OK guys, there will be LOTS of pics here, and I'll post some more up sometime over the weekend. The car is coming very close to completion now....hopefully within the next week.

OMG! That looks like a lot of work!!! Good job!

 

dam yer car looks like it belongs at the CES or SEMA show....now go get some rims!!

 

DAMN dude. That thing is awesome

 

You gonna buy me some? I tell you what rims....sorry to say, but they're gonna have to wait till next season.

 

Dude, you are HARDCORE!!! I like :D

 

man i gotta get me some rims first...but can't to see yours with some rims...

 

look like you added a cpu in the trunk,nice.what are you going to use it for?DVDs?

 

Its a full out computer....so I'll use if for normal computer duties. All audio/video is handled by the alpine system (CDs/DVDs/MP3s via iPod)
Computer will do voice control, control the lighting, provide wireless conectivity, read from CANscan, write to CanZoomer piggyback, watch DIVX, etc, etc, etc.

 

SharkDiver<----Drulling all over self................

 

^^^^ Hey! Just don't drool on the car! Besides, I do it for the chicks! Guys drool, ladies...umm.......I better leave that one alone, unless slllygrl10 wants to comment! :D

 

Ohhhh LOL I better not say another word

 

^^^ 9 months.....its my baby! :D It'll be 12 months if you count the time from when I ordered the 8, and it was built in Japan and delivered....Oh the joys of parenthood! Insane child support payments, custody battles, visitation rights, etc.

 

..i..hate..you.......now lets play half life 2 in your car :D

 

I'm curious, how are you going to provide wireless internet in your car? Don't you need some sort of landline first? Or is this some sort of cell-phone internet set-up?

 

^^^ 802.11b wireless and 10/100 wired switch with ports throughout the car! The computer can use its wireless connection to act as either an access point for other devices, or connect to other access points. I don't want to pay for cell phone service....too expensive for the amount of data its capable of transfering.

As for Half Life 2....naw, I'll just play on the PS2....or old school NES! Yeah baby! :D

 

802.11b Is oldschool...802.11g is a little faster. I like how you have modified your car. Keep up the good work.

 

Hes right,Make sure you get the 802.11G..

 

yea wireless g is much better..or even better..belkin's pre n...thats the shyt!

 

wow....ok, I didn't think it was going to be such a big deal to warrant a response, but I guess I'm forced to...so here:
1. ASUS makes an addon board specifically meant for the motherboard, that happens only to be 802.11b
2. 802.11b has great distance
3. All my other wireless equipment is 802.11b.
4. No matter what wireless connection you use, none still compare to a wired connection due to the overhead (wanna argue, I have a BS in IT from RIT....you can take my word, we disect wireless networking, as well as work on designing new ones)
5. 802.11b is the most widly available and used wireless standard for hotspots

thus, I use the wireless for simple things, ie web browsing, grabbing small files, checking e-mail, etc. For large file transfers my garage is wired (as well as wireless). Thus, just a quick connection to one of the 10/100 jacks, and I'm onto my home network!

Hope that answers the questions!

 

hows the heating issue for the computer? wouldnt the computer overheat in the hot summer days when temps inside the car would be up there like crazy?
