digi dash?!?!?

[Munt]

will a digi dash out of a 16v astra work in a 16v calibra with an ecotec engine?

[wolfy]

should do but it will be a lot of work, tried to fit it to an 8V ( 8V digi dash) but gave up in the end!

there was a bloke selling a complete kit on ebay a few weeks ago i think he was selling one and was thinking of making more if demand was high keep an eye out mate.

My old Corsa had a digital GTE dash rebuilt into a Calibra clock housing for a better fit.


It was rewired to be plug and play..

[Monkey]

I've been thinking about doing this also, I was going to do the plug and play idea slightly differently but quite like how you have done it.

[Munt]

ok quick poll, do you lot think digi dashes are cool or tacky?

[Phil69]

I personally think they look cool although they are a bit dated now...obviously being from an older car.

[icewizard]

They look really trick, only i find the update of the display readings are slow, and definition of readings are crap. think they have about only 4 or 5 different levels for coolant temp.

[Munt]

one more quick question would it have to be out of a 16v? would an 8v work or would all the readings be wrong?

[tsdinos]

Is it possible to fit digi dash with the old speedo cable?
Anyway, i wouldn't really like this in my car, it gives me a feeling of 80s somehow, and cheap.... my opinion

not on earlier callys, they use a cable spped reading where the digidash needs electric so you need another part from the astra cant remember what it is now!

Would be cool in say a black Calibra with black leather. But not in my world of cream and chrome [img]/sad.gif[/img]
