Fitted new sensors for the Toucan and run the cables into the cabin. However I need to wire them into the Syvecs.
In that note, I fancy changing the dash around again this winter. So decided I may aswell just take it out as it easier to get to everything and make everything neater.
Going to have a serious cable cul before it goes back in. I hate that it's all so damn messy behind there.
Made up a little sub loom to run the Toucan from using an ISO connector. It has everything you need, 12v live, Ign live, ground and illumination.
Put it on Deans plugs as it's always nice and easy to unplug if I need to. Not wired in my sensors yet, but all cables have been run. Great to get the Toucan powered up though, it's such a smart little unit. I don't know why I've left it this long to get one.
In practice when sat in the car I can have the Toucan display a tacho if I want. However I can see from 3-7k rpm on the original tacho no problem.
So don't see it as an issue. If I decide I don't like it, I can always move it. That's the beauty of it.
It's not finished yet anyway.
I'm suprised that an experience driver like yourself has time to look on a rev counterMyself I just use the force,they don't call me stonejedi for nothing.SJ.
Work in progress, and I know this will split opinion.
Will be sanded smooth and flocked inside and out to blend in with the rest. Taking a gamble but I think this is gonna look pretty cool.
Frayz how about getting another cowling and actually cutting a slot into it to see how much you can sit the display down into the recess... If you could drop in 10mm it would make quite a difference in seeing the rev counter etc
