what i have done is put layers of aluminum foil down and taped it up with masking tape, you will notice that it is quite thick in the grooves, this is so when you roll it the roller dosent go through the foil

Test fitment of the first glass mat layer, this will give you the basic shape.

i've always thought of putting a small encloser around the towers there.

to fit a shallow 12 and amp hidding in the wall, just to keep the space. or even just a dual 12inch behind the seats for easy removle, as its not a daily driver not really fussed

im liking the look of your setup so far, but i got one of those kenwood dvd's and the system box of what even is in that pocket you filled, but can wait to see the final outcome :D looks good

Looks the goods mates. Only thing is on the left hand side behind the panel in the boot is the computer for the Atessa system and on the right hand side is the oil bottle for the Atessa system. In saying that it would probably be a good idea making it easy to remove so you can access to the Atessa computer and oil bottle.

Yeah, i thought of that, they will be completely removable. when i had the bluey, the system was awesome, but it was totaly impractical, no boot space. hehe as you can see

Quick update guys.

ok a framework has to be made so as to hold everything in place.

when you have finished the framework the fibreglassing can begin.

what i didnt take a photo of is me streching the "T-Shirt" matrial over the framework and hot gluing/ stapling to get the shape i want.

then you just get resin and paint over the matrial, giving you a good hard but brittle shape to start putting your mat on.

the box itself is going to be a sealed box so now im fining all the holes and pluging them up.

next step is i will be glassing over the amp to make it so it is sunk into the box. ill take a few photos of that process..

ok framework for sub and amp mount.

OK, so I don't want to start a new thread, but what are thew biggest sized speakers you can fit into the standard spots in the doors, without modifying the door skins?

I don't want to go the the effort of the boot install, but I'm putting in my HU and Jaycar Response 4x50WRMS amp (was thinking of under the drivers seat for mounting), and my factory speakers have gone to heaven due to my love of the new Girl Talk album......talk about bass!

I remember threads on the speakers, but I can't find them....at all!

Cheers, Greg.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
