dangerous brain Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thinking about it there is no reason why i cant extend the cables going to the two seven segment LEDs so if thats the case then they can be mounted in the gauge cluster or as you ask a 52/60mm circular face and insert it onto the A pillar hole depending on which one you have. In fact thinking about it a stage further you could actually have a pre built a pillar pod with the leds running around the outside edge of one of the dial sections, selected gear on one side and actual gear the other. It wouldn't be that hard a job to cut some LED's into a stock on the market A pillar pod. Colour coding the 1,2 and D one colour and the N R and P other colours would be good as well. Now I am sure that people would find that a whole helluva lot more bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am sure that people would find that a whole helluva lot more bling now thats a good idea, plus to mount it into a pod,all you need is a circular bit of plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtuv Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I like it - I was only thinking about this the other day, as the car kicked down and I wondered "Is that down to 1st, or 2nd?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If you push back on the stick without holding the button under your thumb down it will only go down to 2 not 1 as theres a gate to stop you going into 1 inadvertantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 ok, would you prefer the display to show L 2 3 4 r P N or 1 2 3 4 r and 0 (when the box is in Park or Neutral) Also im going to put a couple of small LEDs on the box as well for when ManU is pressed and O/D, usefull for those who have EL dials that has covered them up.

Supra ST Myster Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 very close, will be easy (ish) to fit, as long as you are good with a soldering iron, i am going to make 4 types, a bog standard one which has the 2 7segment displays, then a cool one which has also 4 more leds for o/d indication and manu mode, power on and fault and a little start up sequence both these in a slim line box, then the same as before but in either 52mm or 60mm gauge style holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
