89 Supra Turbo finished (for now)

Yeah, I've got the chopped short shifter mod (from the old SOGI tech tips!) also, but it's still not short enough. I think even with the C's short-shift mod it would still obscure part of the view from the driver's seat. No way around that I suppose.... except switch to the A340E, and that's not something I feel like doing

And the kiddo rides up front. Not entirely the safest place for him, but much easier ingress/egress.

After getting ***** from my coworker about how "ghetto" my Rikaline GPS looked on the outside of my car (it was attached to the metal strip surrounding the hatch glass), I did some plexi tinkering and made a custom mount so that it could be placed on the inside of the hatch, with the top facing through the glass. Initial testing shows that there is very little signal loss between outside and inside, so it'll stay inside from now on. This mount could easily be used on the front windshield or the back, for those that want the unit as close to the glass as possible. It could even be reduced in size if you were to crack open the case and take the components out (since they no longer need to be waterproof).

Wow...using the mobo box as a case...wow, that's ghetto.

But hey, it seems to work well.

Good job on the install.

Yeah, it was a quick and cheap case until I can procure the necessary plexi for my custom jobber.
