SWEET AS HELL ! major props. i wish i could do that. my friend has Defi gauges on his turbo s2 and he records all his runs. and plays the runs at car shows.. so you see what he was boosting his last run and what not. its sick as hell.

Top row is a RPM bar with two shift lights, with adjustable shift points, the bottom digital is digital RPM when Stationary and Digital Speedo when moving... good for launches and such. around 300... more or less.

you should get one of the see-through screens that sticks onto the windshield like on a lexus LX470 so that the night vision camera can be seen better against the glass. I'm sure they're common and any automotive glass/tinting shop will know what they are.

Props on the great install, looks awesome.

that's great... im glad to see someone did it on the TC... i have been looking at doing this... i read on this unit in a mag.. i had a factory HUD in my 95 GTP.. and i really miss it in the TC.. although im not crazy about those shift lights..

do you have pics of your install.. just curious how you routed your wires. on the dash and what it looks like on the dash.. just how much of a pain was it to install.. even though the instructions are in japanese can it be figured out..?

if you have never had a car with a HUD.. you really can't imagine how much of a "SAFETY" feature it is... you never have to take your eyes of the road to see how fast your going.. i had retro fitted a 97 HUD in my 95GTP which had the additional radio station /cd track display aswell... and lt me tell you .. youreally get spoiled...
