www.SoundManCarAudio.com, http www.Twitter.com Part 3 of Doug Bernards’ iPad Tacoma build. In this video Doug’s amp gets sold and he decides to use an Audison LRX 5.1K which is a great match for the set-up. A Pair of Hybrid Audio Legatia 6′s are installed in the door panels along with plenty of Accumat (a very nice Dynamat alternative). A Quick look at the Bit One is seen, as Doug sets up the new amp. A simple curved amp rack is built and wrapped in vinyl. The iPad Tacoma was featured on KTLA 5, Kurt the CyberGuy, and one of CNN’s tech shows. stay tuned for part 4, final episode.
I was told I needed to replace at minimum – two CV axles, and two struts.
maximum – whole front suspension system – CV axles
It’s a 1996 Honda civic ex 5spd – 205k miles 1.6l vtec SOHC motor
I was suggested the Firestone Lifetime warranty for $160 to save on gas,tires, and alignment over the next three years. I am also getting break pads and the struts free, but was told I needed to pay for the ball joints and tie rod ends and cv axle.
He said the minimum can be done for $200.00,the latter for 550.00 give or take a 100.00, but labor would run me $500.00 for the minimum and the maximum would run me $1200.00 to $1500.00. Anyone have any review sites to help me learn about this purchase and see if I am making a good trade? Also my parents already put $500.00 into buying the car.
www.soundmancaraudio.com http www.twitter.com April 3rd, The day of the ipad launch, Doug Bernards installs an ipad in his car alongside an Audison Bit One processor. Planned install will include a mcintosh 6 channel amplifier MCC406M, and a special ipod dock which allows the digital signal to be pulled from the ipad and distributed to the bitone via optical output. Toyota Tacoma. Stay tuned for the rest of the build.
And what do you suggest is a good VALUE when buying one of these cars?
What’s the maximum mileage that a used car can have and still run well in your opinion?
And what questions should I ask the owner? What should I look for?
Thank you for your help.
