this will be the thread that il post the progress of my 96' celica as it comes along.

here is some pics of the car as it was in march-2010




when i got the car, the dash lights were burnt out, soo i fixed it.


then i went to cleaning the inside. (previous owner left it horrific..)



while i was doing that, i decided to de-badge the rear
right after i took them off (un-cleaned)


and after i cleaned it up




i think this would be a nice spot for the now "homeless" badges
(please excuse the dirty carpet in the trunk, when i vacuumed, it wasn't in the car)

So I went to urban tanks today which is a car audio shop where I live, and I had the guy look at my subs. Within 20 seconds he had them pounding. So I was like wtf did you do?? he said he just reversed the polarity on one of my subs. (I, like a moron, hooked up the wires backwards when i put them in the celica ) so we were talking about "how to make the most of what you have" and he showed me different kinds of boxes, and was explaining how vented boxes can make you subs that much better. so i asked how much it would be for one, and he said 100. so i said i want it. he installs the subs in it and puts it in the car, i turn it on and WOW! it was a significant difference! all that with a 760 watt amp pushing 2 12 inch subs!
old box. my cat is huge.

new box, and my tools sitting in the bottom right. thats right, some people ony carry a few. I CARRY THEM ALL! lol
