[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'd love to have the money to do this, but it aint gunna happen, so...

Get a new SP20 protege. Install a plasma screen or LCD in the boot lid, along with some mid-high range speakers, 15" subs, SQ system, DVD player, PS2 etc. Loads of Neons and the like (and a strobe or two), and a bar fridge taking the place of the back seats.

Use the screen for movies (have a drive-in wherever you go), or to do the club thing with fancy graphics dancin round in time to the music, or *SHUDDER* karaoke...

And all of this would be in a nice moulded enclosure, so you just pop the boot, hit the magic button and burst your ear drums, oh yeahhhhhh.

Oh, yeah, can't forget a TV tuner. Can't miss the Simpsons...

What's your dream system?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]I like you status Sandyman. When they said dream system
you really were dreaming when you came up with it

I would like a lcd screen mounted on the roof maybe a
converted laptop or some of that flexible LCD thats up and
coming. Matched with a 12disk DVD stacker, a MP3 drive
and a playstation2 mounted under the seat. Head unit
to have mobile internet so that I can download to the
MP3 drive using DAB. For now whilst the above technology
is not commercially available at a price I can afford I
would like to upgrade my speakers and amp to provide
more clarity and definition. Maybe make a new sub box
fibreglassed into the boot to give me more space for
Joshies junk which is smashing the current subs around.

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]speaking as a guy who has tv/ps2/dvd etc in his car, *I'd just like to add that it really isnt worth the $$. *In my experience, its a cool novelty at first, a fun 'oooh ahhh' from your mates, but the novelty soon goes away and the tv just doesnt get used. Driving with it on is an VERY bad idea :: , the tv reception is never great and sometimes barely visible, and even with my 7" screen its still too small to really get much out of for ps2. *I found that in theory, these things sound cool, watching movies, playing games etc, *but in reality it doesnt happen. *u dont actually sit in your car and watch movies all evening. *People get headaches or car sick from watching the screen pretty quick. *I dont think i'd bother getting a screen again if I was upgrading.


uh... sorry that was kinda serious and away from the 'dream system' topic

my mp3 hard drive is cool tho .... i'd rather have that than a screen next time around

But anyway, as for my dream system , I'm fairly happy with mine at the moment. Speakers sound great, the audison amp is awesome, but the sub and its amp could do with an upgrade. *( with LOTS of more deadening :: )

After I've paid for an upcoming holiday overseas, and the upcoming home loan is running smoothly, *I wanna put 2 x 12" L7 Solobarics replacing the side walls of the boot. Running of Audison mono block amps. *Most likely installed in the boot floor under clear perspex or something.

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Hey Dave,
I hear what you are saying. For me the PS2 and
TV screen are for Josh when we start going on driving holidays
which are the hols I love. Thats why I would like one on the
roof so I could have a decent sized screen which lead to the
thought of the laptop screen mounted on a custom bracket/cradle.
The PS2 would be removed 99% of the time and only put in
for trips or showing off(you know we all do it). Only other
thing I would prob use the screen for would be with a
navigation system which again would work with the mobile
internet if not local on the hard drive.

Thanks for the warning thou

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Don't forget the ECU. My friend has an idea about hooking up a laptop to the ECU on a custom mount bracket (Like mals idea). That way, you can change anything quickly, and see a constant read out. Don't how/if this would work, but you could also use it for PS2, TV and the like.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Didn't you hear he's getting married. *That gets him a full
time cleaner, cook, driver, part time sex goddess etc etc.
The problem with them is the upkeep. They are very very
expensive so probably best to buy all your toys now.... *
Quickly !!

Mal

p.s *Sandyman
The Fast and Furious laptop idea is interesting but you would
only want it on "display only" say with digital guages but not
to change things as you don't really want to be playing with
stuff on the move. *Think how many people break cd's in their
head units by trying to insert cd's on the move. *Don't want
to accidentally up the boost wildly and blow something up
because of a bump in the road. Use a dyno for tuning.[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm thinking Mal is getting confused (or drunk, which leads to being confused). I think in the first half of the msg he was replying to you. The second part was meant for me. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Yes the ECU stuff was meant for you MrShadow I cocked
that bit up. You could tell I directed it to the wrong guy
cause it all went over his head. But I hope you understood
what I meant.
