Just gotta save up now coz Iv been naughty.... just came back from Rally Finland, Got mags, new tyres and coilovers ouch.

Phatt are the bomb! They know their shit and they really do the work properly. Highly recommended

OP here again.

Ok, just took a deposit for my lib today so I really need to remove my finger. Unfortunately the 08 3.0 that I was going to go look at sold this arvo.
My next pick is an 08 Heritage and it also has a Mc.

My current audio in my MY03 RX is a JVC single DIN with the 6 factory speakers, no amp or sub, and 99.99% of the time I'm using USB stick plugged into the JVC.

So from what I've read if I go with a non-Mc car it's about $400 to replace the facia ?
I've tried some 2DINs and just haven't been that impressed, mostly with lag when browising USB folders.

Of course if I can find another 3.0 that's suitable.
Anyway, back to carsales.

Yea approx $400

If I planned to change just the HU and not do anything else would a Mc car be a better starting point due to its amp and extra speakers, compared to a non-Mc car ?
Interested because I'd be unlikely to add an amp to a non-Mc car when changing the HU, which is the case with my current MY03

Thanks
