Forgot to document the subwoofer saga, so here it is. After nuking my old 10" Pioneer, I figured it was time to step things up to a 12". The slimline 10" box was perfect — tiny boot, shallow space, still lets me reach the spare. So another slimline box was non‑negotiable. Problem was,...

ECU swap time. I’ve upgraded to a Windows‑friendly Haltech Elite 550 — the baby of the Elite family, but easily powerful enough for this setup. The old MoTeC M4 wasn’t bad at all; it was a tough, expensive bit of gear back in the day. The previous owner reckoned it cost around $3K fully optioned. It...

Next up in my little list of projects is an amp upgrade and custom boot install. Upgrading the amp is one thing, putting it somewhere in the boot without sacrificing practicality is another. The original amplifier came with the car when I bought it in 2011. It had to go. 8DB09B75-2144-4AEC-8F06-28EC...

Agreed. All about sharing ideas and options for all in this community to take advantage of.

Way ahead of you twocan. I picked this issue up as well, and like you, not a fan of loose springs either. I persevered with these springs because I liked it’s progressive rate design and inherent ability to absorb small bumps smoothly. Through some trial and error I sorted out what spacers I needed ...

Nice upgrades and keep those updates coming in. Love seeing what others are doing with their rides.

Quite a list you have there. Keep posting updates, but if I can impart one takeaway from personal experience is that you complete one task at a time, especially the rewiring. Complete, test and validate each task in smaller sequences before moving on to your next task. Multiple tasks at the same tim...

I’m in here all the time. Wouldn’t mind a look at an updated parts list.

Installed a new front wiper washer motor to replace my leaky original unit. New original units don’t appear to exist anymore so I came across these readily available Rodeo units that can be made in a direct fit replacement. The overall size and shape are almost identical as are the connector pins. h...

Haha yeah I had a look down the length of the rail with a torch and looked clean as.

On Piazzas the original windscreen cowl consists of 2 lengths of thin rubber weather strips which are glued along the top edge of the cowl (or runs along the bottom of the windscreen). You can appreciate that over time the original factory rubber seal strips naturally perish, and become hard and bri...

Couldn’t stand looking at the paint and stone chips on the bumper lower spoiler lip anymore so I decided the front bar needed a freshen-up, especially the lower spoiler sections. The lower spoiler lip is practically impossible to remove from the main bumper assembly, maybe if you had a hoist. A tota...

Bit overdue for an update since starting this thread but better late than never hey. These days we have AI to do a fair amount of the grunt work in many facets of our daily lives. So with a bit of help from an AI render/design tool called Viscom, I have put together some AI concept renders from my o...

Thanks, not easy trying to de-clutter a Piazza engine bay. Giving it some pop has been a real challenge too.
