I am wondering what you guys think i should do with my rex.... it needs a few rust spots fixed and then needs painted, but after that i am wondering should i go all out on my interior? I have a 7" tv i was going to put where my radio is and then ruhn 2 10" JLs when the storagebin used to be. I was going to add a pc in my car inplace of the radio. i figure the interior job will be around 700+ after the costof the pc itself. What do you guys think?

 

no

 

Sell the 7" tv and use the $700 a buy a nice tv for your living room...you'll use it a ton more.
If you already have a nice tv..then buy a nice 5.1 stereo...already have that...Buy a Xbox...already have that...buy me something.

 

i sold my xbox. ... i bought a nice 38" tv and fixed it...... i bought 5.1 the first week it was out about 7 years ago with all my allowance :-D.... sorry im gredy.....

 

i think i might be able to get the project done for about 250+ now .. .. . .opinions still?

 

TV in the car is useless. Just stick with a standard CD/MP3 and radio audio system...

 

got cd/mp3 player

 

Good... Stick with that... Burn your cash up elsewhere such as engine performance upgrades, a few days at the track, or some race school sessions...

The car is for driving, not for watching movies.

 

that engine takes too much money to make it fast........ the only thing i would concider is SCed or N2O

 

buy a honda lol man this cars for driving .....DRIVE IT!!

 

so the general concenses is NO dont do it.... well there is much left todo to my engine other than forced induction, which would destroy it. So i guess i could try and sell allmy junk and hopefully somebody buys my rex on ebay bidding starts sunday!!

 

Port it.

 

you can get a good port job done for $700 professionally, or do it yourself and put your money into other engine mods.

What engine do u have, im guessing the stock 12a? save a bit more for the 13b transplant, then port that.

 

i believe it has been ported, and i dont feel like doing an engine swap and loosing half my upgrades.

 

so no one thinks "hey that would kinda be kool having a pc in your car..." ?

 

In a sedan, or something like my pickup truck, yeah... That'd be cool... But in the 7, nah...

 

Sure, put a navigation system in for when you go cruising on the twisty roads and get lost

 

After you buy your 13b first, you should rig a camera to your comp to capture peoples faces when you blow past them.

 

Dude,
you can put what ever you want in your car, some put 12 and 15inch sub enclosures in theirs.
The pc could replace your cd, and hold endless music, not to mention the navigation sys.
If your'e stuck in traffic, or waiting for someone or something you can watch vidio/tv.
I wouldn't do it , but I think it be cool.

 

Get an Escalade, yo.

 

that just sounds too fast and furious for me.. but to each his own.. I say if you have a purpose for it then go for it.

 

I think it would be cool. But not really my style (and I like F&F). But I would say just stick with your CD/MP3 player and make that sound good. $700 would give you a reasonably good SPL system.

 

well, im going to do it anyway :P i got most the materal to do it for under $200 it just wouldnt be as nice as i hoped. as for the 13b i have so many 12a things on my car it would be a waste unless i toast my engine. first i will have the car painted then i will start to customize it out......

:d

 

Heh, I'm in the same boat. 2 extra 12a's, 3 extra 5spd trannies, 2 extra gsl axles and I believe 3 full sets of wheels plus two extra. I just can't justify going to a 13b or an GSL-SE suspension yet until I wear out all those parts

If you put a PC in there, make it wireless so you can upload and download your music/video without stringing cable to the house.
