Thats a horrible thing to do to a nice MCS. By a Civic.

 

Bwahahahahah! I laughed for a good solid minute when I saw that... Driving that thing would be hugely distracting...

 

With all of that a data logger would be more effecient.

 

Hi all -
I have been researching the aux gague topic for awhile now. I came across this cool little LCD display which can display the readings from multiple sensors on one square LCD display. It's small enough to mount in the center console in a 1.5DIN space. This is a marine electrical product but it's made to attach to ordinary automotive sensors.

They have a two-line and 4-line LCD display with up to 8to10 gauge readings. This would be a cool way to monitor oil press/temp, water temp, EGT, and whatever else you want. Apparently the things are completely customizeable via a serial port interface.

From the vendor's website:
I spoke with this vendor about color choices and its possible to get a red LCD at nominal cost. The high-end model is a high-res screen with a pure white-on-black display, over which you put a translucent colored plastic sheet to match any color you want.

Pretty cool. Starting around $300 for the LCD model. You can buy them on ebay. Info at the link below:

I do NOT work for this company; I just found the product. No I have not installed it [yet] but I am planning my little project now ...

(friend) "Holy crap man! How much boost are you getting!?"
(you) "Uhh, not sure....I can't seem to find the gauge..."

I like information from the motor as well, but that looks like something off of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car. A bit too much for me. I'd like to figure out how to put in a Motec dash.

I want the new GP speedo and tahc. Does anyone know if they will be avail? if so, in MPH? would look great in my grey blk interior...

 

HAve you researched Defi VSD? Works with all of the Defi sensor and puts your display onto the windsheild in HUD form, and alows cycling through the displays, don't even have to take your eyes off the road.

 

I hear that you will need a GP vin (proof of ownership) in order to buy any GP parts

 

...thereby creating a lucrative black market for resold goods like this. Why would they do that? Or were you kidding?

 

This is hearsay...but I did hear this...I think MINI is trying to prevent people from creating "counterfeit" GPs...

 

Yup, its nifty, but it's color is blue and not adjustable. Also their website states it cannot display boost informaton [?]. I have not researched it further, I may be incorrect. Disclaimer here, etc.

I plan on doing the Boost guage on the tach mod regardless but was unware of that lacking feature. My main interest is speed and rev display on the windscreen so my eye never need to leave the next apex to check anything.

 

Those witty, bloody bastards!

 

Well I certainly won't add those wheels, and most of us already have more power so counterfit GP doesn't worry me. BMW does this with the exclusive models, but you could make your own fairly easily transparency, printer some wax paper, and if you're up to it LEDs and a red sticker for the needle. The speedo is harder than the tach; I imagine only done the tach on mine, but I think the Speedo is about an inch too big to use 8.5x11 and instead needs something a little larger.

 

Well, I guess if they're going to do a limited production run like this then they should probably limit parts availability. But still...

 

Yea, motor-on, i've been following what you've been doing on your gauges...good work. Hopefully sometime, someone will start making some in different colors. They'd sell like crazy here.


By the way, has anyone installed any gauges having to do with weather, etc.? Barometer, compass, altimeter, anything like that?

 

Sup with your wheel, I think I like it., is it a wheel skin

 

how's this for original:

I LIKE DEFI.
I like very simple interior.
I hate flashing light interior and audio.
they make me irritating.

I am planning to remove audio and install this.
This is the best I think.
Right now I am using Omori meter. Omori is good as well but they do not match the illumination color.

 

Finally got the last three up and running .Now to fill out the application for a pilots licence

 

I conceed...Nice Job

Do the Craven Speed dual pods now come with brackets for Nav or is that custom work?

 

Which one is the G-Meter?

 

The Flex Pods are Deisigned to fit the NAV situation .

In my case though I did a modification to the bracket that is too the set on the right .Craven does not make a bracket that allows you to have a left and right setup with the pods on top .I just Dremelled off the posts and bolted/screwed them to the reverse side of the plate .

Although the pod sets are a little on the pricey side they do allow for some variations which I liked .I will be moving ,I think the Spa Gauge down lower The position as it stands makes the visual effect of the black numbers look faded somewhat

"Heads up" The Cyberdyne Gauges fitted the pods no trouble .The single Spa Dual Gauge needed a slight reeming out of the Diam. on the pod.
2 1/16th= not quite 52mm

 

Yes, there is a Cravenspeed POD for the nav system.
