    I have to replace my passenger front rotor and new pads all around. Will be picking up a new rotor from Napa and have some Axxis Ult in the mail. Will top things off with a brake fluid flush w/my favorite ATE in with the Gold and out with the blue.

    Washed it & installed rear AP endlinks w/ manufacturer-direct hardware replacement...

    holy stiff rear end batman! Now I really want some front endlinks that fit (apparently Cusco links don't actually fit).

    Pulled the old Carputer out and replaced it. Old one was a P4 Northwood @ 2.8GHz w/512MB RAM. The replacement is a Zotak motherboard with onboard WIFI, based on an Invidia 630i chipset with an onboard GeForce 7100. Not a great card... but much better than the old intel integrated graphics on the P4 board.

    The new one is running an old Core 2 Duo Allendale e4300, 2GB of Low Profile DDR2-677, and a low profile silverstone CPU cooler. I would have really liked to put in a Penryn, but I already had this chip. Also swapped to a laptop HDD from a big 3.5" and that left me enough room to move the Power Supply inside the case.

    It's running like a champ now, much faster and with the new Front End that I just bought it's just awesome. I'm working on getting my MSN Direct receiver with a modified firmware to play nice, and then I've got to build a new skin, or modify the one I built for the previous version of the software. Either way, It'll add Movie times, Gas prices, Traffic, News, and Weather w/o having to use my cell tethering.


    Here are the old components
    [​IMG]

    The PSU mounted to the inside of the case lid. It's quite a squeeze, but it fits :)
    [​IMG]

    The new MOBO & HDD installed
    [​IMG]

    And the whole thing back together. The case is in pretty rough shape after 5 years, and 3 sets of internals, but who cares, it hides under the seat.

    I also purchased a 7dB high gain wifi antenna that I'm going to be stashing in the A-Pillar once the SMA cable extension gets here.

    Nice! I've always been curious about creating a custom computer for a car, if only to store music.

    Seeing everybody else wax their cars made me decide to do the same. I spent an hour soaking a couple exhaust bolts with liquid wrench so i can put on the new axel back tomorrow. Also sanded down the windshield wipers and repainted em.

    Does anybody actually read these? haha
