speedophile Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I came across this on ebay and like it, just wondering would it be worth the money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-1-LCD-GAUGE-OIL-VOLT-WATER-RPM-MR2-STARLET-SUPRA-/260677953876?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb19de954 please let me know what you's think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I would be more worried if it works, personally I think it would look out of place. Meaning the pole thing at the back suggests it will be sticking out or sucked to the windscreen like a Dave Dave. If you could place it where the stereo is then it might not look too bad.

speedophile Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 i was thinking of building it into the dash.... but i think your right will it even work.../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 If you are going so far as to build it into the dash.. I'd say don't bother, given the price the sensors won't be the best... If you are going to go ahead with it, test it first before hacking the dash apart to find it is complete kak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Speak to Matt aka Wallis, he's using one in his single build. Its actually pretty cool in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have one of these and paid allot more than £79! Check out the pics, i love it, it saved me loads of space on the dash. The quality is really good, sensors are fine, the water and oil temp sensors were the same as my hks ones. Its a bit of a job fitting all the sensors but well worth it, im well happy with my install;) get it bought mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of questions bud did you need any extras fittings to fit this in the supra also what are your main white dials you have fitted ( stock rev, mph clocks, fuel..) ... I want to get rid of my black dials....! U will need to buy a sandwich plate to fit the oil pressure sender and temp sensor in. U will need some cables and heat shrink tubing, heat proof conduit etc for the signal wires. My dials are by visual dynamics, had them about 4 years, u can pick them up on ebay well cheap these days;) hope that helps abit mate.
