scott- i work on computerized machinery for a living, if you look at the top pic, you can see what it looked like before i cut it, if i didnt have it laying around i would of made the same using acrylic and some plastic weld. i drilled the holes for the standoffs, and then i just used the standoff itself and a nut driver to thread the plastic. when i put the 2 together i drilled the same whole on one side and then a bigger hole on the outer and used some thumb screws. its pretty solid.

port- yeah im getting rid of the whole radio also, im going to order one of them HQCT's as soon as i find a place that pre-orders for the us lol. . i wanted to buy the car with the navi but alas there was no way in hell i was waiting 6 months for my SI just for a nav system. this will turn out way better anyhow. besides when people ask me why im putting a pc in my car, i love telling them.. "because i can."

94legend i beleive is actually the guy who pointed me to this site. lol. i was theorizing what i could do to this car on vtec.net and hes like here check this out.

as for fitting it in the dash. i would imagine there should be enough room in there with the radio gone. i was using the glove box so i wouldnt have to rip the dash apart to work on the pc lol. also i was thinking of actually accessing the air duct behind it and tapping into it for air conditioning in the summer.

oh as for delivery. i got lucky i walked in a dealership, the person that ordered mine couldnt get financed i bought the car pretty much right then and there. but if you know how to find the allocations out, and your not afraid to call diff dealerships. you might wait a month or 2. I posted some other crap here, then realized, ive seen your car so im editing what i said. lol.. im still waiting to see you fit that screen lol.

oh and i like luwe's setup. it looks really good. when hes done relaxing, im sure hell go back and finish the last 10% he rushed lol.. but yeah he did a really good job. i just personally dont want the stock radio, nor do i think i want the screen that far low.
