Instead of dash clock
My dash clock doesn’t work.
What is typically this gauge replaced with if one doesn’t need it? Digital gauge clock? Red rpm light? Wondering what are the options out there. Thank you |
you can macguyver whatever you like... fix the clock?
|
There's some cool ideas floating out there. I've seen people put AFR/o2 gauges, added dash vent. I cant remember who exactly, but one member did a alternator warning light that looked really cool imo.
I'm partial to the clock myself, but mine still works....at the moment EDIT: I was actually thinking of the Low Pressure Warning light by Patrick motorsport. Probably a bit much for a street car.. http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/part/low-pressure-oil-indicator-gauge-warning-light-911-912-914-930-964-993/ |
Is your car otherwise stock? If so, send the clock out for repair. If not stock, put whatever you like in that hole.
|
A lot of racers put an oil pressure warning light in that spot, but I’d also recommend simply getting the clock fixed.

this was here before but i will show you again.One of my friend had this clock in his 911.Some genius made .So got him original and kept this one..i think is funny and always correct time ;-)
Ivan looks original http://img.pccreation.net/photos/201806061606026271.JPG but it is not http://img.pccreation.net/photos/201806061606467099.JPG |
There are threads where I've seen a combo gage of items not currently in your cluster.
Have seen 3 items grouped. Voltage and AFR come to mind. Clock maybe as the third is still nice to glance at when at the track lapping. |
Or if your into the RS "less is more" thing...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1528300924.jpg

Thank you.
Yes I don’t care about GE clock I want something else, something cool. It’s a street car. Maybe rpm shift light. |
I put the low oil pressure light from Patrick Motorsports in that spot after getting tired of seeing the broken clock read 9:11 all the time. :) It's a street car that hopes to grow up to be a race car one day.
|
For me personally it wouldn't be the best place for a shift light as its not really in my line of vision. If the shift light thing is huge, them maybe it would get your attention regardless. Hope it has an on/off switch. Might get annoying if driving the car on the street.

I sent my clock to North Hollywood Speedometer and had it converted to quartz.
It's indistinguishable from the original, (except that it works : ) |
pull the clock and resolder the low temp solder fuseable link. Takes less than 5 min to remove cover and fix. Then have a working clock again.

kavadarchi -- the issue you're going to have with something like an upshift light is that you'd need something to trigger the light -- on a carrera, this is built into the DME, don't think there's an equivalent on the cis engines (FWIW, I disconnected my carrera's upshift light as it was programmed to upshift for maximum fuel economy and was more of a distraction than a feature) -- as you get more familar with your targa, I suspect you'll find that you'll "feel" when it's time to upshift, as you'll run out of power as you hit the redline -- further, damaging overrevs generally are the result of a missed shift (selecting second instead of 4th) sending the revs WAY up over 10k, rather than simply not shifting at redline . ..

Got it, thank you for all your feedback.
I never Ted line the car anyways but was looking for something “cooler” instead of a clock. |
A voltmeter is a smart investment

I've been thinking about adding TPMS, it's one of the few features from the modern cars I wish I had in the 911. Clock would be a good place to put a display if it could be rigged.

Where can that singer clock heuer be found? Uber cool and Father’s Day is coming....

Ps FYI for Anyone who does any serious track driving, those side gauges and anything mounted on the strip where the radio is etc, will never ever be seen or useful at speed ...if you have a full suit gloves etc, There is neverever enough time to take your eyes off the road and search for the gauges.. you are better off wtpith a line of site series of idiot lights on top of cask.. or an AIM module displaying all the data right in your line of site.. ..

since my 930 conversion project will not be a dedicated track car, plan to put an AFR/BOOST gauge in the clock position.
on my 951 track/DE car I have my boost, AFR, and shift light up on the A pillar, but even with that if I am really cooking I never seem to have time to look at them. especially when hurtling toward the braking zone at the end of a straight. :eek: not a good time to let yourself get distracted. glad the shift light keeps me from looking down at the tach. I recall a story from one of the DE instructors. a guy with a new corvette and first time on a track. almost went into the barrier at the end of the straight as he had zoned out watching the speedo/tack on the heads up display.... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1528733508.jpg |
I live in Phoenix and my 84 Targa and 87 coupe both had functioning AC. I always wanted an AC vent there blowing right at me.

It works but I got tired of it draining down my battery if I didn't drive it for a week so I unplugged it when I installed my Rennline phone mount. My phone and my radio displays time so no need. |
