Let me be the first to congratulate you on a fine job so far! Keep it going!

Nice job. There are a couple of xB's posted here. I love the look of those cars, noticed you have an automatic, are they as gutless as I here?

fixerofallthing · 06-04-2005, 06:35 PM

Not really. I am an ASE Master Tech and I drive alot of cars and it is not bad. I have added the mod to the IAT sensor and that helped a bunch, but who can argue with 30+ mpg?

I still think they are really cool. my two girls hate them, too boxy. I keep threating to get one and make them ride to school in it.

have you elimanated th headunit all together or just move it?

I eliminated it. My 14 yo daughter hates it also, that is why I had to tint the windows so she would ride in it. We like it so much that we bought 2 at the same time. My wife drives a Blue Onyx one. The funny thing is that I am a Youth Pastor and all the other young people in our church LOVE it!!! Dad is never cool enough I guess.

Thats funny! My girls are 14 and 13 also. Odd part is they have no problem riding in my dodge minvan!

I really like the color of yours. I've seen a few of the yellow one's but I'm not sure I could go that far.

Very nice clean install man. I like your painted interior too. Keep on rocking the Scion, who cares what others think.

Damn man i like what you did with the trunk. I also drive an xb and i am curently installing a carpc. I am gonna do a fiberglass box with a plexiglass window and blue neons inside. I have a 7 inch lilliput monitor bondoed to the radio bezel. How did you cut out the headunit? I was going to do the dame thing you did with the hidden slmline dvd rom and the card reader for my palm pilot and video camera. Nice car man. Hey do you go on scionlife? Aight man keep up the good work!!

I have an 8" monitor so it fits pretty well. I disassembled the monitor and marked up the bezel and went at it with a Dremel and air tools. I then used a product called plastic weld that is an epoxy and plastic glue in one.

Yes I go on there and posted pics of the car in the sound system section to see what the non computer geeks think about a PC in an Xb.

Nice Work....
I am running a 7" in mine. Temp install until I get the guts to mount in the dash.

Check out www.scionevolution.com as well.......

These are the finished photos of the monitor install.

Project 90% finished!!!

I got this idea from a picture I saw in this forum. I used a mirrored plexi since I had to cover the factory mirror up. My wife needs is at times.

Sorry about the fingerprints.
