[MrPikolo]

What ya all think? I am trying to make something that I can put in the dash to make my interior look stock.

I personaly really like digital gauges and if you cut out your stock oil presure, fuel and water temp it will look pretty nice. I dunno how acurate or reliable they will be however. I would stick with the name brand Delfi digital gauges, however they are pretty pricey.

Two things:

'Way too goddamned expensive -and all the more so, considering what it costs to make digital compared to analog.

Second, and most important, is that you not only don't need digital for most automotive values, you don't want it. You really don't need to know what the oil pressure is, other than "enough" (Thank you, LJK Setright). Omigod, the pressure's usually 73.6psi at this rpm, but now it's 66.4! What do you do, stop the car and rebuild the engine? It's still plenty. Same for all values other than road speed (which, if accurate, is a much _better_ setup than a needle).

Otherwise, I've had a car with a GameBoy dash, the '84 200SX is an all-neon display. It was set up pretty well, with everything other than the speedo being bar gauges.

they have reasonable prices, I mean an autometer is $50 so $89 aint bad at all.

you should look at the delfi H.U.D. (heads up display.) I have one and its totally worth the money its so cool how it projects the speed oil and water on your window! Check it out its sick and will look stock.

 

[STECARS]

do you see it from outside the car also , or just the inside?

 

[pradamike]

where do u get a h.u.d display that sounds tight
