Useless tidbits of my plans for next week.

[swerve]

Well my last day at work is friday... so next week I've decided to finish my trunk.

tonight I hope to tackle making my door panels look a bit better.
then hopefully the trunk will take me 2 days. I have something sweet planned and I'm not going to elaborate.

Also I need to start a simple fiberglass project next week... any info would be appreciated so I can get a good introduction to the concept.... I think there was a tutorial in C&E a few months back so I may try that.

Try doing a search on here for fiberglassing, cause there is a very good link thats been posted on here quite a few times. My home computer is shot, otherwise I would post the link for you.

One quick question. I'm not sure If i'll still glas these. I should most likely wait until i get another job here shortly.

But i'm going to hide all my wires in the trunk... i have a MDF floor built right now and i want to raise it a bit to put the wires under and run them up through holes under the amps end caps.

I would like to use like pvc pipe under the floor to make it nice and clean under there incase i have to pull or route any new wires. you think this would rattle (the pvc that is) i have a few layers of carpet and insulation under the MDF floor so I doubt it would rattle against the floor.any input would be greatly appreciated.

as long as you damp the pipe somehow, it should be just fine.

neo - your focus with CAR PC is wicked.

you're one sick bastard.

I had considered remotely mounting my laptop screen (gut old IBM 760LD laptop, take the screen, run the lines long, mount the screen on the roof with a drop down hinge, do it all clean and ****, and run my own "music keg" - but that laptop is wayyy to old to handle it. its a damn pentium 1

i would suggest only one improvement.

the main power to your computer -- the YELLOW, RED, and BLACK wires coming OUT of hte power supply are simply yellow = 12 volts... red = 5 volts, and black = ground.

you could get rid of the DC to AC transformer, improve efficiency of power usage by about 30 to 40% and reduce AC interference, by simply running all the yellow's to 12 volts (with a 12 volt voltage regulator so it doesn't turn to 14 when the car starts)... the reds to 12 volt (with a 5 volt voltage regulator), and grounds to ground.

"you can do it my son, i have faith in you. wax on, wax off"

i have a AC/DC in my truck for one reason and one reason only -- use of a power drill, dremel multi-tool, angle grinder, soldering iron, laptop, hair dryer, tv/vcr/dvd, etc when in the middle of no where with nothin but my trusty truck and bed fulla power tools - normally i end up forgetting all the power tools though so its completely pointless and serves no use other than for people to be like "what's that little black box?" - and me to be like "baby, you could plug your vibrator in there if you want, its AC power!"

[neomagus00]

um... you sure you're looking at the right person? i'm fairly confident that i don't own a focus, but i have been known to be wrong about such things...

the back tail lights looked like focus ZX3 lights... but i suppose most hatchbacks look like that... what kinda car is it?

[neomagus00]

my car's a 2000 Saab 9-3 Convertible (Turbo)... it has a ginormous ghetto booty...

LMFAO - ghetto booty, eh? hey, some guy like big girls... not my thang, but to each their own.

[AustinKP]

PBD - that fiberglass tutorial isn't Neo's. Maybe that's where the confusion is coming from.

[neomagus00]

ah, i believe that you are right. yes, i don't have dreads. or glassing skillz.

my car is viewable at cardomain if you want to drool at the booty.

[MacLeod]

Im getting quite a laugh imagining you with dreads. :D
