After I did some mods to my carburator keihin cvk, I heard strange noise under my sit. I figured out that my ATV needs more air. I tried to drive without airbox cover and motor runned much better.

With limited space I couldn’t just change intake tube, so I drilled 2 25mm holes.

Around holes I put some hot glue, so water can’t go directlly in airbox.

Wrapped airbox cover with nylon socks, so dust and stones can’t be sucked directlly in airbox.

This is how it looks in the end. There are much better acceleration and power.

After drilling holes you must adjust carburator with mixture screw!!!

I bought autocom cdp clone. Should be one of best versions. But I couldn’t upgrade it to newer firmware, so I decided to open it.

I almost fall on my back. So fu**kd pcb board!!! But you won’t believe that device actually works. I guess I will spend some time solder it :S

I replaced rear speakers and installed amplifier and woofer in my toyota. Sound was awesome. Then some day I was tired of sound from front speakes. Stock speakers are shit!

So I bought new hertz speakers. They weight and look like all speakers should.

I removed door panel. You have to unscrew 2 screws. Than you just pull it off on the bottom and go up the panel. Make sure you do it carefully! Its simple, I love that in Corolla. Simple and usefull.

Then I saw rubish stock speaker. I cutted wiress and soldered new faston connectors.

It was time to drill.

Make sure you’ll remove all junk from doors, cause I don’t like strange voices in my doors 😉

You can compare 2 speakers. I would give award to toyota, cause I can’t understand how such a speaker can provide so much noise 😀 RUBISH!!

I could mount them directlly to door, but I wanted more space for better sound. I needed speaker spacer rings. I don’t like plastic ones, cause I spent more time to modify them, then if I make new from wood.

Dimensions are  180mm outside, 140mm inside and 19 mm. I also painted them.

Then I had to drill new holes in door panel. This is tricky job, especially because original hole is big, approx 155 mm.

Then I mounted speakers and forgot to take picture 🙂 But it is not done yet. I also removed stock tweeters, cause they are rubish. And they are connected paralel on speakers. So if you’ll removed them you won’t hear anything! But if you’ll leave them as they are you won’t get such a clear sound.

So I shorted this pins on tweeter connector ( i didn’t want to cut wires, so I can install stock speakers if I’ll sell the car). And make sure you won’t connect back your stock tweeters! You can damage your headunit!

Then I tested and later installed door panel. It fits perfectlly, without any modifications.

You are probablly noticed that I hate cars stock audio 😀

It’s never boring in my garage. Water and dust, not good combination for metal parts. I had to replace bearings and dust seals on friend’s atv.

You have to dissmantle rear axle, remove brakes, remove chain.  Then remove rust from metal parts and then istall bearing carefully.

I also drilled hole and add this grease fitting. That means that you can add grease when ever you want.
