you dont really need the racing seats,

the subs your gonnna need a wiring kit with 4 gauge wire if you want the max wattage to get to your subs.cost- $70, $50compassitor if you dont want to replace your alternator every two months, box $70-125, the subs are gonna be more expensive than you think. you can probably install them though...

i would go with the ic hardpipes

Supra2NR · 11-17-2006, 12:40 AM

the thing is

these seats wont last for long
and where do u find genuine racing seats for 350 a pair?

the piping, the shop will be there for a long time
and its not going anywhere
and even if i get the seats i can get the pipes by the end of the month

then go for the seats since you wont be able to buy them later

thats what i had in mind
and the subs i checkd them out
them things are heavy
im tryin to lose sum weight off my car

redmaro · 11-17-2006, 03:03 AM

What brand are the subs and the amp you want to buy?

j3pz · 11-17-2006, 04:47 AM

im thinkin im gonna get a single 8" or 10" with quick connectors so i got some bump in the trunk, and keep the back seats and the trunk... hoping that will work

couldn't agree more with the weight issue i would difinetly swap out the stock supra seats they are way to heavy. but as for after market seats? if anything i like to keep things all toyota except performance parts.

i have a 89 7mgte i have the electronic driver seat and they suck. i plan on swapping out all seats including the rear for - 4 1997 celica buckets i figure with after market seats you still have to customize why not keep it economical and different. and i have had 97 celica buckets they are bitchin very firm not couchy
