Hey all, Ever since i got my ST204 I've always wanted to do it up nicely. Since then i have been doing this and that so figured i would put up what I have done so far.
The day i got my car...   First and most important to me is Sound! So getting started on the boot install...    Found a nice cheap donor car to source some parts off of. Pic of my Celica and the new Donor one...  The new hole for the sunroof...  Thanks for taking the time to look More updates to come

Why not Because a CarPc is just the tip of the iceberg in the responsibilities and education of a Computer Engineer. It would be better suited to say you become a Car Audio Technician, then an computer engineer, or anything IT related from figuring out a simple CarPc. I know I'm being a prick about it, its just an annoyance I have. Though, I do like the avenue you are going. Very similar to my goals when I get to doing interior. I just intend to use a ITX motherboard with a mounted screen in the din, instead of a CarPc, mainly because the CarPC will not have the rs232 ports I require for the engine monitoring I plan to create. |
