I was looking at advanti talons, but they were eight weeks on order and my front tyres were bald. I wish I'd got them, they looked so good.

As per my rant on the "What have you done to your car today" thread..

Well yesterday i bought new speakers to replace my rear stock Mazda speakers.. So today i installed new speakers, proved difficult because i had to re-solder everything and figure out appropriate wires. Installed speakers, sound WAY better.

Then i went to change my speaker amp, got a new one at cash converters to replace the loser 20WPC one that i had running (Came with the car). Because the amp came from cash converters it came with no plug, turned out the plug that was there is different to this amp, so now i have to source a plug. So i removed my seat for no reason.. At least its clean under there now, vacuumed it while i was there.

So anyone know where i can find a plug? Autobarn/supercheap dont sell them.. Wow are useless and nothing seemed to come up on ebay.

New amp is a Kenwood KAC-M846

pic of the plug? shops like Jaycar, Altronics or Farnell might be handy,

afterthought* you any good with a soldering iron? If so pull if apart and solder your own easy to find plug on, even just spade connectors. Might be the easiest/cheapest solution

All is well, figured out i could just bypass it by using RCA cables...

Random picture.. Attempted HDR imaging for the first time today.

Well today was just crap...

Got my struts, bushes and shocks replaced today as they were making a dodge noise... got it done under warranty WIN.. Also got a quote for springs, however its sitting much nicer now with the shocks. Come out, my tyre valve caps were gone, went back into mechanic and asked him if he had them "No"

So some low life scum has stolen my good tyre valve caps.. epically pissed off as they were the ones that come with my wheels. SO mad!

Then i went through maccas, turned a corner, full maccas cup full of coke went flying, floor now is cokey... Lovely

THEN some dip**** P plater decide it would be good to side swipe me. Car is fine thanks to my epic maneuvers he literally just tapped my front bumper, has a little scrape.. He kept driving like nothing happened. So that was my day, just needed to vent. More pissed off about my tyre valve caps than the scrape.

You know what they say, bad things come in threes.

I bought ford logo'd valve caps a few weeks ago, too scared to check if they're still on there, the cup holder in these things are really shallow, if its a soft drink cup i've learned to drink a quarter of it before setting off, frozen coke sits in there pretty well though, sucks about the scrape, think you put some touch up paint on it and give it a buff?

I might be able to get away with a good buff.. Just need to find the time!
