no, it was a fuel line that the dealer didn't completely tighten when he had his engine replaced a week before. it's a good call on taping up the connections, we don't know how much fuel or oil spewed all over his engine bay or if there is any left. don't want another fire...

This is a good solid system (I know I picked out the mobo/cpu). Very quick, hibernates and resumes very fast. Considering the amount of custom work and labor that went into this, it's a very good deal and a very CLEAN setup.

I won't help anyone with the install. yes it can go on the internet. I don't know what the d3 unit is.

$650 for the system and $350 for the monitor/mount
(system includes gps, car2pc, blah, blah, blah...)

I will only part them out in this configuration and only if i have two interested parties. If one person backs out, I won't sell the other half. If you've already paid, you'll get a 100% refund.

saweeet. Ok so it looks like we are good on the splitting up.

Rodger can you split it up and ship him the mount and me the screen also? Just so i dont have to pay shipping twice

RX8YA if you can pay for the unit today, go ahead

Czar if you can pay for the mount today, cool ( ask rodger first a price shipped)

And i can pay today for the remaining price for the screen, i figure somewhere around 250...

I don't mind answering simple questions, I just to want to get suckered into installing this. Is this kit plug n' play? no, it's not.... but it's as close as your going to get for a carputer.

You will need to run a constant power wire and an ignition wire. The ignition wire can be tapped from the rear power outlet. The constant can be tapped from the bose amp. you'll need a ground... that can be tapped to anything metal in the car.

You'll need to run the steering wheel controller cable to the radio. This also handles the sound.

you'll need to mount the gps somewhere. The back deck doesn't work very well because of the rear defroster. Dash board works great, you'll need an usb extension cable.

you'll need to install the monitor and run the required cables....


i'm sure there is more, but thats the general idea.


I will reply to your pm shortly.

Unfortunately, RX8YA had to back out for now for understandable reasons...

however, wankelbolt expressed interest.

I should also mention that I upgraded the motherboad, cpu and ram in June of this year. The hard drive has 2-3 years left on the warranty.

If I had the technical know-how on how to install this awesome puter I'd be all over it... I can build custom PCs all day but having to wire everything in the car is completely over my head. Sorry to hear about your car. I remember now that this is the thread I saw about your 8 getting burnt up. Good luck with the sale!
