Gear Shift Indicator

[GsiTurbo]

I found this cool gadget...its an actual working indicator informing the driver what gear you are in, and allows you to set the gearchange indicator. I think its much cooler than the rifle-scope indicators, and most importantly, it looks like the one used in the WRC vehicles.

- indicates the actual gear
- will work with any vehicle equiped with the VSS sensor (speed sensor) and electonic ignition
- installation guide for Lanos is here: http://www.rallypromotion.com/gearboxshift/lanos.pdf
- its roughly $65 CDN (250 polish zloty)




Hehe... I DO LIKE IT

that looks sweet! :twisted:

I am pretty sure they would accept a group buy from daewootech.com...we just need a contact in Poland to arrange the details LOL... MAXIMUS!!! are you there somewhere???

Hmmm......interesting..... I was thinking of how to monitor my gearing for my computer based system..... I never thought of using the VSS.... I feel stupid now.... what a simple idea.

I was going to use the Tach signal, but I was worried that the electronics might get confused and skip a gear by accident sometimes..... the VSS is a very steady signal that increases with speed so with both the VSS and Tach it would be very easy to diferenciate the gearing.

$65 CDN is about $45 to $50 USD at the moment which is pretty cheap but I'm sure I could do it way cheaper.

I'd guess it could be manufactured for roughly $30 CDN with a decent profit.....but then the distributor usually needs to make some cash so I guess $65 is about the right price.

and another thing that Efrain brought to my attention



The Lanos on this picture has the digital dash from the Opel Kadett GSI



Those can be easily found on ebay UK or ebay germany...like here http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... gory=38729 and its only EURO 5.50!!

Cheers!

this is a neat mod i'm all about it, but the site is in polish is there a version of the site in english or maybe a different site that sells the same product with instructions in english maybe. i like this a lot and want to get it.

i always wanted a digital dash, i thought about getting digital gauges and replacing the stock ones, i dont know how hard it would be

but i like that one in the pic, only there is one prob, i live in USA with miles hehe

i would go insane with out miles... i would think im speeding all the time

[azazel19]

the digital dash would be cool although the american cars i have seen with digital dash's were terrible but the european cars with digital dash's look much better. if your state required an annual inspection and you had a guage cluster that read km instead of mph they would fail you. my friend's wife is from canada and when they got married she brought her car here i believe it was a neon any way the cluster read metric and he tried to get an inspection sticker and they rejected it he checked into getting a new cluster but it was like a grand the car was a pos so they just let it sit and rot in the yard.

[GsiTurbo]

The digi dash above can read speed in both Miles and Km, its just a matter of turning a little knob (the same knob that resets the odometer readout).

I can source a few of them, if anyone wants

It will work with Lanos, as the speed sender unit goes where normally the speedometer cable goes.

Cheers!
