'02 Chevy Tracker: Trying a plan for once

**detlion1643** · 02-26-2011, 05:26 PM

Well, I finally got some stuff in and figured I'd throw an update out here. Got everyone in except for the touchscreen, it should be in by Monday... Tracking said it sat in CA for 4 days after UPS picked it up

!? Maybe they didn't feel like shipping it? Never liked UPS, but oh well, a couple more days

First components: Mobo/cpu/heatsink/lights/m4/fan/hdd

Second set of components: Mobo/cpu/heatsink/lights/m4/fan/hdd/wireless receiver/gps/molex activated relay for m4 pulse and always on manual momentary switch... I'm not sure if leaving the gps enclosed in here will cause issues, so I didn't run the cabling for it yet, any opinions on that?

Plexiglass casing to surround the components (remember, I have no fab skills and threw it together real fast, not caring about professional look for now):

So has there been any updates yet! This looks like it'll be an interesting install.

Nope! But in a good way, I got a different vehicle now, '05 Rav4. Got my install about 3/4's of the way done. I have a log on the rav4 forums, and will do one here when it's done. I still have all the information and pictures too.

About the project in this thread, it was interesting. I configured it so the blue led's would light up with the music sounds. The touchscreen was never finished being mounted, and thus was stolen (my fault though for being stupid about it).

What did you use to stick the pieces of plexi together?

Just some super glue, though it said on the package it was made for plastics/etc... Got it at the local lowes/hardware store. Works ok, I used too much and you can see the glue spread out some on the plexiglass. Otherwise, it worked well though.
