As topic, got pics? Hard to install?

 

I want to install a LCD display up there, so I'm interested as well.

 

for the driver to watch? or for a passenger to watch?

 

I have seen pictures around,and have some somewhere on my hard drive, I will see if I can find them....it was a pretty simple install. Drill holes for gauges and that was it. No cool custom fab or anything.

 

Zero, have you thought about a lilliput? Just checking that out now to fit in the console...

For the driver to watch...

 

Mine is actually part of a temperature monitoring/multifunction system. It was more just to play around with PIC microcontrollers, and interfacing them with LCD's, but the plan was to put a full temperature monitoring system in the trim near the glove box. Everything from outside air temp, to intercooler temps, A/C evaporator temps, A/C condensor temps, inside air temps, I have about 35 sensors to install. Ontop of that, it will monitor the O2 sensor, help me fiddle around with my AFM readings, perhaps eventually aid in the development of a home-made MAF for my car. It consists of 3 PIC microcontrollers, about 5 A/D converters, a 16MB compact flash card, and a 40x2 LCD display. Really cool setup, just having some programmer issues for my PIC microcontrollers. It will do temperature logging, as well as interfact with my laptop, via the serial port. So, it's as much for the driver to watch as the passenger, but the driver will be watching the data after the fact.

Don't even know what a lilliput is, sorry.

 

Dude! Get a Lilliput, it has a serial cable to interface with a computer, its a touch screen LCD. You can get a micro sized computer and have full PC cabability in the car for NZD1100! Very cool. MP3, DVD, tuning software etc etc etc...

 

This is my friend's MR-2. He used some PVC pipe cut at an angle to point the gauges toward the driver.

 

that looks pretty sweet...

 

Yeah, but my setup is $150CAD, and will be a lot of fun to get going :P

 

i've never heard of a lilliput nz....link? pics?
