Need advise on mounting my computer in my MR2

**Bboy_jon** · 07-19-2006, 09:34 PM

ALright basically, im having some trouble figureing a better spot to mount my carputer, i dont like having to move it everytime someone else drives my car, since the current way its setup, its based off how far the seat is when I am driving

anyways, ya i drive a toyota mr2 (91 NA) and, no pics of the carputer itself but here

its on the floor right in front of the driver side sub, again its not pictured as those pics are old, but ya

the carputer is mounted on a piece of wood and the carputer rests on it (horizontaly) and when i drive, the seat is pushed back and its touching the computers case, heres a mock up

again, since the driver seat is right up against the computer when its adjusted for me (im like 5' 4") anyone else who is driving it WOULD NEED to move the seat back, and that means repositioning the computer, which i hate doing

so does anyone have any ideas on how/where i can mount it, to have extra room? i cant fit it in the storage compartments

any help would be much appreciated, thanks

also, my frunk is taking up by my amp

should i just make a case (out of aluminum) that is small enough to fit under the seat?

On the armrest between the subs. I think that is where those cd holders go anyway.

ya i was thinking of that originially, but then people can see it, but its still an idea

any ideas how to mount it? cuz the center is all slanted and stuff

Need more pics! Need to see the front of the dash, the floor space, need to see distances with the seat down, I'll gove you some ideas, but you dish out more pics!

I would mount it above the driver's sub, sideways, with a dvd slot loader facing the passenger. Hide the wiring under the back carpet. Just be sure to wrap the wires with heat sleeving.

the first thing that stuck me when I opened up this thread was "CRAP!"

You need to move that strap that's going over the drivers side sub. You're not doing that sub any good by preventing it from extending when it needs to.

Secondly, I'd start looking behind panels:
