plodding along slowly mainly held up with funds. and cannot really do anything until Ive got money for the rego, insurance, inspection etc. although i bought a 20ltr fuel container and put 20 litres of BP ultimate and it turned the rough idle into a smooth as engine which revs way more freely than mine - completely stock!

have extractors waiting to go in, and will buy the MS kit to bolt on. (one day!) the other thing ive got from O/S are these!










so far parts come from:
Japan
New Zealand
Poland
USA
Germany
China and Australia.

now I just need something from Africa and Antartica... LOL.

Get some trillion dollar bills from Zimbabwe and stickerbomb something with them.

Then get some penguin skin shift and handbrake boots.

hey guys. bought a computer thanks to Phil @ Eds PC's!


Eee PC, 1.65ghz, 4g ddrIII ram, 120gig corsair HDD, HDMI out, USB 3,BT etc.

also bought an in-car voltage regulator for use with the above and an empty USB 3 caddy for the 500gig drive which was in here originally. This will power my various devices and screen for my entertainment

Thanks phil for your help and putting up with me for a few hours today!

The end goal is:

2 amps, front and rear + Sub (or 3 if it makes tuning easier via a USB soundcard (looking at the creative offering, mounting the physical dial in the dash for volume control, as well as steering wheel controls for BT and music.

In another port I will run a USB to serial adaptor for ECU tuning, with in-car adjustment woohoo......one day!
In another dock somewhere I will sit my phone, which will be tethered to the PC to provide internet access and a GPS reciever for navigation.
IN another port the 500gb drive will provide unlimited music etc.
In another port a HDTV tuner will give me DAB+ radio and FM stations, until internet becomes cheaper and practical to stream when I'd like.
A bluetooth wireless keyboard will give me the ability to type etc faster and easier.
A camera security system with live streaming to help with "not at fault accidents" as it took months to do that last time grr.. this will be saved onto the 500gb also. (front and rear)

A box with a USB 3 hub will house all of the above with a neat connection to the front of the car.

Its going to be a slow and painful process until I have the software up to a useable state, with so many different hardware options it will be a challenge for the little PC but we shall see!

Price of that setup? I woulda gone an SSD for incar entertainment for speed, but money is not always a luxury, especially when it comes to SSDs lol.

Oh oops, yeah ssd, apparently the fastest on the market. It's limited by the motherboard though. Pricing, well the laptop itself had a retail of $600... Ask Phil what he sold it for
