I just had the CEL come on in my car, pulled the code, got an Evap system leak and was all "nice, i dont have to gently caress with this until smog comes" and just kept driving it around until the other day when it turned off on it's own.

I love the mazda ones. Generally not a fan of digital dashes (yeah boo me), but the 323 dash very quick to read, and the 626 one while not as good for the tacho has that turbo lamp that's awesome.
I need that 323 in my life so that's on my bucket list, researching now...

Do you think a barra would fit? :v:

Good looking out! It's missing a bit of the Wheeler Dealers kind of basic explanation stuff my wife and I loved about seeing him wrench (we're novices, but learning as we go on a project car), but I'm sure I'll watch whatever he puts out. Good first episode.

It must have been cause I didn't gently caress with anything other than putting gas in it the other day.

I need to do some searching but I believe someone redid their DMC Dolerean using this dash as well.

Wonder what the memory storage situation on that dash is, they got a traditional worm gear odometer and a digital trip odometer? Or were they required to run a "normal" odometer at that point in time?

The ones I had all were old school mechanical odometers, but pretty sure the Z31 had a digital tripometer.

That is a good question though, I can't remember the first time I saw the main odometer not be mechanical. 90s?

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
I've been watching the local yards for Taurus SHO's. These wicked cool dashes are supposed to be an almost perfect fit in my Mercury Capri

My brother and I both had 1st gen Probes for our first cars. He had the digital dash


while mine was the regular analog. Sometimes his speedo display quit working.

My Z31 had a very common issue where the entire cluster would just ~die~ out of the blue at a random time. Turned out it was a power unit that caused it and I eventually figured out giving a good solid whack under the steering column would generally bring it back, but with zero mechanical backups it was more than an inconvenience especially at highway speeds.

Hey dudes!

May I post more dash stuff (self created)?

My buddy took the "Teslonda" out and got some track time finally.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq4xgOhBn1I

With one of the runs he did that day; I pulled that data and replayed it on my development rig; here is an idea of what the dash would look like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6BooMZ1xjE

Sorry about the washed out colors from the last video but I think it conveys the idea pretty well.

For those interested in the EV portion of things; watch the Voltage sag!!!

Humble brag: Here is sneak peak of my dumb phone app that connects with the dash.


(trigger warning: vertical video alert - it was intended for instagram. :smith:)

(e: the dash video; you can see his pedal position, kilowatt output, voltage/amp input from the battery pack and motor temps)
(e2: added my phone app stuff)

Ha, you too huh? I eventually pulled the sending unit out of the car and reflowed the solder on the connector pins to fix it more permanently.

...and then the speedometer sending unit went out. Because at least ONE thing had to not work at all times.

I really liked the idea of the Tigra when it came out, but the Puma immediately filled pretty much the same niche while being better all round.

That body kit stuff is awful though.

What is the point in lowering a car this much anyway bags or not there is zero point. You ruin the aesthetics, the handling and the ability to drive over speedbumps.
