give me comments

comment given!

looks awesome, good job!
i wonder if its possible to fit the cluster from a merc cougar? oil pressure/voltage gauge would be nice. only 6k red line thow

hmm turns out this was the wrong video haha the speedo didnt work on this one, will post another one with working speedo

i was reading online that its possible to build little computers that can monitor the mpg of older (obd1) fuel injected cars. they basically work by tapping into an injector signal wire and the speed sensor. between the amount of times the injectors fire and how fast the car is going they are able to calculate mpg fairly accurately. maybe its possible to get get those economy gauges working? if the processor involved in their calculations was built into the gauge and not the ecu all youd need to do is find what wire it needs for the injector signal? if not you could remove that section and install one of these gauges?

some of them are fairly advanced and can record 0-100times, instant mpg, average mpg, battery voltage, mileage till empty and so on. im definitely considering buying one.

great idea, will look into that. finding the same digits & color(well , close to it) would be a + too

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.p ... 20362.html 2nd post on that page. there are supposedly a bunch of diy guides for making your own (i havnt found any yet). that guy builds/sells them and he also modifies his own code. if you were to contact him its very possible he could make you one with a blue display. he shows one on his pictures page but its not quite the same blue as yours.


found a kit you can buy here, you can also select the colour screen you want. http://store.fundamentallogic.com/ecom/ ... 8ab9d04a10

If we could get THIS look, with a 7-8K Redline, I'd be putting other projects on hold to put it in right now... I LOVE the way information is displayed here, especially oil pressure! I love that blue too...

[wertys]

the process would probably be really similar, but the fitting would be more of an a-- than the villager one.

[MrMazda92]

Amen to that. The 6k Tach kills the idea entirely for me anyways. Props for thinking outside the box here! I'm liking this thread all over.

what mikeinaus was telling me is quite doable i think. will keep this post updated as well as the other one(the HOW-TO that i will probably finish tonight)
