Hey, thanks. 
I might have an update for you guys, since I haven't done much to the car lately.
I sold my 12" subwoofer box, but an 18" is on it's way. Then I'll start on the wall and rollcage.

Amazing, how did you paint the trim pieces on the inside I'm about to do mine and was wondering what kind of paint do I need to use and do I sand or not because of the chance of it not being even anymore since they're already so thin pieces?

I wet-sanded mine in warm Dawn water with either 600 or 800, can't remember exactly but probably was 800. Used primer for plastics, then proceeded with colour and clear coat of my choosing. Afterwards once dried you can wet-sand with 1,500 and 2,000 then finish with rubbing and polishing compound. Then apply a small coat of wax to protect from UV rays and install. Wasn't that hard and really changes the look of the interior. The wet-sanding with Dawn or another de-greaser is really important, have to remove the years of protectants so the primer will stick.

Oh okay thank you so much Box, I almost ****ed my **** up XD. Thanks for the advice any tips on color to do my car it's a black gt, I plan on lighting everything up to match on the outside, underglow and all that turning it into a "show car/play toy," I'm just stuck on picking a color can't do red or blue because of cops and I thought about green. I just don't know, kinda lookin' for other people's opinions atm.

I painted mine with metallic black, it's subtle and classy. There are some pictures in my project thread.

Yeah but the outside of my car and everywhere else is black haha. I guess we should probably talk about this somewhere else instead of stealing the end of this thread XD

The white? No way? I didn't know that was an option in factory, unless it's previous owner shenanigans.

Totally agree. I always thought the painted roof scheme was different and "nice", but this angle gives me a whole new perspective.

Working on walling off the Celica.

That is crazy.
That should be installed in an SUV, not a Celica !

If I didn't see that gigantic woofer a few posts up, I'd ask why are you installing a picnic grill in your Celica (because of that gas tank)

how much does that thing weigh?
Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
The steel cage is around 19-20 kilograms.
With the wood added it goes to around 40 kg. With the subwoofer it will be 60 (132lbs). That is less than my weight.
It will be kinda like I always have a passenger with me, tho I have no back seat and other stuff. Let's say a skinny cute chick

How is the box secured to the car. Will u be bolting it to the car? Reason i ask cuz it just hit me in a sudden brake or collision it might hurt u if it displaces forward. Otherwise i cant wait for it to see how it sounds

I've made five metal bracket that bolt onto the car's stock bolt locations, which are reveled after you remove the seats. Then they bolt onto the cage.
I'll also make a custom strut bar that will connect both side of the suspension tops (obviously) and the back side of the cage.

Roughly cut out the port with the jigsaw
Then I used the router to straighten everything up
Rounded over with a different bit for a nice air flow
These grooves are very narrow and several mm deep. When I go ahead and cover the whole thing, the fabric it will be cut and pushed inside the grooves for a nice, flush look.
Placed the subwoofer for the first time and predrilled the mounting holes. The strings are there to help me get it out as it's very hard to lift a 20kg sub when it is flush mounted on the box
