I'd rather integrate my ipod into the system. It just makes everything so much easier and cleaner, not to mention it holds much more music.

Check out a GROM Audio adapter. I'm rocking one in my IS 300. Integrates your iPod into your factory system, it's plug and play, and you can control the iPod both from the head unit and the iPod itself, unlike aftermarket head units that only let you use the head unit. It's well worth the money.

Im gonna see how the OEM system sounds with my ipod as i really like the look and functionality of the OEM double din, so I'm gonna attempt to keep it. If not ill get a single din with a pocket(how boring)or a oem double din out of a scion and put 8" subs in the doors and new speakers all around...

This might blow your mind. It's what I'm getting soon lol.

The car had $565 in back fees and Mike won't answer his phone, and now has it turned off.Thank you mike. Thank you. And it failed smog again.This is turning out just f*cking peachy.

*SIGH*

But at least even with fees it was $1600, but saying when i first got the car it looked like the hood hadnt been opened for years and the interior looked like it was modified by a 9 year old with an obsession for firetruck red it was NOT worth it. The engine now actually feels strong after doing some normal routine maintenance as the oil was blacker than Wesley Snipes, the coolant was the color of Hector and Samir and the interior was so dirty it looked like the car had been driven by Pig-Pen from charlie brown since 1994. Yes Mike, the gloves are off.

Yes, they actually rose in the 2nd test X.X. But i got a 2 month pass with one of those ghetto red box things in the rear window, so I'm good til late February. I'm going to find a new header and cat as mine is cracked(again, thank you mike) and a new EGR system(mine has a hole internally). Also i think just driving the car should help clear it out, as it sat for a year without really being driven.

Very nice. I have my old catcon, in good condition. Shipping that anchor across the country wouldn't be cheap, but if you want it, it is yours.

I've been reading up on smog NOx levels for fun, and from what I can tell they were talking EGR EGR EGR when it comes to high NOx. So of all the things you previously mentioned, with respect to price, I would DEFINITELY start there. I apparently prevents pre ignition which means your car burns hotter and makes more NOx. So start there in my $.02

SupraKid

#43

Yea ricochet that is what the smog tech said. And saying my EGR has a hole in it thats what ill definetly replace before going back. But I think just cleaning the engine out will also help. But thanks for the research!


Today I installed my new 6k HIDs, and LEDs all over. Tomorrow the sway bar bushings, motor mounts and new lugs all go on. Also i bought one of the cassette to AUX things and the OEM sound system is TERRIBLE with my ipod . So looks like itll all be getting upgraded. Anyone know what size the top speakers are? Im guessing 6.5".

Just now realized you have the 8 speaker system. Nice! The top speakers are 4", the others are 6.5's.

Yea the car has all the options that were offered(sunroof, premium sound, leather, etc). Actually the bottoms are real 8"s(not 6.5s in a bracket like normal celicas) and id imagine the backs are 6.5s like normal.

#46

Factory 8's? I had no idea. I was under the impression that it was basically the same system, just with two extra speakers.

THE TAPE DECK TO IPOD IS CRAP! I literally just bought one for my sister for christmas. She said it was terrible. Low audio, shotty quality. It's a shame there isn't a better way to get to use the stock stuff..

SupraKid

#48

Idk I used one in my first celica and it worked OK...I mean it wasnt great but I used it for a few months, but this is just terrible. My old celica eventually had bostons all around with a kenwood premier headunit and kicker subs, and it was ORGASMIC...This time around i wanna get a double din with 8" subs(amp powered) in the doors so i don't have bulky box in the hatch, with new headunit powered speakers in the top front and back..

A noob question but do the jdm tails just bolt right in or is there wiring work you need to do? (spicing wires from the jdm setup)

They bolt in. Then the JDM wiring harness will either plug right in or you can use your USDM harness, but it will have an extra plug for a bulb that the JDM lights don't use.

Trace- I posted it earlier, but check out the GROM Audio unit. Plugs right into the head unit, full iPod integration. I'm rocking it in the Lexus and love it.

Andrew- I'm jealous of your sound system already and you don't even have it yet

Which bulb does the jdm tail not use? and what do you do with the extra bulb? can you just cut it and wrap electrical tape around the exposed little nub?
and if I were to use the JDM, could you just splice it in with the stock wiring?

I just pulled the bulb and tucked it away. I stupidly bought wedge type LED bulbs for the tails when the USDMS take the bayonnet type..So i ordered a set of sockets that ill have to wire in. Also today I started making plans for the lighting situation on the gt4 front. No oem gt4 bezels for me, and the running lights will be moved.

that's weird...I took mines to a BAR station or office and it took them less than 2 hours to say I was qualified. I also brought with me my smog fail test result to show along with the application. I walked in...turned the app in with the results...they told me to leave a number and they'll determine if i made it...2 hours later...i did.

Don't put your parents...you put the app being you and that you're independent.
