Anyone gone digital ?

[Blue_Bullet]

They say the boost gauge isn't accurate !

So I thought maybe digital would be better!

Anyone done this/what you think?

[Blue_Bullet]

OR THESE???

I kinda like the last one, but I would only do it if I could do all the gauges to match. I think having just the one digital gauge would make it look too out of place. Just MHO.

Yes I think you can get !!! Heres a link for the voltage one!

Interresting stuff. Personally a bit too boy racer for the car but still very nice. Personally I prefer the VDO mechanical I currently have as it matches the esprit cluster also VDO.

I think that BM looks cool ! Boy racers cant afford this stuff in th UK

lol unless you mean the US ones from the fast and the furious!!!!


Maybe cool on a Elan with the Metal Monkey Dials???


Not Girl Racer enough for you? lol

did you get my P.M>?

I, of course, don't have extra money for projects like these, but if you want my opinion, I like the looks of the Drift gauges in the BMW. IF I could do them in my elan, I would only do it if I could do the whole dash, including the cluster. Metal Monkey dials would certainly make things more consistent than OEM dials in the cluster, and fancy ones in the FB3 area, but I like things to match personally. It needs a custom cluster with gauges in the same style as these. There was a digital dash available in the Astra, I think, but not quite the same style as these gauges.

I Love this look of the Iridium Gauges but also I am a bit broke at the moment!

I think it will all look the Nuts when i eventually get round to Project Dead Red !Dam just realized my stereo is red too

Anyway I am saving up for some pipes from LGM and a Short Shift at the moment!

Would be nice to see how other members have done it! Please post your pics!!!

Thanks.

Wish I could post some recent pics of my dash but I can't post photos off my iPhone.

It's close but it has changed alittle. Elimination of some switches, reupholstery of steering wheel and othe minor things. Gauges are the same though. As a whole it just got more refined

[Blue_Bullet]

Those red digital ones would look wicked on your car!

I think I will get the blue ones with some blue Metal Monkey dials and heater plate with Blue Lights!

Would like to get the LGM hoses done first though!!!

[lotusgirlmarie]

I actually prefer analogue. Digital is really neat I agree but it just doesn't feel high end. Case in point. Rolex doesn't make a digital watch. The most exspensibe watch the make is mechanical. There's something to be said for that. On my previous exotic car the most advanced bit was the radio. Didn't even have fuel injection but it was still as about crazy as they come. Even by today's standards.

[Blue_Bullet]

I changed my mind now lol

I think i prefer the swoosh ones.

And I dont have to worry about the colour so much! (cheaper too!)

ps
I see LGM's gauges better here-- - - - ----> viewtopic.php?f=39&t=8041&hilit=NEW+GAUGES

What work will I have to do to replace Boost Volts and Oil gauges with swoosh? Easy?

is that digital??...
I thought it was like the old signs at the railway station where the numbers 'flip' over.....

I also like to see you get that score board on your wrist....

lol Glad you see the funny side too!!!
