Thanks guys. This 3M wax is great. Really doing it's job.

Some time ago I bought universal onbord computer. It have OLED display and can show many nice parameters as
time and date,
actual speed,
in and out temperature,
fuel usage (actual and avarage),
2nd independent fuel usage (for cars with LPG),
trip (daily and total)
trip cost,
acceleration (0-60mph, 1/4mile),
service (4 setings),
many alarms,
voltmeter,
can show signals from lambda sensor, map sensor, presure sensors, boost etc.
and some more.

I had some issues with installing bloody display. I wanted to have it quite close to the driver for an easy reading. Perfectly will be somewhere next to speedo like other manufacturers do. Unlikely display itself is to big. I decided to install it on tweeter cover but already I have there headlight washers switch and dash light dimmer. So I just left it and forget about it.

Today I start some cleaning as I have a lot of things in my wardrobe some of them shouldn't even be there and quess what I found. So cleaning can wait and I'm actually trying to install this little baby

I just plug it into battery so it shows strange temps (no sensors connected), wrong time and date.
Later on I show you how it's going

I want one of those computers!

...and I agree with Nafe, bonnet risers are not needed on your car, it looks great without looking like it's been crashed. Plus, don't they actually raise under bonnet temperatures rather than lower them?

Agreed with Nafe's thoughts on the bonnet lifters.

So far so good

I have used a piece of front cover from my spare JDM speedo cluster. I match it so it's going in without any gaps, then I glued it in with plastic model glue and special activator for PP plastics.

I'm waiting for glue to set up properly, and 2morrow I'll check it on the car. Then "just" wiring it up and it will be ready to go

Where usualy they install outside temperature sensor?

From what car did you get that switch from ?
Definately not OEM Prelude.
Looks neat !

Oeh nice

Mind sharing where you got that little piece of kit from?

K30DPC · Post by **K30DPC** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 5:56 pm

Switch came from other honda. Don't remember but probably it's from civic sedan. I had to modiffy it a bit. Potentiometr for dash lights had built in electronic circuit, but prelude is using only potentiometr and whole circuit is in separate box next to the clock. I simply remove whole electronics and wired potentiometr pins into the socket.

Sure matey. Computer came from polish auctions site. They call it UKP

Nice, will check it tomorrow if I get a break at the job

Saw my question ?

Outside air temp sensor on JDM cars with auto climate control is always mounted on the middle bar near the radiator.

The little device looks nice. I have a much bigger piece from Tunerview.
