Thread: 2006 Mazda 3 Worklog

small update: I finally put up some pics of the 99% finished screen, and tomorrow I'll probably put pics of the sound processor up as well.

Sorry for the long time of no updates, if anyone cares, but I've been busy with school and short on money and time because of it. I have the next month off so hopefully I will be able to make some extra money and do some more work... assuming I don't spend it on lift tickets

Hey Dennis,

Would like to see some more pictures. I have a mazda3 as well and have started recently redoing my install. I had an idea similar to yours, but yours was much easier so today I decided to start building something very similar to this.

I want to see how you installed the sound processor.

np, sorry for the long response time, I'll take some pics by this weekend.

Edit: wow... this is a first for me... I've exceeded my photobucket bandwidth limit. I'll put those sound processor pics an another account so they go up.

I just read your whole thread. This project looks great, I am starting a new project (Carputer in 2001 BMW 330xi) and looking for good ideas. It looks like a lot of thought and effort went into this, I love the stock look and the LCD in the trunk. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished product!

How goes it?

It starts to go AGAIN!!! thats how it goes

So, on some side news. I'm starting an actual full-time job . So I'll have some constant money flow, which is just what I need to finnish my car up. So once I start getting my nice big pay checks. I'll go ahead and buy the rest of tho components I've been meaning to pick up.

Back to the car... I started fiber-glassing again last week to the sub enclosure. That should be finished up some time this month. I also have my new mini-itx board, and case coming to me in the mail, which should be here early next week. So I'll have some time to set that up, and get it mounted to the rack.

It feels good to have some nice weather, be *almost* done with school (for the year, one more to go) and back outside, being able to get some work done on the car.

Good to hear, graduated yet? I'm still working on my carpc on my 06 Mazda 3 Hatch Black Mica =oD.

Not yet... one more year. I got a full-time job under the understanding that I will still complete college. Pretty nice cause they have tuition reimbursement
