No sir, I don't like it.

Give me dials anyday. I had a 85 LeBaron with a digital dash, drove me nuts.

Digital dashes are nice on Caddies, but for a sportscar, I want round instruments with moving needles. The tach should have redline vertical.

Where's fuel level? I assume that's water temp where it says "115" under "engine".

I like digital dashes. It isn't perfect, but I like it.

I think overall I'm going to go with a stock setup with aftermarket gauges. I want a 160 speedo and a 9000rpm tach, at least. And I think blue backlighting with red dials and numebrs will look pretty sweet, a lot like the VW's and new Hondas, which might I say have some fucking awesome gauges.

I took a look at Autometer gauges, and I like them, but their website doesn't give a lot of night shots. I want to see what the gauges look liek at night.

I make my own backlit gauge faces and recrystal the 85mph speedo to 150mph

haven't gotten around to making my newest set but It'll happen soon enough

Dont know. Bought it off Ebay a couple months ago. Mines basically a sticker that goes on the face of the 84 speedo....actually looks pretty pro.

I just lick my finger and stick it out the window to approximate my speed.

I Checked their website awhile back and they wanted almost 2G's for that dash cluster, no toggle for metric either.

If you want to see flashing lights bouncing around just buy one of these...

That dash looks like something out of an original series Star Trek set. Pretty lame and outdated.. and useless. As Will implied, those sorts of gauges are NOT easy to read in active situations like on a road course or while canyon carving.

lame.

aaron is a ricer.

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 7:51 pm

Well I like it, and that is what counts.

It is from rverhalen's custom 88 Formula, a VERY nice car that was well built, even if I don't like Norm's front end. And the striping looks badass too. I offered him a trade for the dash, he said if and when he sells the car that he will get back with me on that, but so long as it is his, the dash is too. He had nothing to say but good things about it, and couldn't stop saying good things. He said out of every mod he's done to the car, this is his favorite, albeit nearly $2000. He said he'd sell the Norm's, and the striping in an instant if it meant keeping the dash.

In addition, the dash is really accurate too, much moreso than stock gauges (Although my tach in my car is almost dead on, but the rest aren't).

So we will see, it does look kinda hard to read in the pic, but you can change pretty much anything with it, so it is very versitile.

I'm a ricer becuz I want to use the most expensive, most custom, most accurate, and most versitile digital dash made for the Fiero...And IMHO, the best looking...

Do you have any idea of what all this dash does? It is quite impressive.

As I said before, I like nice digital dashes. Not crappy ones liek the Pisa, but nice ones.
