this is probably the best you will get without spending mega-bucks, i may be wrong though?

looks quite good but i think you would have to sink it into the dash to make it look any good, apparently it measures your speed by the circumference of the wheel?

 

I have got one fitted to my ZR (Essex gave me a call when they were first introduced a year or so ago). It works by tapping into the same elctronic signal for the speedo and is incredibly easy to use and set up.

Here's a couple of pix of it on mine

The 'double display' is because I hadnt fitted the tinted patch that came with the kit which elimates this. With rthe patch fitted the display is very clear in all lighting conditions, even with full sun.

 

how much and where from?

 

A few of my mates have got this one-

It looks great imo.

anyone having trouble with the above link?....am talking to work colleagues about this, and wanted to show them, but it's not working

 

how hard was it to fit?

 

Thats well cool!

how do you fit these? would you just wire somthing into your speedo :S

 

Wouldn't want to have the stupid tinted patch on my windscreen though.

My dials tell me the speed i'm going at anyway

 

because some cars go that fast you are too scared to look down at the clocks...

 

We had one of those on a development car in the early 70s. It worked very well, but doesn't ever seem to have been taken up for regular production cars. Wonder why?

 

Regarding the Tinted part:

"The VLT limit for windscreens is 75% and you will find that by applying even the clearest of tinted film would probably cause your car to fail a test"

this will be in the centre of the windscreen, or around about.

The BMW has it at the bottom of the windscreen and doesn't interferre with the view of the driver
