Very nice look man! You've even got JDM tails; didn't notice that 'til the second time around. Now you just need some springs and projectors!

Well, this was a little unexpected (Unless you've been talking to me in the chatroom or AIM)
Yesterday I took out all the back seats!
I like it.
And then today I went out and got a Boost/Vacuum guage.
That's not where it's going to sit forever, I'm going to buy a red bulb for it and a pod to sit in a better spot

...why the gauge?

On sale. Lol.
My friend has one and I've always liked it.
Although it doesn't do much, it gives it a neat look in my opinion.
Kinda like most of the mods I've done to my car

No, I disagree with that entirely. Your visual mods are just visual...but you don't have a turbo...so what is it measuring?
Your visual mods are purely visual, they don't really serve a function on our cars...but this is something that is supposed to be function-only...nawmean?

Maybe you haven't realized it, but that gauge doesn't look tasteful at all, especially in that spot. Just trying to steer you into a cleaner way of modding.

He said it's not permanent, obviously he's missing the cup/pod. Just an early post to share his excitement about getting his 1st aftermarket gauge. What a bummer OOBE.
PS. How's boosting (or suctioning
) going without the crap in the back?

Haha. It pulls a little harder. It can keep up with my friends VR6 with lots of mods that runs a 15.2. I haven't been down to the track, but we'll see
I'm debating pulling out the subs. For racing definitely, but I think today I might yank the box out and see if it makes a big difference.

Not feeling the boost gauge.

With our cars, I've noticed that every bit of weight reduction makes a noticeable difference. I can clearly notice the contrast in boost response and how the car pulls from a dead stop. Might be a placebo effect, but other cars I've ridden don't seem to feel different with less weight in the back.

Theres alot you can yank from the car without even changing the look or the functionality, I've taken out a medium dog worth.
It feels even better when your battery is mounted to the middle of the boot.

Ordered a few things...
And painted the bulbs for the gauges red with 'Radiant Fire' touch-up paint... Looks pretty good. I'll post pics when everything's done.

Not really feelin' this gauge direction you're suddenly taking...but good luck with it.

why not just save for the actual go fast bits and pieces (ie...turbo) so you actually have a reason to get gauges? you started off strong...careful
Or a suspension kit

Couldn't afford it.
Got this instead;
Yes, I know there's a few things wrong with these pictures.
I'm going to clean my car up real well tomorrow, I'm going to the Fairfield meet on Saturday.
Those wires will also be cleaned up and hidden. It was just a test to see if I did everything correctly.

Haven't updated this in a while. Hah.
Here's some of my progression!
I liked the look
Most interior lights are now red (looks less pink in real life lmao)
Digital Tach and shift light
Gauge pod and red bulbs
Switch to control cold cathodes
Hyper-White back up lights
Sprayed the rear Toyota emblem flat black (yes, I know, it needs some cleaning up)
Much lighter sub. A single 12" now instead of two 10"s. (The wiring is crap because I'm going to have to take it out when I go drag racing next weekend)
And last but definitely not least... SPARCOS!
Authentic Sparco brackets & sliders
I get to go racing in Sacramento on the 18th. Anyone wanna meet me there?

$15 from ebay. It's a universal one.
I wouldn't recommend getting one, though. They don't fit our cars very well. There's a huge gap in mine. I'd spend some extra $$ and get the one that the member here sells. I bought this to get a cheap way out, and I paid for it with it looking horrible.
