I've been looking for guages like that for quite some time now (I like the reverse indiglo kind, like those are)...
I like them to, but they don't make them for the 4cyl. I might get them just for the hell of it and live with my tach and speedo being off a bit.

88 LE -> If you have the info on rewiring that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
You have to do some cutting and splicing, but here it goes.

1. Cut the ground wire going to the corner light.

2. Tape off the end that goes to the car cos you don't need it anymore.

3. Splice the ground wire from the corner light to the +12V of the blinker. You'll need some short pieces of wire and some crimp connectors.

Make sure that you verify the wires with a DMM before you cut and splice.

Parking lights off = corner lights and blinkers blink at the same time

Parking lights on = corner lights and blinkers alternate

Did you put your fogs where the turn signals were before or elsewhere?
I mounted them to the bottom of the bumper right beside the turn signals. See picture below.

I figured as much regarding finding coilovers - springs it is then.
Change out the struts to. The stock ones are not gonna do very good with lowering springs. You'll have a bouncy ride.

KYB, Tokico (cartridges for serviceable struts), and Koni (cartridges for serviceable struts) make struts for the 2nd gens.

I have the Tokico's on my car along with Intrax springs, but I chopped a coil off the back springs to even out the gap (2 finger all the way around).

Now that's a scary thought having a car that looks like a camry mated with a Supra...
Haha.. 2nd gen Camry front half and MKIV Supra Turbo back half.

Its just a crazy idea that I came up with. It would be cool if someone actually did it and got it to work.

Now you have me wondering how much power my stock (AT) tranny would handle before I smoked it.. muhahaha.
You wouldn't be using the stock tranny with my idea. You'd be using a 2JZ-GTE w/the 6 speed Getrag tranny out of a MKIV Supra Turbo. The engine would sit in the front and the tranny is connected to the rear half of the car (Supra) by a custom driveshaft.

The stereo... well, there's a huge enclosure (~5 cu. ft.), two Kicker L7 15" subs, two batteries, and 6 Kicker amps..
Damn.

maybe I need some more junk to lift the front end of the car off of the ground
Hydraulics like them ghetto lowriders? :roll:
