thats what i thought at first. but sunday my fuel level idiot light started flashing end of 2nd to last session. i ignored it and ran last session without getting gas. i made it half way through before getting fuel starvation on the corners. i must have waived 20 cars by crawling back to the pits.
reminds me, i need to pull the plugs and check for badness.

i think i prefer shift lights. but it occurs to me maybe thats because my lcd tach is hard to read when on track. still, shift lights seem to work really well. they are bright so i don't have to look down. i have 3 of them, spaced 500 rpm apart so i get 3 seconds notice in lower gears and 5ish seconds in higher gears.

I'm playing around with a small LCD from http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=9363 coupled with arduino reading canbus on the ms2. Doesn't look like it'll be easy quite yet.

That's too much money. You can get a refurbished eee for under 100, install a touchscreen, extend the video cable to where you want to mount the lcd, find a way to power the laptop from the car, and you're done.

Excellent. I wonder if he'll require the use of a bluetooth->serial adapter on the MS or if there will be some sort of per-device adapter ala:G1->serial adapter

Here's the thread, and Phil's last post.

Still in the early stages, much to be done. I don't expect to have anything ready for early testing until spring. That won't start out as a full TS on Android, but at least will data log and give some info. Then I will grow the capabilities from there.

I know this isn't really Race Prep but it's the only custom gauge set up thread that search found.
Here's mine, almost ready to install. This is the proof of concept model to test out back lighting, pointer lighting, gauge function and reliability. I have yet to get a WB bung welded in or a location to mount the oil temp sensor.
Anybody have a suggestion on the easiest place to mount an oil temp sensor on a 2000? Note that I'm using the 99/00 water temp sensor for oil to match with the gauge.
Adds Oil Temp, AFR and Boost Gauges plus Knock, Oil Press and WI lights.
Details:
Oil and water temp gauges - linear modified
Oil Pressure gauge - stripped, grease removed and rewound
Oil pressure sensor - VDO 0-80psi sender plus idiot light
AFR - Analog AEM
Boost - stripped Autometer
Check Engine, Seatbelt, Brake etc Lights - All LED
Backlighting - LED, dimmable
Gauge pointer lighting - LED, colour change on warn for tach, temps, oil, AFR and fuel.

It's pretty sweet that you have all that integrated into a stock cluster, but a minor point of weirdness IMO is how you have the tach and speedo dials clocked. For example, why not put the tach redline at 12:00, or 6:00 since you seem to like stuff pointing downward most of the time? If you're going to rotate them at all, I would configure them so "vertical" relates to some commonly used or important value, to make it easier for your brain to process when you're at speed. Just personal preference of course.
