    raspberry pi and keyboard showed up today... i know i have a composite video in on the back of my headunit, and it does composite out... may not even need a touch screen replacement headunit...

    now to get a decent and rapid os onto it, romraider for logging goodness, a powered usb hub and some way to power the f**king thing in car... hahaha

    What will you use the pi for in your car? (Curious)

    As for power, just fuse a usb charger and secondary lighter plug piece into one power device and wire it in with a fuse. Although with the unit losing power every time you restart the car i\'m not sure how well the filesystem will go :S i\'m sure you could code a sensor with a relay to detect when the car is off and to shutdown the unit safely, and use the usb charger to charge a battery to keep the unit going after car is off for safe shutdown. Although with nix it shouldn\'t be too bad I wouldn\'t have thought.

    Not the smartest idea, but lighter to shrink the heat shrink!

    Think i\'d be too nervous to shrink that above the fuel tank with a lighter lol. Woof goes that petrol.

    Had a spacer thing made up for the MCB, since It didnt come with the factory one.

    Is that the piece that dude from GPforums made? Looking good x)

  3. Had a couple of screws come loose and go walkies on the left side of my bumper (BG gtb) :/

    Have some at home I think, but I need to replace the left side engine cover/under guard pieces since chch road wasted it. Will find some this weekend.

    Question is, do I have to remove bumper to replace these? Is this easy? Just remove lights and so forth? May seem obvious but would rather not fuck anything tbh

    Today I changed both front and rear sway bar links to alloy ones. What I thought was going to be a quick job turned into a good couple of hours as one of the old links had fused to the bolt. I think I may have to invest in a grinder and maybe a dremmel cos cutting the bolt off with a small hand saw sucked!

    I got an okay dremel last year in boxing day sales for like 100 and it\'s been magic to have for all those awkward jobs, definitely recommend

    Cleaned up sump, all that goo!! I disdain the crap, apparently that\'s the OE replacement says the guy from BNT I spoke to on the phone. Anyone clarify? I prefer real gaskets/seals as opposed to gunky shite. Also, what\'s the best way to clean the gunge out of the sump?

    Could clean off the old stuff using a whiz wheel pretty quickly
