Digital Guages instead of Analog
i dont know exactly where i should put this question but scince this has to do with electronics im going to put it in here. Is it possibe to take out the analog guages in your guage (integra GSR) cluster stick an LCD in there that reads out all the engine readings that you want but you would be able to adjust it to show what you wanted at certain times. For example could you have it show just miles per hour and then change it to show miles per hour, oil temp, and turbo all on the same screen. About all those reading at the same time i was just seeing if it was possible. If you need more clarification on what i mean just tell me.
Thanks
Thanks

I sometimes thought about the same thing. Either replacing factory gauges with all aftermarket ones (requiring some rebuilding or altering of dash) or replace with simple, clean digital diplays for everything. Funny thing is that old Buicks and Oldsmobiles had that...h:
But yeah, I think it would be hella cool to make your own dash/gauge display and make it look nice AND clean.

Electronic gauges just wouldn't look right on a Honda. The old GM all digital dash boards were so confusing, anyway (17 different ways to tell you how your gas was and how fast you are going, but no tach!) All you need is a big analog speedo and a big analog tach, with a fuel gauge and you're all set.
