ZS Clock

[ZS]

I was thinking the other day that one thing I miss from the 75 was the "computer" where I could see things such as Average MPG etc.

Then while I was changing my broken clock over I thought... this is a load of wasted space (Look at the size of the clock LCD compared to the size of the clock unit)

So it got me thinking... would it be feasible to empty the standard clock insides out and modify the casing to accept a larger LCD screen, and then install some other internals that could be hooked up to the ECU or whatever and provide information such as MPG and maybe even hooked up to the VIS indicators to provide info through the screen?

So what would I need to make that work? lol

My clocks broken I was thinking of this the other day but I might just but some VIS indicators in its place instead

Doing some research and I have come across this project...

That would be so much better than my busted clock!! I want one.

It would need a lot more brain power than I have, who do we know that sorts all our server/computer problems on the site out?????????????????

Been running one in my car for 2 years on gauges.
Also if the EML comes on due to my decat I can clear it on the move.

or there is a scangauge E which only has the fuel computer which is slightly cheaper.
