Mp3Car.com - Sydney Meet
Photo's displayed below are reproduced with permission. Don't be a stealer.
Sunday, February 20 2005: So we finally had a meet. The venue was significantly better the week before - there wasn't a soul to be seen.
Never mind.
By my count (correct me if I'm wrong), cars that made an appearance on the day (and that had a system in of some form) belonged to:
With significant others, friends and tire kickers, it was quite a healthy turnout.
If there are any other photo's that should be here - email me and I'll be happy to include. Meddler - we need a photo of your very fancy computer 'case' for the collection :-)
Update - 2005-02-28: Meddler has come through with some pics of his install, including his one-of-a-kind Zip-Lock-Tek enclosure. |

Samis' Mazda RX-4 |
|
A 19" monitor mounted in the boot. Yes - there is a linear actuator driving a hand-made scissor lift that drives the screen up and down. Did I mention that this is a show car?

The interior of Samis' RX-4. Sit still long enough in this thing, and you'll get wrapped in leather or suede. A pair of screens in the visors, a pair of screens in the back of the drivers and passengers seats, and... |
Samis - when you get a web page together, let me know and I'll link to you. There are a lot of special little tricks in this car, including a customised shaft radio (with working re-programmed buttons, remote control power, and so on).
No wonder it's a chronic trophy winner.

What 591hp looks like at rest...

C4M's Subaru WRX |
|
It would appear that most of the interest in my installation related to the installation of the Xenarc screen, and here are a few shots from different angles.
The box in front of the shifter contains the power and reset buttons - albeit only temporarily.
I'm in the process of documenting the build in the Subaru, so there are a lot more pictures to come...

Meddler's Toyota Hilux |
|
Nothing screams "I love my CarPC" more than Meddler's enclosure. Hidden under the jump seat in the back of a Hilux extend cab, and made from the box which has Opus power supply was delivered in (note Ziplock's ample application of stamps).
Meddler has a number of serious plans for this ute, some of which have only just begun, and are so subtle that Hilux enthusiasts missed them (read: I was too keen to see the famous stamp covered box). |
Xenarc screen installed the factory supplied "I-haven't-got-to-the-fancy-installation-of-the-screen-bit-yet" adaptor.
