Anyone know if there is a digital dash available for the MX-3?

You can get digital instruments that are universal but these are not accurate readings as the signal is intermidant so it is almost better to stay with the original unless you just want a knight rider look to impress the ladies

Or, you can get a megasquirt and a car PC

LOL... At my age it will take more than a really cool dash to impress the ladies.

I see there is not much out there for the MX-3. The Megasquirt would be a fun toy to have

I'm not very familiar with it, but it looks like there is an option for a Magaview LCD display that can be incorporated in a custom digital dash. I'm also a fan of the C4 Corvette LCD style instrumentation.

Well, I will keep looking for anything already out there. Meanwhile I'll toy with the idea and if there is enough interest I may start a new project.

Thanks guys. Keep me posted.

i'm going digital in the near future and probably with dakota digital for their quality. for us, it would be about $825 usd for a 5 gauge custom install where you send your bezel and they install the gauges. i talked to them and they said they couldn't do a 6 gauge into our cluster because it wouldn't all fit. i'm probably gonna get a premade 6 gauge cluster that would require some trimming.

the thing i like is all the performance features you get with their systems. like a 0-60 timer, 1/4 mile time and speed, customizable warning points, etc. check it out.

The Dakota products are a good source. The computer is definitely a nice toy to have.

I may end up designing my own digital cluster, if I become motivated enough. Recently I began to look into technical requirements for the task at hand.

I'd very much like to see someone do a custom job on their own car...Keep us posted!

I will update hopefully with progressively good news.

I'm looking for a complete 92 or 93 stock gauge cluster with or without instuments. If anyone has one available let me know. Thanks
