Looks like some Back to the Future or KNight Rider **** right there. I am still partial to the MoTec dash :)
Looks pretty sick none the less!!!

Hmm I'll pass on the Luke Skywalker interior. :D

Give me an oldskool spartan & analog British sportscar type setup and I am happy.

[metalman]

Or something like this...yummy. :D[/align]

^^Those look good too!
But, eh, I guess I just like my electronics... :)

[metalman]

To me the whole electronic approach doesnt work well in a Miata, it looks 'added" and like it 'doesnt belong'...however, there are platforms suited to it. Well, thats my opinion. :D

[RotorNutFD3S]

True. That's one of the main reasons I never added a GPS unit in the Miata. The flip-out screen I have is enough in there, and it's hardly ever open.
That setup doesn't look too bad in the MR2 though. It'd really look good in a newer Supra, with that long, swept down center console they have. Of course, sitting in it could probably be compared to sitting at the helm of the Starship Enterprise.

I think the back to the future stuff would work well in a Caddy STS.
It has the right lines for it. I would rock one too. :D

I had a CarPC for a couple years. it was straight gangster. I ripped it out one day for some maintenance, and the hard drive and DVD quit working, Something on the IDE channel fried them... I ended up scrapping it all since I needed the money for a new engine. I may do it again, but I doubt it.

[MeFryRice]

It's a too much IMO. If I were to replace my gauge cluster, it'd be for a Stack cluster! :D

[GraffitiPanda]

cool... but ill stick with simple upgrades... thats just overwhelming.
i posted up in the A/V section my miata project.
its coming along well... i cant even hear the wind when i have the top down... and thats without the light weight sub i might add by polk.

then ill do some nice MOMO accessories (steering wheel, shift knob, seats, belts, etc).

keep it classy not over done.

So what happens if the computer crashes?

You can't tell the officer how fast you were going...
