A write-up.
Well, this type of thing is really a hands-on type of project.

A write-up won't really help anyone that would be able to do it. Most people who'd do it would crack open the dash and look...and logically come up with the same sort of method that I have.

but hell. Maybe a write-up in a little bit. Once I get the wideband in

Looks real nice. If you don't already have one, I'd purchase an oil pressure gauge. If your oil pressure drops for one reason or another, you have no indicator to get your attention.

This is great on so many levels. Absolutely the best reclaiming if stock space that I have seen. I've stared at that space more than a few times thinking ...... hmmmmm ... I wonder ......

Did you just bundle and tuck the wires and lights that were in the (removed) display?

Great Job!!!

I was thinking just the other day how awesome it would be to put a gauge in that spot. Excellent work!

That is awesome. You know, you would have a lot of customers if you did the grunt work and did a core exhange.

once you get it all back together takes some pictures with no interior lights so we can see how well it matches the dash lights

awesome idea
It won't match the dash lights. I honestly don't care about matching them. It's a segmented LED display...completely different than the factory lighting.

The car doesn't have an oil pressure gauge from the factory. At least not from what I saw last night. There was no bulb behind that indicator. Even if there was, it would be an oil level sensor, not an oil pressure sensor.

The cars that I know of have an oil pressure sensor but no gauge. Signal is fed to the ECU directly.

You can't exchange cores because the odometer is built into the cluster.

I was thinking about running the same thing with my AEM UEGO wideband, but I was afraid of fitment issues (not to mention more than likely having to grind down the outer ring of the gauge), and haven't had the time to actually pull it out and play with it.

Which wideband are you running with this setup?

What are the two icons on the old "lancer" template. The blue/green volcano looking one and the car one with the key?
