hey murf...to supplement the student grants etc, maybe you should build a few 12v power supplies and flog em on ebay or something!!
maybe even the hairless simian could buy some to run all his neons and stuff!
lol

i wish i had time, got loadsa exams and stuff at the mo

doesnt mean i cant be pissed on a sat night tho

good plan though, must be loadsa monkeys looking for 12v power supplies right now

ebay sucks though, i flogged my home built led boost gauge and didnt even make back the Â£25 it cost me to buy the pressure sensor from the states.

reckon its time i got another turbo and got it pruen modded, aint keen on FWD but i love turbo's

thanks guys, the intention was to get my PS2 to run on 12v for the journey to Scotland so I'll have to keep the inverter

i used to have an invertor in my old car running a playstation. worked fine, all of the other stuff was 12v so ran directly from the car. (video player and tv tuner)

Looks good Adam

Personally I wouldn't fancy fixing the screen to the dash but it is more visable there,and ideal for your passenger to watch whatever, also you probably dont have to keep everything hidden from prying eyes.

the screen comes off and the wires hide neatly in the glove box

The stand for the screen is a sticky pad not drilled
