Thanks, definitely having fun doing a bunch of mini projects at once.

Having a problem getting power to the camera right now but did the screens this morning.

Aimgain kit, DSR Eyelids, Ruff Racing 279 HB rims, (Supercharger is in a thought bubble right now, trying to hold out hope for a bolt on turbo to come out)

Tires were General UHP since I already have 245/35/19 in the garage. Calipers are Supra TT

Project is still ongoing but here are a couple of update pics from this past Sat.

The Breakdown



Needed to build a brace to mount the amp against the rear wall of the trunk


Started to cloud up and drizzle outside but that is GSOUP in there getting the wiring done


OH JOY


While he's doing that, I needed to get behind the Nav and start wiring up the rear camera. No greater feeling that cutting a Nav wire on a car that's still under warranty

Nav was already converted to play DVD's so here's the before shot

And After (with Night Vision, haven't tested it in moonlight yet, still figuring out placement).


Ran out of the little sunlight there was pretty quickly so the next phase will be putting the car back together and not coming out with 'extra' bolts.

Here's two shots Cathafer took last month on the way back up to NY from the MD meet.

It's not that big, the LED's make it seem bigger than what it is.
Either removing the entire trunk keylock assembly or there will be a hole drilled next to license plate. Still up in the air right now.

26 more days till the NELOC cookout, come on out.

I have a camera in my keyhole and I can tell you right now there is no way yours will fit in that hole without being enlarged.

Lex, is the hole under the trunk bar the same size or is it larger under there?

I'm also giving thought to removing the trunk bar all together, installing the camera and then custom fitting the trunk bar around the camera.

But the heavy favorite (and least appealing) option is the take the drill bit (urgggh) to my trunk.

Put some more goodies on the gas guzzler.

$180 for a battery lol


I guess when I asked if these rims clear BBK they didn't realize how big the Supra TT's were.... After many mm's of shaving they are on without spacers. Longer studs are on the way


TTE lip and a fresh paint job to get rid of the 400 million rock chips


hmmmm now someone is selling a S/C kit for the 430, Just when I thought I was done for a while.....
