Hello, I am "General". The proud `leader´ of a bunch of idiots from Holland with a strange hobby called car-audio. I have a small garage box called "The Bunker" where we build SQ, SPL and dBdrag installations for competition use... and demo cars. It´s not our job... just our freakin´ hobby. I would like to show you our latest project: See the presentation on YouTube: [video=youtube;-F4CtBalKvY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F4CtBalKvY[/video] I'll post the pics here soon. (somehow this forum doesn't allow them?)
we allow pics here. do you have a photo sharing account? i use photobucket for my pics. BTW welcome to our lil site. hope to see your pics soon.
Hello again, I couldn't find this forum again after my last attempt to post my showcase here. But now i am back Here are my promised pics and vids: (enjoy) Project 601 "Der Trabi" (...a.k.a. the East-German cheap-ass vehicle parked behind 'the wall' during the 'cold war') ; The car that we used as base for this redicule project: A '73 Trabant 601 Kombi! Engine specs: 600cc 2-stroke with 23 bhp!!! Like i mentioned before, something redicule in this thread. Do i still have your attention? Great... let's start with this project. (Let the pictures do the speaking)
As you can see, the Trabi didn't become a race monster but got rebuild to audio demonstration car.

4 Sept 2010: Der Trabi has won the Dutch National Championship title 'SQ MultiMedia Advanced' !!!! And also the title 'Best Show Car 2010' !!! Unfortunately we had a little technical problem during the ESPL championship, therefor we became 3th in the Dutch finals. Nevertheless a great season with great scores! 27 Sept 2010 More news, We became 3th in EMMA's SQ MultiMedia Master One class during the European Finals at Ahoy, Rotterdam We didn't compete in ESPL because we were allready doing loads of demo's in AudioVillage for Audio-System. New footage of the Trabi at 100%tuning 2010, Rotterdam, The Netherlands: [video=youtube;2ojhsg_d3jc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ojhsg_d3jc[/video] And some more pics:
Here are some vidz: Look the reinforced dashboard flexing! (the song is NOT editted, chopped or screwed) [video=youtube;jpk2hBlpyb4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpk2hBlpyb4[/video] Doing some demo at a local festival: [video=youtube;CL5CexNuhig]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL5CexNuhig&NR=1[/video] Do you hear the 23bhp (two stroke) "big engine" screaming? (notice the hight of the car from low camera view) [video=youtube;2ojhsg_d3jc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ojhsg_d3jc[/video] Talking about that 2-stroke engine... Here is some footage of the first start attempt in two year! (the car was stored under a sheet for 2 years till we found some time to build the install) [video=youtube;f_3FFomke9s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_3FFomke9s[/video] *kuch kuch*
New pics from deBunkerAudio (on tour)with PropperDroppers SPL competition at AutoMaxx Summer-Edition 2011:
Oh, forgot the latest update: Modified the rear axle and suspension because the extra added weight of the audio. Some cracks appeared in the metalof the rear wishbones. We had to weld them back up, and made it it much stronger. Furthermore we had to mount some rubber bumpstops between the rear springs. Result: Not that much camber anymore, but more stability and quality. [video=youtube;e13oB8APTGM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e13oB8APTGM[/video] A brand new pic and a short vid: Ready for a holliday trip! A photo is soooo boring... That's why i have also shot a video! [video=youtube;fWErGuAs9EA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWErGuAs9EA[/video]
I really like your two friends. By the way, thats awesome. I really appreciate the step by step pictures.
what a fantastic install. you guys did a wonderful job. i really like that little car. with all that added weight tho how fast does it get up to now? im sure it wasn't a quick car to begin with lol.
Thank you guys! It has a two stroke engine with just 23bhp but it reaches speed of 70mph. But... with all the added weight it is very scary to drive faster then 40mph and it takes ages to reach this speed. You might understand i don't drive this car on a daily basis any more. All for show and no go!
