So it has been a while so I thought I would drop in and set up some picture of the longest running build ever...yup starting year 28 LOL
Here is a like to what has been covered in a past thread.
And here is a Diagram of where I'm going
Head unit: Alpine IVA-D310
Processor: Alpine PXA-H701 & RUX-C701
Changers: 2 x Alpine and 2 x Alpine
Video switcher: Alpine VPE-S431
Amps: Alpine PDX-1.1000 and 3 x PDX-4.150
Tweeters: 5 x Dynaudio MD100
Mid Ranges: 3 x Dynaudio MD140/2
Mid Bass: 2 x Dynaudio MW160
Sub Woofer: 2 x JL Audio 12W6v2
Rear fill: Dynaudio 240MKii
Work on the dash
Well it's a start...
Here are some pictures of the Porsche ABS system, control arms, and calipers and the mock up pan to work some of this out
The mock up pan
Porsche 951 ABS CPU & Control pump
Complete Porsche 951 turbo rear suspension with abs
Extra Control arms...The Porsche version are aluminum instead of steel so they are less than half the weight. The two Porsche arm with rotor and calipers weight less than one VW unit with shoe brakes.....
So I will be working on the dash this next few weeks while I save up for some tools I need for the ABS system So more pictures soon...I Hope
So Dave the air is kinda thin up here. You wouldn't have some extra O2 would ya...

Bob SAID you were bordering on insane! I never REALLY believed!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I was hoping that someone would like to see what is going into this build. It's actually still a year and a half away from completion if things go well...and money is there. BUT with the price of gas...
Like I said the next set of picture will involve the dash again which for this group will be more interesting I think.
Any other thoughts?
