Thread: 2005 Mazda RX8- Nothing like you've ever seen - Multi LCD

Well I've been working on this project for a long time. I think i'm finally finished with it. took me around 6 months. with a TON of fabrications. before that. I had never fabricated a thing before. So, I read up alot on mp3car how people did it. I knew what I wanted to do. just.. not how to do it.

The only problem I had to deal with is all the glowing the inside does at night and people stairing in.. asking me.. hey, what type of system is that.. lol


first I started with the center dash carputer, running roadrunner and a heavily modified freedom ultimate skin.



this center dash peice folds down when needed.





the carpc has Horm activated so it take about 10 seconds to boot up. using a laptop I removed the battery. so It's a clean bootup every time. Unfortunatly. since that is the case. it thinks that it's been online since the snapshot. hense my runtime being 300 hours


well anyways, back to fabrication..
I then decided to modify a pillar pod with an LCD. and air/fuel/voltage combo gauge and boost gauge.



when the music is off, it displays system stats.



when the music is on it display winamp stats.
and when I click on winamp visualization. it puts a nice little equalizer at the bottom of the lcd which looks sick at night.



.. a few weeks later.. I felt the urge to make somthing else..

so I decided to fabricate a reverse cam into my top tray..



of course It had to be hidable..



and my phone to stream internet radio or google earth. or anything else for that matter..



I think it's finished..





Yes, the carbra is coming off this summer before anyone tells me.. lol



tell me what you think. or if you have any more ideas
