You are right about the fact that I do not like it. However, if it were properly certified, IO would accept it. No there will be numerous people that will not agree with me. That is part of life, and would be damned boring if it were otherwise. Have you looked at the poll about the Elgin...
I would agree with that. Except if there is a center display, why is it not lit up like the odometer. I hope you are right in saying this may not be the one!
What I am saying here is that a of people have a vested interest. Lets say just for argument sake that vehicle 4167, just rolled off the line. Vehicle 1234 was just in an accident and it was determined that instrumentation was partially at fault. Production will be stopped until the problem...
Even if what they offer is an endangerment? I am not saying that it is, only that I believe it to be. I want it safety certified. Paul has had some very great ideas, but this is pure vanity!
IF it is truly digital, It will likely have what is known as "firmware" within the modules for display, This code is burned into a chip and cannot be changed. At some point in time someone may hack the chip and replace the code on a new chip with their own code. Besides having the knowledge to...
You are absolutely correct, now watch the first one roll off the line at 11:59 PM 12/31/2014, I'de sure like to have mine sooner, but not if it means having to look at steel boobs each and every time I drive. Jerome told me it was digital, and apx the number size. BUT if what I am seeing, in...
Those windows can be read if one id sitting still or the display is static. If you don't intend to drive your Elio any faster than a minute hand on a watch moves you will do just fine, If however you decide you want to shift at 5200 RPM you will have a serious problem reading that value through...
Nice dash, but I see one glaring omission and am not sure just how it might be handled. If someone has a suggestion please speak up. We have no valid non-resettable odometer, and I believe that is a no no! The SB dash appears to have a digital unit so perhaps a window could be created for its...
Like I said that will give me a starting point. OKC (48 of 60) being a secondary market I didn't have any expectations of meeting Paul, but I hope to be able to do so at some point in the future. Glad you enjoyed the show. I know I certainly did, and thanks for adding to our information base.
Do you suppose we might find someone, somewhere that might create a screen in the configuration we would need to neatly utilize the OBD2 in a replacement design?
If they aren't I'll trash the "Steel Boobs" and build something that works for me. Ty, I agree with you that they cheapen the overall look of the vehicle. A modern panel is what is needed in keeping with the overall futuristic look of the vehicle.
