Yes. ISIS already has a 7" touchscreen that can be configured to to operate any switched load connected to the ISIS system. However the ISIS system is not as "refined" as this system seemed to indicate. That being said, the ISIS only system with the touchscreen could still be a very nice...

That might be a difficult question to answer since everyone has different tastes and something like this is highly customizable... That being said, there are probably a few common features that would make using a system like as user friendly as possible for a "basic/standard" setup that would...

That looks real good! Any pics of the "ahead of driver" monitor or is that still in development?

Troy, Looking at your idea, another potential option that might save you some fabrication time, but not necessarily the cheapest option, would be to buy a vented side window from Fran and also get the "cutout" piece that RCR removes when they make the vented window. That way you will have a...

Thanks for the confirmation Fran, I figured those options might be viable based on some pictures I saw of them on some vendor websites. Since I have your ear a bit, do you offer any hardened rubber engine and trans mounts as an alternative to the solid ones? For my M3 street/track car (A...

I had another transmission question for you guys..... I saw in the SLC Wiki that some of the Porsche transaxles, including those in the G50 family, were too long for the SLC and required modification. The modification basically entailed chopping off the back end of the transaxle to make it...

Interesting read....

Ok, too bad. I also read about a few guys thinking about putting a "helicopter" style sliding window to have a closeable window option. After I read it I remembered the windows on the Subaru SVX from back in the '90's...... Hmmmm, I wonder if.......... :idea:

Hmm... Based on post #3 in this thread here I assumed there was a hinged piece for the open lower window option.

Good question. No telling if the ABS pump of the MR2 can handle the calipers of the SLC. One way to find out would be to see what type of aftermarket big brake kit options, if any, are available for this car. Then compare the caliper size/design between the big brake kit and the SLC brakes to...

Can someone post some close up pics of the hinged window, specifically from the inside? I have seen a few threads that talked about them, a few even had some exterior pics of cars with them. The description of them seems pretty simple but I am curious to see them up close from the inside.

Good discussion guys.... Dave, good points and I agree that the the "older, dumber" ABS units are more viable candidates. This unit in particular falls into that category (I thought it ironic that you used a BMW E46 M3 in your example, I actually have one and have tracked it with r-compound...

Wow, $20k? In any event, i know this is not a perfect solution since the MR2 is not a perfect match. But builders (of other project cars) have apparently had some success retrofitting ABS systems that were "close" to the specs of the project car. I think one of the keys is to try to keep...

So as I am researching an SL-C build, I wanted to look at the feasibility of adding ABS and wanted some input from more experienced builders, specifically SL-C builders. What this discussion is NOT is a philosophical one about whether ABS "should" be added to the SLC, that has already been...

Ahhh yes, I remember reading about that issue during my GTM research. I am curious to know what type/brand servo controlled heater bypass valve you are using. The only heater bypass valve solution I have seen is a vacuum solenoid bypass valve. Also, I was thinking more about how to...
