Johannesburg / South Africa meet

SAScooby · 01-13-2005, 01:47 AM

Hi There

All Fellow South African carputer nuts and I know there are a few lurkers on the board, lets have a meet and discuss the end result as well as the problems we face being 10 000 miles from the rest of the civilised world and how to get around them

Please add to this thread, I am thinking of a meet up in JNB / maybe Sandton city roof / Innes free park / Midrand in fact anywhere

The tentative date would be 5/6 of Feb or 19/20 of Feb

let me know your thoughts

you can PM me on drunkagainATthepub.co.za
replace the AT with @

Cheers

YAY! Durban is rocking, hows the Car computer coming up? how far ya gone? Im installing this weekend.

Aisdale · 10-13-2006, 01:22 AM

Havn't installed yet, still waiting for a couple peices of hardware, should be happening soon.

What you doing for GPS? handymap looks like our best bet. I'm interested to know what you using?

slipmatt · 10-13-2006, 01:33 AM

i dont have GPS yet, i just got the install for now, im thinking engine diagnostics but have no idea how, what gps receiver do you have? where'd ya get it from?

Aisdale · 10-13-2006, 01:47 AM

When you say you just have the install for now, are you talking about GPS software? if so what is it?

slipmatt · 10-13-2006, 01:58 AM

No no no, no gps software, i got the PC install ready to plug and play in the car, car is wired, just to plug it in

, i concentrated more on getting the pc running (I've had a lot of hiccups in getting that right

)
But its finally done, and im installing this weekend, once its installed, i will start adding, BTW, what car are you running it in?

Aisdale · 10-13-2006, 02:05 AM

just a very standard 2003 toyota corrolla.. nothing fancy. Where in durban u at bro?

I recon when we both installed we shout meet up and have a look at eachothers setups.

slipmatt · 10-13-2006, 02:07 AM

Im running it in a Mazda MX6

Aisdale · 10-13-2006, 02:09 AM

Nice! sweet cab

I live and work Westville.

There's actually 3 of us now.. I know another guy in dbn north with a carpc

slipmatt · 10-13-2006, 02:16 AM

Niiiiiiccceeee, good to see that durban is advancing

Do you know anything about engine diagnostics etc? Are you fabricating your dash yourself?

Aisdale · 10-13-2006, 02:19 AM

Havn't looked at Diagnostics yet.. I got a 1400 so its kinda pointless for me

I'm planning on fabricating myself yes, it will be my frist attempt at somthing like this so I hope i don't f#ck it up...

I was thinking about getting someone to fab the screen for me but i'm not too sure if there's any place that could do it in dbn..

What you doing ?
