Re: www.arkspeedracing.com - ARK PERFORMANCE
Earlier today I was looking at the Autotap OBDII scanner, which shows all kinds of useful information like engine rpms, O2 sensor readings, etc. If someone wanted to, they could build a small computer and put it in the trunk or glovebox, then hook up the OBDII scanner, and run the video output to a small LCD screen mounted up front somewhere. It would be a neat way of having some fancy looking gauges.

As far as I know the Pioneer unit has more of a G-Tech type system built into it. I have never personally installed one, so I do not know if it taps into your OBD-II. But, it has G-forces, Speed, Incline and stuff and I know that is not done through OBDII. It does not display anything like fuel, air/fuel, pressures, etc.

Re: Eibach from ebay
I know it would be expensive, but you could also use the computer to store and play mp3 files, DVDs, or whatever. It's just something I thought up for people with too much money.

Re: couple intercooler questions
actually, it wouldn't be all that expensive.
You would need a small form case like a shuttle (probably the most expensive part), a decent processor (no need to go top of the line) if all you're going to do is play MP3 and run one or two programs, and a convertor to supply power.
Basically, build it to the minimum requirements of the autotap program, and you'd be set.
The case and the screen would be the only expensive parts.
of course, if you want to play MP3's check out www.nero.com, great burning software, and you could buy the unlimited MP3PRO plug in (I have it). MP3PRO actually compresses MP3's to HALF of a typical MP3 files original size. A normal MP3 file is ~1/10th of the original CD track file size, an MP3PRO file would be ~1/20th of the original CD track file size.
Now I don't really know about compatability, but then I have ONE CD burned w/ all PRO on it, and it works in my Sony changer......
