Just got my car and after all i have been doing researching and what not I am ready to begin my build. This is my first real build as i have dropped speakers in cars. But this time I plan to take my time and do things correctly. I call it a budget build because I don't have unlimited resources so at times it will be slow. But I plan to put everything together piece by piece. All the way over here in Okinawa Japan I am pretty much at the mercy of the mail man here. I hope every one enjoys the journey as I am sure it will be a long one. here is my car. I plan to put some more pics up in the morning.

Its a Toyota Mark II they were only made in Japan. It has a 1JZ engine( The same one in a Supra but this one is slightly better) Today I was my first weekend with my car so I changed the oil and the grill and gave her a good washing. My friend had the same car but wrecked his and gave me a good deal. so i have extra parts!

Sweet F-ing ride! Tuned in for sure! No need to block out plates, not to many people going to Japan to mess with your ride. Sweet looking though!

I love mark 2s I had one a couple of years back and loved the shit out of it. If I didn't need a work vehicle I would still have

Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at.

I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k.
