Need Interior Pics for possible project

Anyone with some good interior pictures of their RX-7, please post them..

After doing some research, I decided I am going to purchase an RX-7 in the near future.

I have this insane plan for my car..


I want to set up a Computer of sorts. After a little searching around, I know this can be done..but I am want to see some actual pics of the interior so I can see how I can accomplish this. (ie: LCD screen placement etc..)

Thanks.

You've got a double din dash (ie 2 radio receiver hole openings). That's plenty of room

There's 6 different styles of guage pods, so you're covered there (corner dash, pillar arm, mickey mouse, logicon replacement & logicon viewable, 2nd DIN slot in dash, steering wheel, steering column surround, ultra slim dash mount pods, etc..)

Were you asking about syling pics as well?

I dont get it, a computer in a sportscar It defeats the purpose of having a wellhandling car, putting that kind of excess weight in it, that is.

Actually, your wrong there. What I have planned wont add all that much weight...Besides, where in my post did I mention anything about having a fast car ?

Just needed some pictures of the interior...thanks for all the help guys.

I was going to do the same thing in my FD before i was forced to sell it. it is pretty easy to do except that it is almost impossible to find a double din touch screen monitor. i've been looking for 2 years and haven't found much. i was going to run the stereo, haltech (or similar), vent controls, internet access, cell phone, gps etc all through one computer and have a touchscreen to access it all. and a wireless mouse/keyboard combo just in case

Thats fairly close to what I am putting together currently..


mini ITX mobo/case
dvd drive
wireless everything
8' LCD screen

etc...


I dont really care if the screen can fit in the double din space...i figure they either have a converter of some type out their somewhere..and if not, it can be mounted in other places too...

see i dont just want an mp3 box..i wont a mobile theater..playing divx movies in my car would be pretty cool. Plus a little Quake3/Counter Strike would be fun as well...

anyways, any suggestions on LCD screen placement ?

This is probably the most hightech interior I have seen:
