Optionally secure Subwoofer in trunk. I used (3) two-sided Velcro strips (8 x 2 inches) to secure the subwoofer to the carpet. I also added a 2-headed slide bolt running from a Screw-Eye (drilled into the Subwoofer case) to a hard-point bracket near the rear transom floor. I believe this bracket is used for straps to secure a sun-roof panel in the trunk. My car has no sun-roof. If you have a sun-roof you may need to use a different position, or securing method, for the Subwoofer. I added the slide-bolt solely to keep the Subwoofer from coming loose in a collision. The Velcro holds it securely in place otherwise. NOTE: I was actually motivated to install the slide-bolt in an attempt to pass tech inspections at local Autocross events. I did not want to remove the sub in order to compete. I passed just fine at PCA events. I haven't tried SCCA Solo II events yet with this setup. In my experience their inspectors usually frown on anything creative - especially so on Porsches or Corvettes!

So this is Terry the T-Rex one of the largest suits in my collection of animals. I’ve had him a few years but only just got around to fixing him up and wearing him. He was another rescue basket case costume which I came across by way of a person I knew that managed a council’s waste disposal site. He had been abandoned there and would have met his end if I had not recovered him.
When I went to collect him, he was sat out in the open on a pallet looking all sad and worse for wear. Instantly I knew I had buggered up he was huge and filled the entire back of my car. Once I stuffed him in, I set off home with my rather grotty foul smelling dinosaur looking out the back window at following motorists. Heck knows what they all thought of been eyed up by a T-Rex.
I named him project “the BRB” and I set to work on him the night I got him but soon lost interest as the more I dismantled him the more problems I found with him. He was extremely dirty every part of him had an issue some big some small. So, I just chucked him in my spare room and tried to forget about him. The years passed until now when I pulled him out and finally finished him.
He’s a custom-made T-rex suit build by Rainbow productions UK some time in the 2000s. So, when he was new, he must have cost a small fortune. Am not entirely sure what he was originally used for but it was not for energetic dancing in as he weighs a ton. But from the limited information I have on him it is rumored that he was used to promote the Nintendo DS game “Dinosaur King” as Terry the T-Rex. The only evidence I have of such use are a couple of scanned photos from somebody I got chatting with on twitter where they are posing with my T-Rex at a game’s tournament in London.
He is built like a tank his outer skin comprises of heavy fleece fabric air brushed with a stenciled pattern detail. Up is back there’s a heavy duty zipper but this is not for wearer entry it is there only to allow for the removal of the inner suit which gives him his bulk. This is a thick sponge foam body pod covered with airtex netting with rings internal for support. There are several cells filled with foam lumps on the hips and the tail is also stuffed with foam lumps. Entry into the suit is actually between the legs by way of a Velcro opening very much like barney the dinosaur. So, to put him on you have to stick him over your head and drop him over yourself before having a helper do up the Velcro.
When I got him, his inner suit was in a filthy condition the tail cell had failed so his tail was a droopy saggy thing some of the foam structure had torn and some of the seams of the netting had failed. The outer skin was ok but also very dirty and the Velcro that secured it around the neck had peeled off and needed sewing back on. His feet which at first, I thought where ok where a bodged mess all his claw tips needed replacing and the elastic cuff around the ankle had perished like wise for the cuff around the gloves. Now to the mask oh wow it was in a bad state the teeth where a bodged mess of card board and duct tape the mouth linings where gunked up with glue from the many attempts over the years to reglue the teeth and the foam view screening was torn and dry rotted it needed a rebuild.
To fix him I completely stripped down the inner body suit cleaned it refilled the cells with Asdas finest budget pillow filling. Glued and patched the tears in the foam and hand stitched all the seams I had to spit to dismantle it. The feet were given new hard resin claw tips and new elastics. The gloves elastics where also replaced. The outer skin was washed and the Velcro was resewn by hand around the neck. The mask was the biggest job as I pulled out the entire mouth linings and made new ones from thin MDF covered with black fleece. I re-covered the original teeth he had with new cream spandex gluing them back in with black hot melt glue. The linings where then glued back in and a new nylon mesh screen was fitted. He was finally complete.
Wearing him is like slipping into another world he’s very heavy but well balanced the arms have been designed to give you limited movement and are stumpy and short so you have got to adapt the silly short arms of a real T-rex. The vision is difficult and is obstructed by the teeth. Also due to the size of the mask you have a six-foot blind spot all around you where an adult person can stand and be invisible to you. The inside of the mask is cavernous and when you want to get out you need a helper to gently pull it all off you which is kind of been like been born again. But all in all it’s a rather fun suit to wear and clown around in. So after my original reluctance to fix him where I even just considered taking him back to where I found him am rather glad that I did carry on till the end as I can see him becoming some what of a show stopper costume and as you know kids frigging love dinosaurs so he’s going to bring a lot of smiles.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
