Custom & Economical Laptop Station
Well why not order it? Unless you want to have one custom made its your only realistic choice. Work on something else (like more show mods) and before you know it you'll have the hub and you'll be done.

Just for my peace of mind, one more time... The steering column's are the same right (US Lancer/EVO)?
Theyre callin' me back monday, about availability.
Oooh You feel that?
Yeaaah, dat's what Im talkin' about...
Uuuuh! Ya love dat dont'cha? Huh? yeah? That Off Topic feelin'...
C'mon Show me...
Yeeeah das right...
its pretty nice lil piece to hold your laptop... i just throw mine in the passenger seat. Only draw backs i see, is that it is not easily detachable... and to me seems kind of obtrusive with the big plastic tube on it. but nice job

I just need peace of mind (confirmation) cus I already bought a hub that ddnt fit before haha.
Theres my lil' insecurity.
If you mean the Off Topic thing, it was supposed to sound... eh nevermind.

Not sure I would mount my laptop like this, seems like a lot of leverage against the sheet metal under the dash. Maybe with another point going down to the floor or side of the center hump, just to give it a little more vertical stability. Great job tho
only problem i can see is shiftin, does it in anyway get in the way? does the setup swivel in any way/ i knwo when i war drive, i cant always be the one lookin at my laptop so i use the pasanger to netstumble. neither of us want to be reachin for the keyboard while driving and such. not that im lazy or anything :-D

I dunno... but what would I use or do with any of that?
I usually have my dad help me with such things, Im mechanicaly inclined but when it comes to wiring...........................Have fun, Ill be over here doin' sumtin' or other.
I thought the same thing at first, when I was still searching for where to mount it. That bar I mounted it too is pretty hard steel, and its welded below and up top to the rest of the frame, as one entire fixture, so it actually doesnt budge. I tugged on it even. Trust me this things really strong.
Thanx tho, Im glad you like it

I set it up in a position where the passanger doesnt lose any leg room, where its not up in anyones face, centered enough were the screen can be viewed by all passengers, and ESPECIALLY where I can shift freely, comfortably and without it getting in the way.
I just drive/shift normally, and my passangers have no problem either.
Btw... Whats "War-Driving"?

war driving is walking or driving around looking for open wifi networks to either steal internet access from or perform some malicious activities. there's a whole culture with it too, like when you find an area you tag (spray paint usually) it with special symbols that denote level of security, etc etc
check the laws, using an unencrypted wifi signal is not stealing. WEP and WPA are provided basically as 'do not enter' signs for a WLAN. It is only illegal to use an ecrypted network.



...Know where I can find a Hub Adaptor that fits?
