Evening all. Over the last few months, I have been considering fitting a CB radio kit to my Impreza.

Shaid (white Legacy) has kindly done some research and come up with this all you need kit:
http://www.thunderpole.co.uk/cb_radio_pack-starter.htm

I have spoke to management at thunderpole who are willing to let us have the kits with large magntic aerials for 80 delivered. The large aerials are usually a fiver more.

Whilst I appreciate 80 pounds is a lot of money, these kits will be invaluable during WMI convoys, track days, days out and Tunnel Runs.

Shaid who already as a CB kit installed in his car has kindly agreed to fit all kits we buy for free, which once again will save our club some money.

All we need is a cigarette lighter adapter (no more than 3pounds each) to enable use of he CB aswell as a spare socket for phone chargers/sat navs etc

Please show genuine interest here:

Thought Id add name to list so it shows support for the idea

 

BTTT

 

One thing guys... i object to my car being called a Legacy.

It is a Legacy GTB... which is better and faster than a mere Legacy...lol

Anyway now that i've cleared that bit up...

To start with there are a couple of things you need to consider.

1 - Do you want it permanently fixed into the car?

- For me this is fine as i only use my Legacy for show and meet stuff however if its a daily then remember these units aren't face off. You don't want some dumb thief thinking it's some expensive sat nav unit and then attempting to steal it.

- If you do want it permanent do you have a spare din slot?

- Will you be prepared to drill into interior plastics to install a mounting bracket?

2 - The aerial mount

On the thunderpole website there are many types of aerial mount however the one i would recommend is the 7 inch mag mount. I can't think of any other installation points on an Impreza and a small cotton cloth underneath it would be fine. Mine stayed put at over 150mph and round the ring. This does put the cost up by another £5 but its worth it.

For obvious reasons i won't be drilling into anyones interiors but i'm more than happy to stand by and point you in the right direction...

Here's a topic i started when i was looking for CB

http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index...97122&hl=radio

 

GTB it is lol

Can't wait to get one installed. Will be very handy and no doubt good fun on meets etc. And especially helpful for me as I always get lost, so now I will be able to radio for back up - I mean help lol.

 

I agree with Shaid, mag mounts are the best as you can just pop them off the roof. The one I have from Maplins (thunderpole btw) has a rubber bottom so it doesnt scratch the roof. I did have a cloth underneath but it looks messy and flaps all over the place. It will be good to have CBs on convoy as H (or anyone) can say whether we're popping off to the services or if someone is getting motor issues, we dont leave a man behind ! lol

 

Shaid, what does the GTB stand for lol

Right guys lets get the ball rolling. I have spoke to Thunderpole (what a geat surname LMAO) who are willing to do us the kit with the mag aerial (usually a fiver more) for 80 delivered ! If we get more than 5 people they may be able to do us a little more discount......

gents can I request that you paypal me the 80 asap as a gift via paypal so I can pay the company......b4dhk@hotmail.co.uk

(obviously if we end up getting them cheaper with 5 or more buyers, I will refund you the discount)

AndyP has mentioned getting one and Im still trying to twist a few more peoples arms

excuse my innocence, but can you use a cb whist driving, or is it classed as a phone, ie you have to stop to use it, most truckers I see, seem to use them on the move.

 

Take a look at this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3251725.stm

Towards the bottom of the page, I quote:

"Breaker, breaker... what about CB radio?
Curiously perhaps, two-way radio is not covered by the law, so it's not an offence to have a conversation while driving, using a hand-held CB radio microphone. Two-way radios that double up as mobiles will not be allowed, though."

 

Nice one H

They can still get you though, for not concentrating or something, technically you're not even meant to change radio station.

Black aerials for all

oh and.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l62UTsRQ6qY

 

last chance folks before the order goes in.............

 

True, if plod really want to get shirty they can however i've been speaking into my mic with plod next to me only to get a giggle off them. On last years Legacy tunnel run a few of us got pulled over for random checks by the anti terrorist police. They did not seem to care about the CB more about the camera that was mounted to the screen!

H - GTB is basically 'Bilstein' version of the twin turbo GT.

 

very last chance folks..............
