Tornado 05 GTI Red Rocket

I just get bored too quickly, once I've washed it and dried it, I barely have the enthusiasm to get the polish out!

Long time since the last update.
Since I got the car I had been debating whether to put the Pioneer double din head unit in.
I decided to go ahead as was fed up of burning CD's.
I ran a switched live from one of the spare fuses, which works a treat and I routed the ipod lead from the back of the HU to the drivers side glovebox (iPod lives in there and doesn't get touched until it gets taken out for updates).
Fits in nicely and have got the colours to match up quite well.
More updates soon, headlight restoration and new wiper stalk as mine has just failed!

You're a very hands on dude doing all that servicing yourself :congrats: , any power upgrades coming?
-Elliot-:
Im a race mechanic so I have always done the work myself :smiley:
Nothing major on the power side I dont think, maybe an exhaust as the standard one is giving up anyway and probably a remap as that gave good gains for the money on my old car.
If anyone has that head unit, you will have noticed that I have relocated the USB port to the rear so that no wires are visible in the cockpit. If anyone is interested in the mod then I could throw a guide together.

I'm thinking of swapping my Kenwood for an Alpine, what are they like in terms of ease of use and sound quality? I remember when I was 18 if you didn't have an Alpine or Pioneer head unit you weren't cool.
