Thread: 1995 Honda Civic Sedan EX - My First CarPC

damn, i hate u :P

that's exactly what i wanna do

my carputer is still on my bench due to the damn PSU. if i could only get a m2... do u take a kidney in exchange for yours? :P
hehehhe

congratulations, dude! hope a could see it personally some day

What are you talking about? The M2 is all over the place. I got two of them off ebay for 75 bucks each.

You're right I don't live there. What are you saying? that to import one it would be heavily taxed? What sort of tax are we talking about? and how much money? Here in the US the average citizen ends up paying approximately 40% of their income in one form of taxes or another...
And only the illegal immigrants who don't pay taxes, and the people who don't work, get free healthcare...

So, believe it or not, I can understand getting f**ked in taxes too. PM me, and maybe I can help you out.

Hi, the sound is very good! PC is connected to the Amplifier, that is connected to my 4 speakers and the sub.

I lost the fade control (front and hear) that I had when I used the Kenwood HU, but I still have the balance (stereo).

The sound is very loud and no interference/noise.

I bought a cheap PCI card that has TV and FM, will try it, my expectations aren't high for this, I dont listen so much radio (but its nice to have, to listen traffic and news).

By the way, I will start fabrication only then the Intel Little Valley MoBo is here. Next weekend I will receive it together with the new USB GPS. I will take the PC out of the car and take it back to my desk to perform the "upgrade".

Today I posted a topic in "Honda Club" forum, asking for help regarding the Data Logging from the ECU (OBD-I). I found a friend that knows about this subject and he will help me with that.

So far the only solution for me is to buy via the Internet and ship to a hotel where some friend is staying in USA, and he or she take it home to me. I work in Brazil but for an american company, and there is always somebody traveling to USA, if not myself.

Brazillian citizens have U$ 500,00 allowance tax-free when entering the country. If you bring more than that you have to pay high taxes, such as 50% of what exceeds the U$ 500,00.

Ship to Brazil is bad due to shipment costs and even higher taxes (when its a mailed package).

If you have another solution, can you PM me? Thanks!

Heheh... Thanks! Its not ready yet, but I am very close.

But this is only phase 1. I am already planning phase 2 (cellphone, OBD-I, rear-view cam, ...).

Its time to arrange a CarPC Brasil meeting, there is a thread about it here. I guess that most of us are in Sao Paulo, so we can meet in a gas station or somewhere else, someday at night or weekend, and exchange ideas.
