:p Im too lazy to get started on it right now! :D Just got back from a SAT prep course. But i have a few things laid out on the to-do list today. Such as - Put a turbo on, change oil, retorque head studs. MAYBE mold prosports into stock cluster.
Should be interesting.

Why didn't you just make some 6.5 speaker mounts?

Because I had these 4" from my old car. And I love em! :p Plus what i noticed in my old car was that these didn't have much bass, I have a small woofer in the back of the supra now. So this should sound pretty good. :)

:) First off, heres what the speakers look like in the door.




I also installed my CD player from my old car. :)



Annddd then while I wired stereo, I decided I wanted the foglight mod done. :)



So heres the actual progress today, I wired up my prosport gauges. All of the wiring is ready for them, with the exception of the sensor wires for water temp and oil pressure.

Heres how I have them setup for day time (lights/markers off)


And heres how I have them setup for night time (lights/markers on)


And I also trimmed the Lotek A pillar gauge holder to fit the car perfectly. But I thought it was pointless to take a picture of it since we all already know what it looks like :p

No turbo today :( My friend didnt call me back so I didnt get it.

More updates tomorrow if time permits me to work on it. :D

Enjoy!

Update - Turbo on, turbo smokes. But its only temporary until i get my .57gt rebuild. :p
Thank you Got Boost for letting me use your turbo. I really wanted to get the soup back on the road. :)

Next problem - Turn signals dont work.. hmm What could cause that? Maybe i knocked a relay loose while doing foglights?

:D yeah! 57 trim should be fun. :)

Update - Turn signals work, was the hazard lights not being plugged in, took me all of 5 minutes to figure that one out. :p

My dad wont let me drive it everyday because the school messed up with getting me my recent progress report [great.. i know] So yeah this is awesome.
