lol guess i dont have to put up a vote i kinda liked that one as well....
anyhow im not 100 % on codes and what not still getting the knowledge in that area...used to write up codes on my graphing calc for games lol didnt turn out always perfect but hey its good anyhow and i also did some codes for flash 5 flash mx when i was in highschool so i have some knowledge just gotta remember most of it and start thinking etc.....now as far as digital speedos go heres all that i have link wise trying to get as much info as possible and go from there....

but we will see how this goes and stuff going to see if my buddy who is actually really good at this stuff can help out a bit as its a grey area but much like turbos and building engines was grey for me a year or so back once i put my mind to learning it i can acheive it......
more updates to come but gotta see about this digital speedo etc......

Well it be nice to work on it together. I'm going to do more threads and probably order the breadboard and stuff. It be cool to work on the coding over the net. I'm electrical major so I'll try to find someone who is really good at programming cause that digital speedo would be a really good idea and is a very nice on space.

Its more organized and probably a pleasure to look at
Also you can get pretty crazy with lighting if you wanted to
I wanna see this when its done

ccr85 like that foam cutout, may i recommend going with a black foam, or even trying carbon fiber, that would be bad ass.

the foam cutout is just a template to give me some ideas also i guess ill do a quick update i have put the project on hold till i compile some guages and get the ones that i wish to use in the mix just bought a digital temp guage to replace the oe guage so gotta wait for that and looking at combo guages to get the most bang for the buck also a tach speedo guage or still researching a digital speedo.....so until then this projects on hold which is fine with me as its winter time....

project can be on hold but its nice to brainstorm, anyways you can get stamped carbon fiber sheets through most major hobby stores.

yea many things happened including a flood and such and i had to get out of hondas for the time being not all out but me owning any(crv i gave to my mom) and now im back into volvos specifically the rwd 2dr sort lol.....everything will work as if you are putting a integra cluster into your car but you just have separate gauges wired up instead of a circuit board....
