keyboard? i did mention the keypad for the immobiliser which is where i was going to mount the screen but i've changed my mind and it will be moulded into the dash.

getting there mate

i was going to say how the hell will you get a keyboard in the coin tray

blusax · 8th October 2007, 00:51

bit of a little change now going for this design as i measured it all up today and the mono block is wuite large so teh 75.2 is going to be hidden. the sub boxes will sit on the bottom layer of mdf and the top will be cut to fit around them if you catch my drift.

screen will be here in the week so the fabrication of the dash installation soon
plan

lol chav mobile, only good thing is the engine

blusax · 8th October 2007, 02:16

chav mobile!! i spent nearly 4k on that car. if you want to see a chav machine you should see the saxo i had before my current one, im not goign to post a pic but lets just say mahoosive bumpers, twin exit exhaust and sprayed in a goldish colour. oh and it was a 1.1 (hides). believe it or not the system in the corsa cost me around 1k twas about 4-5yrs ago though.

ah and i forgot the new plan

will get some pics of the vtr up soon and its standard as the day it left the factory

Dash Bit Looks Mint Mate, That ,must Of Took Ages To Do

blusax · 18th October 2007, 16:11

its still a bit left to do on it to square it up, but it took about 12hrs to the stage its in now

Semple · 18th October 2007, 16:16

lookin nice. i would build a comp to go in my car but the 15" sub and the amp next to it uses the whole boot up.

Paul^p · 18th October 2007, 18:13

I've been thinking of doing this for a while as i am a computer engineer. But i wouldnt have a clue how to do all the wiring of the car. Building the computer to fit in the back and everything would be easy for me. As i have good access to all the parts. Going to search the internet now and see how hard it would be..

Thanks for inspiration, and yours looks really good

Repped.

blusax · 22nd October 2007, 20:17

thanks matey, nearly done now its squared a bit more, hopefully be sprayed black tomorrow

jamiemackie · 22nd October 2007, 21:14

blusax · 23rd October 2007, 13:06

blusax · 23rd October 2007, 22:05
