Connor376 Finding somewhere to route the cables through to the boot

Done power etc down passenger side
Been advised to route the cables from the stereo down the other side, can't find anywhere to fit them through? (IS200)

Sorry for the late answer... Well i've usually found enough space if you remove the plastic scuff strips at the bottom of the door sills, the carpet looks like there is not a lot of space but if you peel it back there should be enough space to fit a couple of RCA cables, and yes it is best to route the power and signal wires down opposite sides of the car to reduce the chance of EMF interferance on the signal wires (RCA's), once you get to the back seat area its just a case of running the wires under the bottom parts of the rear seats and then under the trunk carpeting.

Thanks for that matey.
Is there a specific area where I'll be able to fit the wires through, am existing hole or something anywhere ?

Cheers again mate

There are wires already going along the passenger side just run them alongside there are 4 plastic parts you will want to remove if your running to the boot once you get to the rear seat there's a hole to feed wires into the boot if that's where your going I can feed a wire from the engine to the boot in about 5 mins it's ultra easy even have some running to a pc under my passenger seat and you would never know they were there.

My mechanic sold his world championship drag racing supra at Japshow last weekend so he was having a bit of a clear out of his workshop. I acquired a parachute for Sachi ! And finally got my hands on a very special supra spoiler. The very first time I went to JPS it was sitting on the floor in the waiting area, it's a stock style spoiler but it has a flared lip on the back edge. It's awesome and I told him I was having that wing. It's taken me four years but I got it Smile That'll get sprayed on go on Suki.. so now I have four spoilers and two supras ... more supras needed methinks! I also picked up a couple of shiny bits for Sachi, battery bar and a radiator cover panel with Supra etched into it Smile

I'm not an Outlaw; I'm a Poutlaw! Purple Supras are the bestest! I love purple .. a lot lot lot Smile

Definitely not joking, I bought a parachute yesterday... having slept on it (not the parachute) I am thinking twice about whether I want to drill a huge hole in her backside, and there's the hassle of covering the canvas all the time as she stays outside and then there's always a neighbours kid who will feel the need to fiddle with it.. I'm going to think on it some more
