The first interior mod was a short-shifter from Cobb:
Then came the 7" LCD bezel, courtesy of LGT member BMac1203, along with a JDM info-panel relocation kit:
Then of course I needed a place to put a PC to drive the LCD. I built a shelf from 1/4" HDPE, attached to couple of 3/4" slabs of HDPE that are connected with a hinge:
The laptop is a HP 530 (refurbished, $500ish), to which I soldered a remote power switch, controlled by the "W3bm4st3r" auto-on module. I stuck several 4" sections of weather-stripping to the underside of the laptop to absorb shocks and vibration, and a small bungee cord at each corner holds the laptop in place. The laptop has a cooling fan intake on the bottom, so it needs to be lifted above the rack for airflow. I also really like the "floating" idea (no firm contact between the laptop and the car), but I am not 100% sure about weather stripping for vibration absorption since it seems to be packing down over time. I'll update this if I find something better.
The bundle of bricks toward the front of the car contains a
12vdc-120vac inverter, the laptop's 120vac-19vdc power supply 12v-19v power supply, and the auto-on module. It ran fine on the 120v inverter but the very idea always kinda bothered me.
I kept a lot of open space on the left for an amplifier.
