did you go ahead with the shark fin?

nuts dude. IMO too much electronics for a car. But it seems to suit you rather well which I am very happy that it turned out good for you, you did a good job. If you could just get up off your ass and fix the windows problem.

I've decided it isn't software... the SSC is hitting a spike of low voltage and going into emergency shutdown mode as soon as windows starts. I can sit in the bios all day long, but as soon as the computer actually starts doing something, it draws current and dies. The SSC i have is rated for 90 watts and 6.3 amps, which matches what the computer says it needs, so one of two possible situations are going on here. Either my computer is drawing too much current with just an hdd, cpu, and ram, which i doubt, or the wires are too thin bringing a constant 12v from the battery. I'm gonna hook up a multimeter to it tomorrow and see if i can figure it out.

No, I most definately do. heh, we're approaching 7 months.

Trust me, both are expensive (car and gf). haha. I think gf is probably more so than the car.

If you can find it for 1150, let me know and I'll buy it all day long.

It retails at hifi buys and most places for between 1900 and 2k. I paid a bit less than that for it.

So yeah, my night ended with my trunk sparking and smelling like burnt computer. I'm very scared. At that point I unplugged everything and said "tomorrow".

I hope it wasn't anything serious.

Awe! A sign of too many electric mods @ the same time. Hope it's okay! :tyype
