Sup guys, Welcome to my lair of car-ness. Here you'll find my car, a first generation 1996 Toyota Avalon XLS. A heads up is that I do all my own work, mainly on the electrical, sound, and lighting system.(brakes/rotars, stuff like that too) Basicaly anything that is connected with wire, chances are I've took it apart. And If I can't take it apart, I don't own it!

Lets start out with a happy new car owner and the shiny wax, un modified editon!

A mega whopping V6 1MZ-FE 3.0 Liter (thats fancy talk for otherwise stock)
Thats what Im talking about.!
_________________________________________________________________________________
So maybe I should start witha story... nah! long made short. Bought the car for $300 with front driver side damage, restored the car for 2,500~ Another note is that I got the car with 196,000 miles. I got to watch it tick over to 200,000! Now its at 209,000 miles and still runs like a champ

I have too much free time, So I wind up doing something or another to my car.

Score! Optima Yellow top, and plan to upgrade the alternator to 130 amps

by the way, I hate running high loads off of one positive wire and using the chasis as negitive. Notice the few for the subwoofer and alternator.

New pedals. I got bored and wanted some more things to do:

Also my LEDs came so I did that to my instrument cluster.

Heres a shot of the outside of my car with the doors open.

Wanted to put new mags on the car too, after winter. cause these are sorta shot with salt corrosion. Like the Koing Further, 16". but that stuff costs money. But we all know we college kids have an unlimited supply of money, right?
