OK that's pretty cool.

Is that for engine management or computer games? REALLY now

is that a legacy free ipaq?

ive been looking really hard at the 5" lcd screen off that portable playstation deal (only $130). hmmmm.

Demian

 

hehe... wellp the possibilities are endless... but i just got solitaire and the other regulars on there right now

 

yeah... legacy free... 6 usb ports..heh, thing boots up in 20 secs and shuts down in less than 10

 

how do you have the stereo setup coming from the pc? do you have a line out to rca's to your speakers through some type of receiver?

Looks like a pretty cool setup, great idea...adds weight though

 

right now i have an FM freq modulator on the line out port of the iPaq...but soon ill have the a digital audio out card going to an amp and then from there to the speakers... im not a big car audio nut... but with all that music in the car... playing improperly would be a tragedy.

 

would've been cooler if you did it on an iPac with Windows CE.

 

how do you turn the heater on?

 

lol... all those controls are still there... all i took out was the cd player, the "pocket" the ashtray, cig lighter and the cupholders... you just cant see it b/c its above the screen

 

Big Phat R....he couldn't do that silly, the screen isn't big enough!

 

Is the PC mounted in the back seat so you can reach back and reset it when it locks up?

 

Big Phat R....he couldn't do that silly, the screen isn't big enough!

 

Nice socks

 

i have it there so i can A. turn it on and off easily when i get in and out of the car and B. so i can pop in DVD's easily. It hasnt really crashed on my yet... knock on wood.... the legacy free helps with that i guess

 

Yeah but i was thinking he could have rigged up some HUD so you could read the info off the windshield (a la Corvette). J/k

TurboR616 is the new king of techno-geek! I'm jealous

 

Turbo - you know where I can pickup one of those iPaqs? They're no longer made as far as I know.

Turbo - another question, what kind of screen is that? Custom?

SoCal98ITR

 

got mine from cdw.com

 

nah... go to http://www.flat-panel.com its the 6.4" "superkit" it comes with all the parts you need to make the lcd run including vga connections. think its like 700 for the whole kit.

Yeah dude! All "race cars" have compaq computers in them.
Where are you gonna put the Turntables and strobe lights!

 

nah... just the onboard computer for the management system.. i was just going to use my laptop, but didnt feel like draggin it in and out of the car all of time... so you wanna race?? i gaurantee ill rip you a new one.. lemme kno

 

It's not something I would ever do, but I like it

 

As much as our instinct might be to flame him for weighing down the car with computers and all...I am quite sure the turbo more than makes up for all the added weight. I'm a litle jealous
