its all coming together slowly. 4 of the 6 items from maplin have arrived al be it 4 days late and resent via DHL.

so i got the inverter, 3.5mm -> phono cable, 2m usb cable, 2 m monitor cable. i cancled 1 item the phono leads as these will be supplied with a wiring kit, and my usb pci card is being sent via DHL today.

went to the scrappy at weekend and not only did i put my hand through a window, i also got a second dash for 15 squid.

i believe my GPS dongle is at home and awaiting for my wireless keyboard and mouse.

dad has got me a wireless broadband router with 2 pci cards. and a laptop card to get mum online.

still need to order a relay, 8awg wireing kit (getting from jono at that audio place after crimbo but he never replied to my email :( )

screen being ordered on the 1st.

so im nearly there. i got step by step guide with pics going. it starts with me cutting my case with an angle grinder and then stick a magnet on my graphics card DOH.

next is customising my second dash.

sure most of u dont care but never mind

My dad can't get an inverter through his work for you but will look into getting you one from somewhere.
Any more info on moving the vents next to the hazards button?

sounds like it's all coming together mate - nice one for keeping step by step photo's n that, always good to see how people do things.

i'm guessing the screen is going where the top vent is then yeah, or is it gonna go on the passenger side? (where the airbag is)

Sounds well funny the way you put this mate! :)

im cutting the vents and the hazard switch out. and fitting my stereo thre instead, as i never use these vents. just wasted. my screen will be where the stereo is now also like daz's and jay fish.

im having problems with the vent system behind the dash as it needs cutting back and blocking. dunno how to get to it tho.... and also the hazard switch needs relocating to where i dont know.

sounds good, if you get it looking snug in there it will look mint! i've always thought that the HU there and a screen where the HU goes at the mo would look quality!

about the hazrd switch - you could put it on the top vent - facing flat on the vent - would look snug up there if you get the fitting right?

Would it not be a good idea to make your car run properly first? ;)
 
Mine crashes if i drive the car 50 metres +

any ideas?

Im going to try my 2nd pc see if that cures anything but does anyone have any ideas?

Its a pc tower laid with the motherboard down. This a problem?

Re: re

@ Alex, does the PC cut out if you don't drive?

Start the car and sit there for a couple of minutes and see if it still crashes...

Re: Car PC's

Re: re
