Hey Guys,
Long time Reader, so thought I should share what happening with my own ride. Ive owned the car now for just over a year.
My names Michael & I work for Stinger Australia / Phoenix Gold Australia
The vehicle in question is a 1987 Toyota Supra MKIII Widebody Aerotop. It started its life as a 7M.
Its now fitted with a 1UZFE from a SC400 '93 Soarer. Dual 2.5" Exhaust & 4.11 Torsen LSD from JZA70R. Upgraded Brakes and 18 x 9.5 (Rear) 18 x 8.5 (front) Wheels.
Its Currently Automatic with a 1JZGTE shift kitted box but will be replaced with a R154 5 Speed Manual eventually (not cheap option with a 1UZ).
Currently makes around 225hp at the wheels without any modifications except exhaust.
I will get some more photos of the exterior of the car and engine later on but any who enough of that. Onto the audio!
Audio Gear going into vehicle..
My aim for this car was to try and keep everything looking subtle to a point. The front door pods will be trimmed in original A70 vinyl to look like it could have come like it.
The boot also will be trimmed in same original grey vinyl with some black inserts here and there.

Phoenix Gold Ti 6.5CS x 2 (Front Stage MTM setup)
Phoenix Gold Ti 10" woofers x 3
All Stinger HPM Cabling
Stinger SPV70 Battery
Sony XAV60 Head unit

Microsoft Xbox with modded operating system
Here are some current shots of the door pods. Still have good couple of ours of sanding. I am over it! These will be trimmed in the original A70 Supra grey vinyl.
This was after creating the box over the weekend. Big thanks from Scott for creating the sub woofer enclosure!
This is a shot last night after starting to cable up the amplifiers and speakers.

This was posted up the other day... I was drooling over the idea of a 1UZ in a MKIII ... so how long until you switch it to ITBs?
I just noticed there's a small gap at the bottom of the speaker mounts on the subwoofer enclosures where the outer ring and the inner ring don't overlap. Or is that just marker?

That was just marker. I am trying to decide between the OBX ITBS or going with a blower. Either will have to happen once the ECU is swapped out with a stand alone.stipud wrote:This was posted up the other day...

This one is more of a cruiser for weekends. I intend on getting another MK3 and dropping a 1UZ into it for track use eventually.

Got some work done this weekend with fitting out more in the boot.
I will upload more images of the boot trimmed later on. Still got more to do. I remember why I get frustrated trimming with Vinyl.

Damn my second car was an 86 1/2 supra. N/A so it was kinda a turd but I loved everything about. At one point I had three JL W1 10's on 600 watts and it hurt. Way more than I would ever have now adays. Always loved that body style though keep us posted!
We don't need no stinkin' bass boost!
