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

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?

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. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

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. -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you

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. -------------------- Mike W

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. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(
