Default sub enclosure

I have been browsing this forum looking for tips and ideas for a side enclosure for my as yet unpurchased ti. I saw just the thing the other night, but cant for the life of me find it again. I wanted to look at the pic more closely and maybe mail the owner.

I am pretty sure it was in a blue car and was very flush to the side of the boot under left hand side shelf.

I have seen snr's boot but that wasnt it.

Anyone know who/ what i am trying to find?

I have found some excellent links to fibreglassing, so am well prepared.

Thanks in advance

Nige

Here's mine http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6920

I put £80 worth of fibreglass & about 20hrs into that. In retrospect I'd do what stormos suggests & just buy one of these http://www.autoacoustics.com/sbn-bmcomp.htm

thanks for the replies. i reckon the box i saw must have been a stealthbox. i have yet to see anything take up so little space.

Halek, your box looks fantastic. Much respect. 20hours labour is a long time. I had found the links to chris's tutorials and thought i would give it a go, not realising just how time consuming it would be.

I may however fashion up something to mount my amp and changer on the offside of the boot to match. At least i wont have to worry about fibreglassing the back of that.

Thanks again for your replies.

Did you know this forum got reviewed in this months bmw car magazine? Overall they were impressed, especially with the amount of technical info on the site. Well done ti . org.

HAve lost the character recogntion software for my scanner, so here is the typed in version:

The Concept

Billed as a website for 318ti enthusiasts, this is a forum dedicated to the UK’s most popular E36Compact.

The Content

Using a familiar forum layout, 318ti.org packs in all the usual sections that you’d expect from a good forum. The garage is a general section containing a lounge area for general discussion, a section for interesting ebay auctions, a buying section where you can get opinions on a 18ti you might be looking to buy, a racing discussion section as well as a music area. The technical area has separate sections for just about every aspect of the car, form wheel and tyre choice, to suspension through to maintenance and differential discussion. There are also tips on car care, regional forums and classifieds. There’s also a knowledgebase section, a gallery and a registry.

The Verdict

What’s most surprising is just how popular this website is – clearly the compact community is bigger than you’d have thought. What’s also surprising is how technical a lot of the forum is, with a number of hands-on guides in the knowledgebase. The site itself is easy to navigate and easy on the eye to boot, which is a plus if you’re into your compact; you’ll find plenty here to keep yourself entertained. If you just want a chat, the garage is for you but the technical section is packed full of great advice and is genuinely useful. The chances are, If you’ve got a 318ti based query, the guys and girls on here will have answered it at some stage. If you’re into your tuning, there’s masses of information here which will allow you to turn your humble compact into something a bit special. There’s also the ti companion which, when finished, should be a very comprehensive guide to the ti in all its forms, thought at the moment it’s disappointingly lacking in useful information. On the whole thought, what a great site this is- plenty of active users, a positively bustling community and a great place to go if a 318ti is your car of choice
