Worked alot on Memphry today and yesterday, but nothing really to show for it.  Everything is hidden and out of the way.
Didn't snap pics, but I did start painting the headlights and shrouds....just need to wait for the custom paint I have planned.
So the electrical system is up and running.
Steven, no worries bud, I think I may have found a few things that may have been causing the Camry to run like crap.  While doing the big 3 upgrade, I noticed the engine's ground wire was loose (could have been causing issues), noticed at the air intake boxes had loose or non-existant connections....so I tighted those up, and after getting the new high output alternator installed, all new 0ga power wires ran throughout...this puppy starts up without hesitation (as it did before) and purrs like a kitten (too many pet references in one sentence???)

Got the 200 amp battery isolator installed, and there is barely enough room to make the connections...but this way it'll be as solid and trustworthy as possible...plus it's just out of the way!
0ga is now ran through the car (wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be), back outside of the car, then back inside (this was because the subbox clearance would have been messed up with the 0ga cable in the way).

On to the final wiring for the LED lights, then finished up the front door speakers.

Cheers
 
 
More Power....More Power!!

Got some of the main power modifications/additions done tonight.
Swapped the old busted alternator out with the new hotness!
First fire, BAM, 14.7 volts, charging......we like....that means it's working.
Swapped the old main battery out for the new, smaller, more efficient battery.  Plenty of Cold Cranking Amps to fire the engine, and more than enough power to run the entire vehicle......for good measure we're putting in another one so the system has it's own to rely on.
Did the 'Big 3' upgrade as well......Alternate to Batter Wire, Battery Ground to Chassis, and Battery Ground to Engine......swapped out the baby small stock wire (10 ga and 8 ga) with 0ga and 4 ga where applicable....main big 3 is all 0ga.....which, by the way, is WONDERFUL to run through the vehicle.

Right now the battery is temporarily wired to make sure the vehicle starts and runs correctly, but next I'll be fusing the alternator side, adding the in-line Stinger battery isolator (this is so the rear battery can play the system without running the cars main battery down too low where it wont start), and starting to run the main power wire (also 0ga) through the firewall and to the rear of the car......lots of work still...but we're getting there.

Hope you like....cheers!!
