You should really run your tyres at the same pressure though! I agree it looks awefull, but it's still a decent example of a custom make fascia to move the factory screen lower to put an LCD up top.

He was very nervous about lengthening the wiring for the back of the LCD though. Don't try it if your not good with soldering!@MrBean: Excellent as always :banghead: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38483-carputer-project/page/10/#findComment-632256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you integrate one of the sensors into live boost/intake temp monitoring system, or will the Scantool be doing that for you??

MrBean Member 400 Member For: 18y 11m 26d Location: Melbourne Posted 18/02/08 09:43 AM Author Share Posted 18/02/08 09:43 AM Lol @ Tab: I had to "activate" the sensors somehow, so let some pressure out of each of the tyres in turn - guess my feel-o-meter wasn't working to great Quote So your end product should look like this? .. without the vents? ..Mmm...I remember seeing that UTE's interior in a magazine sometime last year, it is a job well done - although I don't like the color, but it did go well with the lime-green exterior - even the UTE's tray was done in leather, was it by ProStitch I think....Mine would look similar, imagine a color TFT at the bottom though, and then larger 10.4" where this has a Alpine 6.5".....Soz for the late reply anyway, I only got in 23h00 last night, and are still recovering....will post again tomorrow, off to bed to get rid of jetlag...
