I need other peoples advice...

I think it's a good idea, but Damo thinks it's shite.

I want to put a flat LCD screen in the car, at the bottom by the gearstick and a slimline PS2 in the glove box. I think it would be good for when you are at shows etc and there is nothing to do, or for when you are on a long drive. Whack on a DVD instead of listening to the same old songs on the radio.

I know my car isn't really that kind of car, as I kinda want it to be quick, not for show.

Damo thinks it's a bad move. What you think???

 

if you like it, do it m8...


im sure it will add to the dogs danglies of a dash you already have


doubt a slim ps2 and a tiny tv are gonna make it un-slow

 

im also going for the same thing fast but with a few comforts even though im gonna use mine for track etc

best bet is go for an alpine flip out in dash screen rather than fixed lcd, & the playstation in the glove box,,,,,

looks ten times better imho,,,,picked mine up on e-bay for Ł300 (fooking bargain)



especially with all your gauges & stuff,,will look ultra trick at night

 

I would be shit scared of someone nicking it. - but thats just me!

 

Spend your money on track and safety mods IMHO

Leave the games for when you get home.... you can't play them if your injured

Boring I know - but Im with Damo.. but its your baby Tony

 

Thought about that, that would be ideal, but decent ones cost about Ł800 upwards. I can make the car go alot faster for Ł800 LOL


PMSL @ Adam


It would be moulded into the dash of course

 

as edited above

got my in dash flip out cd/radio screen for Ł300 on e-bay

right place right time i spose

 

tony its against the law to had a screen in a drivers vision when vehicle in motion

also a screen soooo low is shite too as its like watching tv siting on ya sofa with ya tv on the floor

get a flip out and locate the headunit ya got to the bottom with the amp and tape holder ya get in a orion ghia

 

tony speak to rans about a flip ot screen thats not a headunit, he can get em quite cheap

i got my alpine in where the heater vents go on me cossie as there was a issue with instalation on it

 

It won't be in my line of view though...

I guess I agree with you about the postition, might be too low down...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm


M K - Bargin mate

 

Sorry m8, but I'm with Damo, with regards to the theft of the screen, if you can't nick it, break it. You can't watch The A - Team on a smashed screen.

I have often thought about doing the full screen action, 1 in each headrest, I on the head unit, awesome surround sound for it, and I would quite happily drive around with 80's Nostalgia, The A-Team, The Dukes Of Hazzard, and gentlemen's art for special show's and stuff, but again, it's the security of it

 

tony anylocation where ya can actually see it makes it a offence unless it has a handbrake switch fitted ( there a earth btw if ya wanna bypass it, not a posative !!!!!)



what about a roof mounted screen or 2 screens in the sun visors


actually a mate of mine has 2 2ins screens in his outside heater vents, they aint the best to see but it sets the car off

 

But I don't see why someone is more likely to steal a Ł100 screen, than they are to steal my million Ł worth of gauges?

You of all people should know my car never leaves my sight when it's out

 

tony car theive nick things that sell quick, kids also nick strange things too


but in saying that my screen aint been kicked yet

 

NO!

 

Absolutely not.

I'm hoping you're gonna do some runs at the Pod, some action at Brunters, and maybe even a track day or two.

What the hell do you need a PS2 for?

 

So you can play GT4 whilst queuing for the pod. Would be good if you could mount some camera's in the car, and show it on screen

 

no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

TBH i wouldnt fit a screen, i mean you dont want to be out at a show and playing GT4 on the PS2 and for other people to actualy witness me whooooopin' you around every track now would you

I think if you had of gone for a "show" car then LCD screen would be a must, but your have gone for more of a Mint "Motorsport" style so imo its just not in keeping with the whole style of the car.

 

Tony......

 

Erm Tone.................

 

I wouldn't.. it is only something else to come flyout out the dash and smack you in the face if the worst happens!

b19bal, it is only illegal if it is playing a film or tv. Look at just about every new car, they all have screens in the drivers view and they don't turn off when you start moving, they just display sat nav/radio info/air con stuff etc

 

FPMSL

So that's a no then?



Rich - I can't wait to thrash it around Brunters and Bedford


Thanks guys. No screen it is then. I always have the laptop to play DVD's I guess

 

NO

I done this years ago.... all in the pimp mobil now

 

No need to brag

 

no its illegal IF it can play a film or tv in the drivers veiw when moving !!!!!

trust me on this one

satnav is the only exception as the rest have fixed picture when doing it so it dont distract the drivers attention

the sat nav is a driving aid though like a speedo, rev counter and requires browsing over not actually looking

 

Tony tony tony....whatever next, neons? subs in the boot? Don't go all MaxPower on me!!!

 

 

PMSL @ Max Power



As if


I think I will just use the laptop then. I do need to have some switches in the car so they will go by the gearstick instead then.

Thanks for your opinions all.

 

Straight to the point

 

WTF is the point of TV in a car???? i never got that one..
If there's nowt to do at a show, why are you there?? lol
If i want to watch TV i've got a nice big one at home and a sofa... If i want to go for a drive, that's what I use the car for..

 

PMSL @ Doggin

 

ROFL @ Rudey!

Don't do it mate, can't watch DVD's whilst your going along anyway, trust me i've tried, hard!

 

yeah why not something to play when ya bored at shows etc etc or just watch porn

 

*cough*poof *cough*


Told you it was a bad idea


RE the theft business... If a little scrote loooked into your car for pickings.. they know a screen is worth ŁX... but to them the guages could only be shitty Ł10 each things for all they know...

 

 

Ok ok ok I get it already...



Jeeez.......





PS2 it is
