue. Unfortunately the Focals haven't been put to their full potential but all I'm saying now is 80PRS

Right box sounds lovely just missing 5th, have heard of the snap ring holding 5th to the shaft coming off so one day after work I will be popping the end cover off to inspect it and see if indeed it has popped off the clip or its completely fubar. I couldn't be arsed with pics so I shot a couple of videos one of a startup after being sat for a few hours but I did run it to move the car from under the bridge next to the workshop and another of a quick walk around. Anyway enough talking s**t here is what I'm dealing with.
