What are some of you guys using for Speedo's, Oil Pressure, water, fuel instruments etc besides the factory Suzuki/Toyota cluster?

I'm especially interested in digital dashes or speedo.

Digidash.

User selectable as to what information is displayed and in what format.

Cheers,

I was going to run an Adaptronic ecu and have diagnostics screen as my dash. Shows me everything i need to know and has datalogging too.
But the digidash seems a better option, but ill see whats best when i get the money spare to get one.

Thanks for that Tricky.
I've had my eye on those but find the cost to be a little high.
I've also had my eye on the ACEWELL ones

I suppose it wouldn't be difficult to adapt anything to suit. It will be my primary display so hopefully it will get past roadworthy too.

The only problem i can think of is the speed, but any digidash worth anything would be able to link a speed sensor in.

b_d, does that mean you need to have a laptop in the car with you all the time?

No, the ecu would function as a computer, and you could either set it up with the gear ratios, then it would calculate speed off the engine rpm, or get a sensor off an abs car and rig it up so it reads like abs, except detects the rate at which the toothed gear spins.

Something like that i was trying to say.
