Heh that pretty cool mate, I was looking to do something along those line with mine since it has a screen in but is a jap import and not much use apart from the climate control stuff. No idea how to plumb it in yet though. The japs like to be all mysterious when it comes to this particular unit.
So it is cool, but running XP hmm not sure on that one :P
XP rocks, stable as hell, and does everything I want.
You could run a Linux variant if you want, but the apps arnt there for linux yet

If you had said that a few years ago it would have been quite good but the last
2 editors have taken the mag and dumbed it down a bit. Still I'll get a copy when you are in.
Oh and are you using the 2 VGA outputs from the GF FX card? (Well it's 1 digital isn't it)
If you have up to date detonator drivers I don't see why you can't use the nView to run the monitors separately for the front and rear (though you will struggle to get both to play DVD's) you would need to set the primary display to the screen or screens that you want to play DVD's & games on).
At the moment the FX card is running Clone screen via rca out, and the front is via VGA.
I will however be using the FX for the rear and the onboard gf2 for the front, 2 seperate cards, bit overkill having a Geforce FX 5200 128mb ddr in your car, but hey there only like 60 quid now, in the house on this pc I run a ATI 9800,
Pictures being taken on 11th Novemeber, I have asked to remain Anon bar my first name, as I dont want the RIAA knocking on my door lol.
Cheers Ron
Look out for the black van with the boom mic hanging out the back when your crossing the Severn bridge then, they might be tracking you, you know.

Has it crashed, then?
Its always easier though carl, when you have a newer car, remember your the one who got me started on this :)

Nothing to do with the thread but, as a skoda fan you may want to have a look at these mods :)
Ah the Olds engined Skoda. Yep, know that site well.
I do know a couple of guys with Lancia/Afa/Fiat engined ones, but they stuck them out the rear where they belong.
Very tasty. The standard box will handle about 130BHP, while the straight cut box will handle 150BHP, but the crown wheels are more fragile.
And 130BHP in a car that originally came with 65BHP, and has had all aditional weight (seats, carpets, soundproofing, glass windows replaced with perspex etc) is a bloody fast car. Especially when it has a close ratio box, with a quick shift lever, and fully independant suspension, 4 pots up front, and an allup fully fuelled weight of about 760 kilos (marginally more than a reliant robin).
Big Dave recons he's running 800BHP lol I can't wait to see him at the pod with that thing.
