Anyone know? I have a corsa C but pictures of older models would be great. I was thinking about putting it under the passanger seat but then realised it would probably fly around whilst taking corners. I was also thinkin about putting it in the glovebox but then realised if someone were to be playing it whilst i was driving it would fly forward if i came to a sharp stop. Anyone got ideas? Pictures would be great!!

mount it in your glove box mate

i cut a hole in the back of mine so air can circulate around the fan

i think he's got the bulky PS2. no point havin a slim line in a glove box surely? the draw on the ps2 is much better idea than a pop lid in a car IMO.

if its the one with a pop lib you could mount it to the underside of the glove box so the lid opens downwards. or is the glove box a difffernt shape in the C

Mounting the PS2 upside down would not be ideal in any way as the levelling mechanism would be shot and the suspension of the drive would be pulled out by gravity.

I have a ps2 slimline fitted in my 93 corsa B and i mounted it just behind the handbrake with a bit of mdfboard screwed down onto the floor covered in grey sub box carpet this made a perfect place to mount the ps2 and as the base provided with the console screws into the bottom it is ideal to mount in this way because you find a screw with the same thread and put it through the bottom of the mounting plate into the hole on the bottom of the ps2 and hey presto and there is plenty of room to open the disc flap

I have not had a problem with it yet and i have left it in some pretty dodgy places. But that is a thought i didnt have when first installing it i may have to construct some sort of quick release #

bass_junkies how did you fit your screen infront of the gearstick did you make a f/g enclosure covering the little tray thing and also did you need to remove the ash tray
could i see some pics if possible?

As i am looking into putting my screen into a more permenant home

cheers
