Digital dash

[Dodgy Motor]

Hi, does anyone know of any known issues with fitting one of these dashes to a Delorean,,apart from some of you think its a crime :lol:

[Dan6457]

Yeah, doing that to a delorean is a crime.

[Dodgy Motor]

Trust you :wink: I said "APART FROM THOSE WHO THINK ITS A CRIME", that wasnt very helpfull Dan

[Dan6457]

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]

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,


Anyway you havnt seen my next purchase if you think the speedo is a bad idea just you wait and see :wink:

[TheOriginalMrP]

You better not have bought an early MG Maestro/Montego to nick all the digital dash components Allen!

[Dodgy Motor]

No disrespect but if i had I doubt they would work

[Glen & Sam]

yea i do the transducers that connect onto the delorean speedo for people fitting sat nav head units

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 on
the 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]

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
