I assume by LSD you mean a limited slip diff? in that case, no.
I'd been thinking about doing an install for about a year. Slowly researched things e.g. components, touchscreens etc. Bought my first part about 3 months ago. Ive been working 8 hours shifts 7 days a week, so i didnt have much time to sort it. About 90% of my time doing the project was spend researching.
thread moved as requested! Congrats!

Hi.
Congratulation's to your project.
Can you tell me where did you boudght your touch screen for 70£?
Thank's
sorry for the very late reply. I bought it second hand from a forum member
First off let me start of by saying the end product of this looks incredibly nice.
I'm am interested in doing something similar to this in my car, posting in your thread because mines is a Ibiza S 02 and am assuming they are similar interior wise.
Just a few questions to you:
Was it hard to find parts for the Ibiza (i.e a new center console panel to house a monitor)
Did you have previous experience doing this kind of thing? (I am new to this as you can tell from join date)(mainly not sure of car wiring to be honest something i'll have to look at)
and lastly for now, Did you use stock speakers or upgraded them?
Cheers and sorry for posting this 2 years later.
