Knowledge Needed!
Turbo Mini Forums

Heys guys,

Im in my fourth year at Uni now and its time for me to start my Final Year project.

So, ive decided to make my Dash/Console as my project, and theres shit loads of reseach, analyzing, prototyping and shit like that that goes with it. Im also going to be including things like, the internal boot release and little things like that I have made.

So I was just wondering, does anyone know of any sites or books or anything that have stuff like, where the initial design for the Mini came from? Any designs, inspiration, facts and figures.

Any help is appreciated, whether you think its that relevant or not, I wanna see it!

Cheers team,

Ben.

I did what your doing a few years back. Take a good look at what was knoking around in the late eighties early nineties there were a lot of diferent designs and materials used in dash builds.

How about a CAN bus network for the gauges?
