cleaned it up a little today.. looks much better drilled a hole under the rear strut bar so the power wire runs underneath the interior panels.. and configured my carPC to connect via wireless 802.11g so I don't need the ugly blue ethernet cable anymore..

This thread is the epitome of why Mikes car should be the winner of the best Z on the boards contest and yet there is sooo much more! You guys should all go cast a vote his way.

I love waking the dead.
Mikes car is every bit worthy. He has so many subtle but trick mods like this one that go unnoticed in that contest thread. Its a sick car.

Most people who have carPC's (myself included) use touchscreens for most things. He mentioned earlier that he had a touchscreen.
As for me, I have a touchscreen for the basic functions, along with an onscreen keyboard, and if I need anything crazy, I have a mini bluetooth mouse, and a mini bluetooth keyboard that I can pull out. Being wireless, they will work anywhere in my G, and even about 5-10 feet away, if need be.
