same as.. wheels are already for sale/swap.

Smoother revving.. and much stronger and clearer bass from the sub.

May just be a bit of a placebo but I think it works.

It needed to be done!!!!

Ive also had a bit of trouble with my drivers side brake calliper...
so i stripped down polished greased up and re fitted using a BIG RED gasket kit.

and also one of the many lambda sensors gave up at just over 130,000 miles... (Bank 1-Sensor 1) so it has been replaced and engine warning light switched off.

I have also started work on boot build,

nothing major... but ive never done one before and i wanted to see if i could do it Smile

Whilst looking on ebay satuday afternoon, i spotted a for sale add of a basic IS200 boot build and it was local... a couple of emails and a phone call later and i went to pick it up.

so i decided to put it in the lexus and see how it looks.

nice tight fit... so i thought what the hell and fitted my current set up in to it.
its a Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 linked to a JBL GTO amp.

The sub box and top section for the horn tweeters has now been re-upholstered and look great in the new leatherette material.

the horn tweeters are a ****** to fit as the magnet of the horn is bigger than the cutout needed to fit the unit lol.

Plans have changed slightly with the amp front... i have decided to ditch the crunch... and go for a Vibe Blackbox BASS 4 Mono amp.

Here are the specs for the vibe amp.

The only trouble is that its too big to fit where i wanted it to..
