Rb30det was a factory based motor using a modified rb20det head.... Lol.

Okay so i couldn't deal with having no music, thats a big part of my life. So i got a Pioneer double dinn headunit, The same one i used in my missus Subaru install, except no blue tooth. Just so i can connect some speakers up and listen to some beats while i go to work etc.
My end sound system plans are: Full Boot install
- 2 or 3 10" Subs running at 2 ohms, off monoblock
- 4 x 6.5" Splits all round, off 4 channel amp at 2 ohms
- Duel battery maybe, running 2 awg cable

So for now here is testing out the fitting of a double din.. i had to cut some stuff, as plans are to put a VL DASH in when i put the RB30/25 in, The center consol and headunit area will be custom fibreglassed by myself :) Heres how it is so far mocking up
