roscodav Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I had the pleasure of going for a ride along in a newish Covette today and really liked the Head up Display (HUD). Does anyone know of a good aftermarket one that is not too hard to fit to the Sup thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Its great isn't it, I experience a HUD in a vette recently in the states. I now have on order a unit from Envy - have a look on their website. No idea about whether its easy to fit, as I'm getting someone to do that for me.

Adam W Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Defi make HUD's, pretty good by all accounts. What did you make of the vette? Was it a C5? (The newest shape ones, curvy rather than the 80's "Knightrider" look). I just lurrrrve those cars, the forthcoming C6 looks damn fine as well IMHO.

toyotasuprauk Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Lucky you I love the Corvette C5, probably one of my favourite cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Just in case any one wonders what HUD looks like because I didn't know: http://www.new-cars.com/2002/chevrolet/chevrolet-corvette-photos.html Plus few other nice pics too.

Ian C Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hmmmmmmm. Anyone got a piccy of the Defi unit and it's output? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscodav Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 I am no vette expert however it did look like the C5 (after a quick google picture check). I loved it, great ride and plenty of toys, but I would hate to park it though it was huge. Sadly enough it was not warm enough to take the hood down.. Engine sounds great and the car has a very big presence, but i think ill stick with my supra, its more practicle.... i never thought i would describe it as that!

roscodav Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 oohh, looks like another thing for the xmas list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Thanks Gaz, it looks frankly shit so that's £250 saved. If it displayed like the one on the Corvette website I'd have snapped it up Nasty lump on the dash with wires everywhere and you see the whole unit reflected in the windscreen rather than just the actual display Looks like you also need a few other DEFI bits before it will even work? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I took a Vette C5 for a test drive once...It was great.....till I drove it....it was all over the place....tiny mirrors couldn't see out the back....nowhere to fit Sat Naff as not a standard Double or single din unit...Supra is far superior....almost AlMOST bought one just the handling, the ergonomics, and the fact it was a left hooker...put me off in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I kind of see ya point Ian....but I had a mate with an Evo who had this Heads Up unit and I was well impressed...At night you can't see the reflection of the actual unit at all, I'm sure there could be a way of fitting it flush so the box is hidden surely but to be honest it would'nt bother me too much. But I guess its the same with the Snooper and such, my dashboard is already starting to looklike Grandmas Mantlepiece. TBH i would like to have my Snooper flush fitted...not sure if this has or can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I guess I saw the OEM one in the Corvette and was expecting much the same from the DEFI one, got all excited, and was then sorely disappointed by the actual photo I know HUDs work in this way, but, I couldn't help looking at it and thinking "it's just a box reflecting in the windscreen". -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hmm, wasn't that the OLD style HUD?? I was thinking the new defi one was much nicer? I need one, it's essential, but I have ot agree with Ian on this one! Having only previous seen the HUDs in the dark I suppose I missed all the cacky lumpy wiring stuff. Yuk.
