Yeah, doing that to a delorean is a crime.
- Dodgy Motor - 06 Feb 2008
Trust you :wink: I said "APART FROM THOSE WHO THINK ITS A CRIME", that wasnt very helpfull Dan
- Dan6457 - 06 Feb 2008
Sorry couldn't resist :lol:
You would need some kind of device on the wheel to give an electrical signal to the speedo....
- Dodgy Motor - 06 Feb 2008
yeah they have whats called a transducer. it normaly plugs ito where the speedo drive goes in the gear box, and converts it to a pulse, but I dont know if the ratio is anythig like a D's speedo drive speed,

You better not have bought an early MG Maestro/Montego to nick all the digital dash components Allen!
- Dodgy Motor - 06 Feb 2008

- Glen & Sam - 06 Feb 2008

hahahahaaha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: PMSL - Brilliant guys!!
I think Phill had a digital dash from a Mk2 Astra GTE - he wanted to adapt
it to go into the Sera, but it wouldnt work.
I quite like digital dashes myself, very 1980's
I loved the digi dashes onthe 3.0 Senator's - dead cool

At least a digi dash would stop the comments of "oh, it only does 85mph"
when people look in the car :wink:
- Dodgy Motor - 07 Feb 2008
Well thank you Claire, I m glad someone doesnt see it as a act of vandalism :? on the 85 mph issue I could make it so you flick a switch and it displays 88 contsantly,,, :lol:

Go for it, sometimes it refreshing to turn up at a DeLorean meet and see something
a little out of the norm, having said that your D isn't that subtle anyway
I chucked a spoiler on the back of mine a few years back, people asked why i did
it, but it just makes it stand out in a DeLorean crowd.
oh and also it adds 1000000 BHP and shaves 5 seconds of the 0-60 time

Only 5 seconds James??? in that case I wont bother with a spolier :wink:

hi
sorry i'm old school
don't do it!
if you do, i would say not that difficult. the drive to it i would think can be calibrated.
its only a pulse feed, and there can be other ways of obtaining that using opto electrical or magnetic stuff.
the only change i would consider would be that prototype one that sits on PJgrady's wall.
Now that has history
