97 Musashi Celica - Build LOG-, DualCarPCs, Touchscreen Speedo, XBOX360, One of a Kind Options

[Kamakaze]

Hey everyone. Im known as Jay Kamakaze I started JM Exclusive tricking out cars and my lab rat of a 97 Celica ST has taken so much beating from me with tons of installs ive done to learn fabrication and custom installs. Ive installed, removed, installed, removed. Ive even posted previous installs on this site. Now Ive reached as place where Im comfortable with my fabrication and my skills to do one complete build. The car is near finished already but i chose 6GC to start my build log of everything i did and how i got there.

This log includes sooo much custom (even down to the wiring), I guarantee this is a one of a kind Celica.

Some highlights I will get to:

-Dual CarPCs
-RFID Keyless Ignition (my own design, don't bother asking for diagram)
-Modded XBOX360
-PC Controlled Lighting
-Touchscreen Speedo
-Centerconsole Build
-Dashboard Build
-Trunk build

Ok so now on to the new stuff..... now before i did say that i wanted to save some old of the features i did like....

For one, I made the fiberglass foundation for it right next to the
rollover vent, I glued a LARGE 4-5” PC Fan that points directly to the
vent and out the car through the rear bumper (didn’t want to lose
that, worked amazing for keeping the XBOX ventilated and cool even in
hot summers).







I also had a see thru DVD drive that I made myself out
of plexiglass, that was hard as hell to get right the first time so I
didnt want to lose that.



The idea of modding my xbox for disc-less play also came to mind, but
thought it would be a lot of work/testing. If I wanted to do that, I
can choose to mod it later after the car is done. I probably changed
ideas on the enclosure 4-5 times so im not even gonna bore you with
the ones that didn’t make the cut. Definitely wanted the guts shown,
wanted to keep the PC Fan and had to be easily removable.

So I came up with this enclosure and the plexiglass window can slide
out for easy unscrewing, then a cover piece to install/remove the
whole thing.












The xbox itself is a Regular xbox motherboard with Elite heatsinks on
the CPU and GPU. I added a purple LED fan to the top of the heatsinks
to aid the stock exhaust fans with cooling and air flow direction
towards the Rollover vent fan. I soldered wires to extend for a
pushbutton switch to turn on/eject the XBOX discs and extended both
cables to the disc drive to put the disc drive up front where I can
actually reach it.
