rob_sri Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Home made enclosure and matting, arse ache but worth it!! Sounds much better now Amped, and installed.. Polished up gear stick.. Going to pick up a new engine next weekend for the turbo build and hopefully carbon boot should be painted up and on in a week or so Hopefully more progress soon !

Timlowthian Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Are the speakers screwed to the doorcard? Going to be fitting the same speakers to mine, just wondered how you attached the grilles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Speakers are attached to the wooden brackets I made as pictured above I bought the mdf rings which I wood glued too them from eBay think £6 delivered There are diagrams which are helpful on here just search fitting 17cm speakers - I can find them if you need links The brackets essentially replace these standard pods.. You can snip the existing connectors off and use them rather than buying new spades.. That's what I did You will need to use the surround from the existing speakers to neaten the fit up and if you want to install your own grills.. This will require separating the plastic ring from the fabric covered grills which simply is held in by plastic pins.. Snip them off and they come apart.. You then want to get rid of the inner plastic so you can screw into the wood easier - I used a blow torch and a Stanley knife Should fit together like this .. OEM surround Speaker backing Speaker Then grill clips over the top Very good speakers! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iky Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Great work your doing lad, this is becoming one of my favorite Supra's on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 No way.. Thanks mate :) I feel honoured haha there are so many absolutely amazing machines on this forum! I've gotta say I'm loving working on it so far.. Supras are great cars to learn about and restore! It is bleeding me dry at the moment though so progress may have to slow down a little till after Christmas! Still.. This is how my garage looks at the moment plus an engine block going in soon as my crane is fixed to get it out the van! Absolute Mess!!! Luckily It's my birthday the end of the month so I'm hoping to spend some birthday money on getting the carbon bootlid on and get that out the garage I set about taking the lights out earlier So I could remove these for Scott87 And tomorrow I can fit these..! Josh and rich popped over to say hey and drop this off for my NA-T build, thanks guys great to meet you ! Midlands meet soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
