Default CarPC back online!

It's been hell since my carpc died, after much spending and time repairing and upgrading my electrical system its finally back online and kicking ***.








Also took the liberty of test fitting the 5 gallon air tank for the suspension.


I have to start building the floor as well.

Im using the roadrunner frontend with the alpine skin. Adding the battery to the trunk isn't that hard, I think moving it entirely to the trunk would be a bit harder since you have to extend all your stock wiring.

I want to add an extra battery to my trunk for amps and other things. I'm using RR as my frontend as well. Just finished working all the bugs out.

Sweet. Yea adding the battery isn't that hard. I recommend doing the BIG3 upgrade and running 0 guage wire from battery to battery.

no problem with the skin itself. i followed the optimization guides and it seems to run pretty well. still have to tweak it some more and disable the things im not using.

LSX void is a nice one to. I haven't had a chance to mess with it. I got the my new wifi card so when I update my music and videos on there ill probably mess aruond with it.

CarPC meet would be sweet.

I tried a few skins on my home computer before I decided on the Blue Devil skin. I like the way the LSX skin looks. I'm also liking the Crystal Blue skin but I havent had a chance to mess with it yet.

funny you mention that because i am using channel 6. wifi hopper will automatically scan and prioritize networks and automatically try to connect to the best ones.
