There's a description of that in the profile thread for Lisa's bb1, linked in my footer...

I should get the speakers fitted tomorrow - i will just take the kenwood ones out of the BB4

Ive also got a couple of cd changers so need to look at where i can fit that.

Also need to track down a couple of outer cv joints (abs type) and an under bonnet seal strip and thats about it

Neither is a major issue right now but the lude is very nearly completed

DSP is up an running with all 9 speakers working fine

Ive also tested the OEM cd changer and that all works. It fits perfectly into the centre arm rest console - still got to secure it in place and route the lead that goes to the dsp and the jobs a good un

so after all that ive got a spare dsp unit and gathers cd changer...@ @wurlycorner

Only issues are both outer cv joints need replaced as there is a fair bit of chatter at full lock but only when pulling away or parking - other wise they are ok and spot on at higher speeds.

The new front brakes have bedded in just fine although the pads took a while to settle in but thats probably due to the cold and wet weather as much as anything else.

New front and rear number plates fitted-for some reason this was a right hassle but its done

Next up will be to take the winter wheels off and look a suitable replacement
so keeping an eye out for a good set of 205/55/15's or 205/50/16's
still rating the bridgestone potenzas highly and thinking of getting a set of them on the OEM 15's or blinging it up with the PIAA split rims in 16's

Swap you for a couple of cv joints?

Maybe... Don't know what I have by way of driveshafts off the top of my head - I would need to check...

No genuinely don't know

the ba8 didn't have abs, so that's no good and I can't remember what the ones off the phantom grey bb1 were like... I have a pair of auto shafts somewhere I think... and I think the outer joints those are the same? If so, could be in luck

joints are the same and the non abs vs abs thing is only a matter of swapping the ring over
