  1. That is pretty sick! To be super critical, I would've given the bezel a few more hours of hand sanding attention especially in the wavy areas, and then a coat of interior texture to hide any other flaws. But aside from that, that is really cool. Where did the odometer go?

    Yea i know. I was jus anxious to get it running cuz ive been driving with gauges while i was working on it. The bezel can always get touched up, i just need to find better tools to sand the tough to get spot. It was a PAINNN just gettin it to this point.

    Im building a Center console now so ill prolly put it in there. I would love to see if this passed inspection so we'll see.

  4. :yahoo: :yahoo: My Touchscreen Speedometer Build :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Okay, so Im back again to tear up my Celica and try out some more ideas. This time i wanted to convert my speedometer gauge to more of a digital look.

    Check My build vids on this project:

    Part 1(obvious where I start the idea process)-

    Part 2(this is where i tear down the gauge cluster to fit the screen and build the frame) -

    Part 3(i have built the frame not its time to test it out) -

    Part 4(FINALE) -

    So initial of course i had to break down my gauge cluster

    The only part i had to save was the actual odometer piece, because i need to save the mileage and the speed sensor is built in there.

    Fitting in was obviously a challenge solved by Mr.Dremel

    Once i got that in there, i could start taking the monitor apart. The circuit board of the monitor and the controller for the touchscreen fit beautifully inside my cluster and since I was making my own turn signals i drilled in some LEDS as well

    So now i just need to build the frame using the bezel of the monitor into the bezel for the gauges

  6. The first I did was the 20inch monitor in the ceiling...pleaseeee, i have no IDEA what was going throuhg my mind when I did it. I honestly was just starting to get serious with my installs and on many occasions I like to lay my seats all the way back, turn up my music and just think to myself. So i guess the ideas came from that and wondering what if I had a big screen or somethin I could be looking at as well. So in the insane spirit of creativity I wanted to try it anyway. My car my rules. Who cares right lol?
