Last week I finished my rear conversion from 5x100 to 5x114
And this week I bought my friends touchscreen HU which I'm super excited about. The sound is 100% better than my old stereo and LOOKS better too

They're for a XV10 Camry (91-96). These have the same hub/bearing assembly as ours except in 5x114 bolt pattern. Also used the camry's rear brake discs!
I had a discussion about before I went through with it. CLICK HERE

Plasti dipped my wheels white... well two of em anyway wanted to see what they would look like.
Dunno if I'm going to keep em but if i do then I'll have to re dip the rear wheel because I had major runs in the paint
I'm a wanna-be-Rusty lol

Thanks
I figured out if you triple the tape horizontally in the center of the rear emblem it works perfect for the concavity of the trunk..
Note: I used 3m Extreme Exterior double sided tape and used an exacto to trim

Wow I must have been out of the loop for a long time, your car is coming along great. All you need is 4wd rav4 front hubs and Camry discs to complete what im too lazy to do. Keep on swimming!
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

Thanks Jon, means a lot!
Probably going to complete the conversion in February, tax season, mainly because I need to replace my driver-side CV Axle so I''ll do it all at once.

However found an old Toyota p/u with a 22r that had this:
A new old $2 oil cap
Also, got my new sub in:

Soon the box building will commence!

Alrighty, progress of the box and final product.
ports glued and screwed
my roomate thought it'd be fitting to have a written apology to the Lake Havasu PD inside the box
Test fit of the lid.
First layer of fiberglass resin
didn't take any pictures of the rest of the resin
Also bondo'd near edges and screws
Primed and near "babies bottom" smooth
After a nice white is laid and dry, the SUB and BOX meet for the first time.
Love at first sight LOL
And then the two take place in their final home.
Soon to be bass made in heaven
And all buttoned back up and proper,
So much for trunk space..
Box:
34" x 25" x 14"
Dual 3" Ports
Amp:
Autotek MM 1000.1D
1000w RMS
Sub:
RE Audio SXX 15"
Dual 2ohm VC
Wired parallel to 1ohm at 1000w RMS

Ahh, but of course! lol
anyway I guess its sort of an update, I wanted to see how long I could run the new system without upgrading the electrical.. about 2.5 days...
lol my car nearly lost all power going to work today, even though i turned the bass eq to -2 and volume offset to -3.
i have 0 gauge on it's way to upgrade the big 3. and will be adding a yellow top to the system in two weeks.
anyone have input on HO Alternators?? I'm tempted but dont want to run the risk if frying any wires with too much juice. Also I don't see the justice in shelling out for an auto GT's alternator for only 10 extra amps.
ebay offers a 160Amp HO alt. but not sure on quality

As long as the high output alt has a good voltage regulator you won't fry any electronics. Remember alt doesn't push power through electronics, all it does is keep the battery charged for all the electronics to drink from it.
When you start having dimming problems and such it's because the alternator can't keep up with the stuff on the car draining the battery. Our stock alts are very weak (manual celica I believe is 80 amps?)
160AMP alt is good enough for your system. You should look into Diehard Platinum and Sears AGM batteries. They're cheaper than the Optima and are just as good if not better. Compare Optima to Royal Purple.
