    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Where did you run the boost wire through the firewall. I used a grommet that was over by the master cylinder if I remember correctly.

    DM HID kit Vs Truck-lite LED

    $360 each for the JW speaker light on Amazon makes the truck-lites look like a bargain.

    DM HID kit Vs Truck-lite LED

    Rewiring the fogs is straightforward. Just requires some work in the left kick panel. The high beam indicator light won't work as well, and that requires some relays added to the headlight circuit. I have to agree though, that the LED solution is the only one that makes sense. The HIDs are a...

    Smog not Passing.

    True, but interestingly California's now the "global center for the future of personal mobility. Other automotive powerhouses with Silicon Valley offices include Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and automotive suppliers Continental, Delphi and Denso."

    Let's see your setup

    I also installed a Nissan Murano Bose spare tire subwoofer. In order to make this fit, I had to invert the spare tire, which required a minor adjustment to the spare tire mounting flange in order for it to fit into the spare tire hub to allow the tire to lay flat. I also had to buy a 130 mm...

    Let's see your setup

    Backup camera installed. I used a very compact AOSILEY Camera with 170 Degree Wide Angle FOV. Ordered from Amazon and installed into the top of the center taillight recess for the license plate. The camera came with the required hole saw which was nice and I used a right angle drill adapter...

    Let's see your setup

    My feelings exactly until I ran Pioneer's autoEQ with the mic at the driver's headrest. Finally it sounded decent. It seems the time-alignment helps a lot. I've added the Nissan subwoofer with a Kenwood KAC-M3001 amp which is also very small 5-11/16 X 1-3/4 X 3-7/8 in and has the same total...

    USB panel mount

    For connections up to 10 Amps I have been using these cheap connectors that you can find on Ebay. They seem to work well. You will need a crimp tool to assemble. There handy for adding connectors to custom audio and accessory installations.

    What is the best way of fixing this bent elbow pipe?

    Ebay is full of aluminum pipe sales with different diameters and bends. Just search for "aluminum turbo pipe" or "aluminum intercooler pipe"

    Let's see your setup

    I was prepared to be unhappy with the HU internal amp so I wired the preamp outs into the factory harness for the under-seat amp. But, I was amazed at the performance of the HU internal amp. Once I ran the auto-equalizer with the mic placed at the drivers seat headrest to set the frequency and...

    Let's see your setup

    Installed a Pioneer AVIC 6100NEX with CarPlay, Nav, and rear-view cam. A lot of wires to make it all work. I've run the wiring for the backup cam and subwoofer, but the camera and sub will be installed in Phase 2. Took me a week of working on it in the evenings to get this all done. So many...

    USB panel mount

    This is what I have for now. There is an AUX video-in jack on the left, and two USBs on the right. One is for CarPlay, and the other I have a 128GB flash drive plugged in for media storage. If the location is too clumsy, I'll consider moving them either to the lighter location or near the TEMS...

    USB panel mount

    That's a nice idea, but its just a power jack, as far as I can tell. You can't plug that into a head unit.

    USB panel mount

    Thanks Reynald. I like your solution, but I already put them in the armrest before I saw it. I also returned the 7100NEX and got the 6100NEX. It fits in the stock bezel without any cutting. The 7100 requires an opening that is basically the entire double-din area (100mm x180mm).

    How to obtain at most 300 Wheel Horse Power

    If quietness and a stock looking dual tip is your objective then this is the exhaust to get. It is a straight through design so its as free flowing as any 75mm cat back. It is not as quiet as stock, you will notice it at 2500 rpm under load but not under light throttle cruising. The only...

    How to obtain at most 300 Wheel Horse Power

    A couple of us have the LET-T16s. It is a quiet free flowing exhaust that adds noticeable power over stock. Only downside is its steel, so it won't hold up if you drive in cold winters. I've had mine 5 years but I live in Cali.
