could you put a horizontal cross brace in there to help support it? It wouldn't eliminate the possibility of cracking, but it would certainly help with minor flexing. You could even shape the brace a little bit to give the plexi a bump up in the middle so it doesn't sag.

his speed3 is a p5 at heart ;)

Yeah for real... The worst part about my school is I'm convinced the kids go to junkyards and pick out the rattiest looking mid 90's civics and mark2/mark3 gti/jettas and fit rims and a grill or bumper and and exhaust and crank around the parking lot. My school has a Honda automotive program so...

It's gotta be a standard. I've driving an auto for the last 4 years after my first car of under 3 months being a standard and I really want a standard again. I've looked at all the standards, the one in hookset (red one) was a rust bucket as is with no service history. The other manual one in...

So the place I was gonna buy the car from, SOLD IT. to someone other than me. But a local place got one in from the auctions with 60k on it and they're asking $8k so I'm gonna go check it out see how it looks. On the one hand I'm kinda bummed that I'm not gonna get the car, but at the same...

I'll buy your MP3 if you throw in a p5 conversion kit ;)

Interesting. I'm gonna be going up to the mountains a lot this winter so I definitely need some winter tires, my mom has all season tires and they work with anything less than an inch of snow on the road, and I'm thinking about moving out to Colorado to the Denver/Ft. Collins area so if I hit up...

if I had one of those mounts I'd have to figure out a good way to route the wire. I'm not a fan of a wire hanging down in front of my deck that will inevitably get caught when I shift. A nice in dash GPS would just look SO much cleaner. But I do like the pocket you get with a single din deck.

As long as you use a good waterproof sealing product, have some slight convex shape to it and doesn't depress in the middle I wouldn't think you'd need to worry about drainage. You might be able to coat it with something so it beads up and slides off better.

Yeah I've got the cable coming out of my glove box so I just disconnect it to update and change songs and such. I can control it through the head unit, but 16,000 artists takes a long time to cycle through. And while the nav is worth it, I'm not sure if it's worth buying a double din unit when...

one of, if not the, main reasons I would get a double din is for navigation. I'm tired of popping my GPS into the windshield just to have it pop off just before a crucial turn. I'd use an ipod capable head unit so I can just control my ipod from my ipod, which is what I have now, if I don't end...

yeah I just scoped out prices a little, and they're super expensive... I currently have the deck and the pocket underneath it like how hank has, and I kinda like the pocket, but I might splurge and get a real nice double din. We'll see though. Depends how much I throw into other mods.

not yet. hopefully this weekend ill be the proud owner of an 02 pure white p5 and my very own build thread!

The kid sitting next to me in class asked if I did anything other then look at Mazda's. I showed him some pics of people's cars and was like "uhhh these are super sexy, no?" and his response was "I don't like cars. They're nothing more than transportation." Love the car man, spring time...

yeah i'm definitely gonna replace that deck. Looks like sheeet. I'm thinking about getting a double din deck though maybe some in dash GPS action...?
