my old friend Mike from Santo's Toy Shop (STS) stopped by today and brought over his RHD '72 Celica. The Celica is a staple of my neighborhood and if you didn't have one of those as a first car, you had a Datsun 510. I truly have love for these cars as my first were also Toyota Celicas (had a 75 and a 74). The difference back then though was i didn't have any money to do it RIGHT. This is how it looks when you are grown folks and you can actually do everything they way it is supposed to be done! Everything here was done right all the way to the custom but STILL classic wheels. He had the faces removed and re-barreled onto a 15" wheel rather than the stock 13 (iirc). So sick! His website is http://www.santostoyshop.com if you want to see what else he has up his sleeve.

if anyone wants to see a video of him whipping a few out in the street, just hit the like button and i will do it. This thing sounds MEAN!! Amazing car, i love it!

guys, this site is supposed to be a friendly place to hang out. Everyone isn't always going to get along, some people are way overly sensitive.... but for real, some of you are straight up assholes towards each other. This IS NOT the place. Go to some other shit forum where the admins and mods don't care but don't do it here. I am getting tired of reading the most terrible posts and for what? for nothing. I am just going to ban any and all who think this is a place to start some shit with the next man. I will also personally go into your settings and block you from being able to see whoevers post you have a problem with. I have instructed my admins to do the same thing. 1. I don't care if you are a friend of mine. I will ban you. I have before and i will do it again. 2. I don't care if i game with you. I will ban you. 3. I don't care if you don't like me going into your settings and adjusting it accordingly. Stay off the radar and nobody will EVER touch your profile. I am sure i have more "numbers" to add but this is the basics of it. Stop the bullshit arguing, it's old and it's for those other forums, not this one. thanks.

thank u steve , its been alot of work with alot of help from friends , also builders like u , i watch a little of everything , thanks for throwing this up on the site , 1st time posting long time watching and learning ...........................................like 20yrs + before all this site stuff lol

That is sick looking! A mass amount of 6.5" subwoofers say what! really wish I could get a demo, really wouldn't know what to expect, lol

Picked up a package today 270A 6 phase hairpin powder coated blue to match the Tahoe, and I'm itching to put it in. But that will be a project for tomorrow. Got a little dog tag shaped keychain And everything in the box (no severed head...) I've got a couple hours before the sun goes down. I've got a horrendous headache, but I'm going to work on gap filling the pods where they sit in the door panel (thanks mark CAF for the helpful videos). Tomorrow I'll pull the stock alt and belt, put on the new alt and shorter belt and crank 'er up. Ordering the soundqubed pro audios here in a minute too. I'll try to get pictures as I work on it this weekend Edit: also, SoundQubed is sending my 90x4 back this weekend, hopefully be here next week, and here shortly I'll have tunes in my ride again. Then it's on to box building and sound deadening (as funds are available of course).

Havent posted in a bit so these are some pics of where I'm at on the box! 2 Coats of Resin snaded smooth, heavy coat of filler primer block sanded smooth, one more coat of filler primer then wet sanded! Ready for paint now! If all goes well it should have some paint sprayed on it this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything but the subs has changed. Those will be custom built. Temporary amp and battery racks. This will change dramatically after air ride is done....

Go to 3:10 to see real world testing on the Single 80ah Lithium battery by Juicebox. 1 240 DC XP 240 alt 1600 amps continous 11.7v avg continuous ~ 30 minutes of testing Lowest it dropped was 11.2 Recharged back up to 13.2 within 15 seconds

1 lithium is equal to 5 G31 batts but only weighs 31lbs.....discharge capability is insane with lithium....and recharge is stupid fast....I had my ampere audio 8.0 TFE on 2 g31s in back with a g34 up front with a DC power 320amp alt ...voltage dropping to 11.9 then to 11.6 after about 30 seconds full tilt.... Added 1 lithium batt voltage stays planted at 13.1 song after song after song of continuous demoing
