Reply With Quotevery nice work manntis. If only my car had a 2.5 din opening.
Luckily the 84-85 RX-7 comes with a 2.5 DIN stereo opening. With minor trimming, I got the screen to fit.
The screen and console:
test fit:
Behind the scenes - I affixed the rear plastic mounting plate directly to the console face and snapped in the screen from the front:
...as seen here, sans screen (but with console face now painted and clearcoated to match the car colour)
screen mounted:
DVD/CDROM drive mounted in the top of the glovebox. I cut two slits in the top of the glovebox and strapped it there with black metal strapping. left over from a shipping crate. Cutting out a small rectangle of plastic behind it made room for connecting wires, though I still haven't got it to work right.
Carputer tucked inside / behind storage bin behind driver's seat. I've since installed a new bin with less plastic cut away.
up and running. You can see the thumb drive I use to quickly load new music onto it - it's hanging from a silver USB cable in the passenger footwell (tucks up into the dash when not connecting or disconnecting it)

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story
That's cheating! That monitor fit perfectly, no fair, they not supposed to fit and make you work for it.
Looks good, like it was meant for that space.
