If anyone wants to bring their sports car or anything of the sort, there is also a designated area to drive around really fast if that is your thing.

Just a suggestion.

OMFG, we have to do that next meet. Ive been wanting to push my truck to its limits.... even though the sh!+ty electronic limiter will stop me :-(

. Also I have some bad news and some good news, The TPMS chips from Italy will not arrive until the 24th so I won't be able to give you your kits at the meet, but I will have a demo kit that I can show you guys at the meet and I will ship you your kits early next week. I know this busts some of your bubbles but I am sure you guys can wait a few extra days.

Also superart, I don't think its a good time to change the location for the current meet, I am sure the others will agree, but if you take some pictures and give some some more specifics I am sure we can meet there next time. Take a look at the first post in this thread for details.

That really burst my bubble..... UGH, everyone knows I have no patience. Can I buy the demo

. We have it already set, but its a cool idea for next time. Not only will I be able to push the truck, but also test the TPMS and OBD2 at hi speeds, I have yet to do that.

Trust me you don't want to buy the demo. It only works with the old style sensors which are already fitted into my car. The new kit will be worth the wait which isn't really much of a wait (2-3 days). I am sure you will have ample time to get your kit working 100% before the next meet, hopefully we will have the logging software working by then too and you can do some serious hi speed testing.

There are different sensors? Remember I already have them, so I dont know what type I have.

Well first I have to get the reprogrammer for my cars ECU so i can take that retarded limiter off. They should give people the option to do so via a switch or something.

If you already have the 3rd eye brand sensors then you will only need the reciever board in which case you will have one for the meet.

. The new ones are pretty much the same as the old ones except they have a 'CE' logo on them and there is a small change in the code. The old sensors will work fine with the current firmware.

Lok, would you make up your mind. I go crazy when I cant have something, then all of a sudden I can, LMFAO.

PS: Like usual meets, dont expect me to be there on time. I always seem to get lost.

thatslife · 02-19-2009, 06:14 PM

HAHA but you've already been there how can you get lost twice and with a carpc haha

Trust me even if I been there, I didnt pay attention. The GPS got me there, and then when I got there I drove around the park for almost an hour because the GPS was off by a whole lake.

thatslife · 02-20-2009, 10:37 PM

anyone have a 7" lcd to sell? mine crap out... my second one already...

JohnWPB · 02-21-2009, 12:30 AM

I have the motorized one that was in my car when I had the wreck you can have. The motorized part is shot, but if you are good with fidgeting, you may be able to dissemble it and use the monitor that still works.

I will bring it Sunday.

HiJackZX1 · 02-21-2009, 08:34 AM

I'll bring some stuff too. I have so many pieces that I have that was going to be used in my CarPC but never made it because I either found something better or I just didn't need it. Now that my gathering of components is done, I need to purge inventory. I have a motherboard (only used it once, its a big one though, I think 5 or 6 graphic cards, 2 sound cards and alot of other stuff. Ill go ahead and put it all in a box. I' ll also bring my incomplete stuff so maybe you guys can give me fabrication ideas, thats pretty much all I have left. I need ideas on a hinge system for my dash top screens, one that isn't obvious and Nexson can design around easily. I made a hinge for the back using a cabinet door hinge but I'm not liking it, so I need ideas for that too.

JohnWPB · 02-22-2009, 02:09 AM

I'm bringing a box of goodies as well....

I am also bringing an external hard drive to store anything that I may need that someone might have

I just got off the phone with John1701. We will be there between 12:30 and 1:00Pm.

I set up a Flickr photo set for the CarPC meet. When I take pictures with the iPhone at the meet, they will show up on the Flickr site as soon as I take them. There is nothing in there now, but a picture of my desk till I take some at the meet. So keep checking the link for photo's! I will prob take one when John gets here and we are on the way down

If anyone needs to call or text me, my cell is 561-236-7024.
