Fun Idea (how hard is it)
Aliright I was thinking about entering some car shows around my area... not performance, more for looks. Anyway I am wanting to do a Apex Rev/Speed Meter (MPH) which is just a RPM/MPH gauge that is seperate fromt he dash.. its not that costy, but I was wondering if that would be hard to set up in my lancer and you guys think that its a pretty cool idea. It looks like a little screen that has a computer image of a guage and acts like one I just though it would be a nice stylish look to the lancer. Thanks for all of your input guys/girls...
Its not that hard at all, I have something similar in my EVO that gives me a digital speed readout. You just need to find you the wires for the power, ground, rev, speedo that go to your ECU ....
what he said but seems easier to say than to do ...i had an oil gauge and sold it because i was to lazy/ didnt trust myself to solder wires ....still chicken hey is there a how to for install on gauges/??? ROFL IM SUCH A NEWB ill go search.

I found one of my friends to help install one of those I really want to buy it now but.... I downloaded the manual for wiring my 02 lancer no where does it mention my engine 4G94... so does this mean It cannot be done or I just have or my friend will have to find out how to do it... ohh another question where is the stock ecu located on the lancer. I know this Rev/Speedometer uses ground,speed,rpm,power,and ignition power so any help would be very much appreciated I am kinda a newb when it comes to electronics on a car.. thank you.
