The dash at night

[Squire_Dawson]

Simplicity itself, minimal information and the panel light can be switched off if desired.

Modern Japanese shite.

Prelude?

Prelude?

That's the one, Mk4. In my opinion one of the best looking sports coupes in the 90s.

Nice. Not a car I've ever had a chance to really see up close, they're nice lookers though that's for sure!

If you're doing Shitefest you're more than welcome to take a look round!

Here is the super extensive and well equipped dash of the Corolla:

 

 

And the full cockpit experience:

 

 

Bonus shot for those who appreciate a proper gearbox:

I had the fancier 2008 on hire for 6 months. It had blue lighting around the dials, and a TFT rather than segmented display. I quite liked it! It also had wavy LED light strips in the headlining which I loved.

 

In fact generally, ambient lighting is a really nice touch. Our Merc has orange light strips across the dash that shine down, and my old Focus had red "submarine" lights up by the rear view mirror that gave just enough light to be able to see how many sweets are left in the bag at midnight on the M25

Time to update my post with added tachometer and replacement gear shifter shroud.

Always bugged me that the illumination in these doesn't match between the dash and the heater controls...pick green or red...one or the other...

...Why is the 4 on the rev counter in a smaller typeface than the rest?

Well fuck. I have to get a new car now, I can never look at it the same again.

Nah, just adds to the delightfully slightly shonky nature of the car, doesn't it...

Numbers applied to the dial using the same method employed to adorn this with holes.

 

I mean, they made an effort with the speedometer. It shows symmetry and a certain degree of panache (even if it doesn't actually fit in the aperture it was designed for). The tacho was given to the work experience kid, who was told to make it look good in MS-Paint.

Terrible quality......but you can see the very exciting centre dash area in the superb picasso

So many of these would do my head in as there are too many different colours on the dash. The green Volvo steering wheel makes it look like they've just fitted the wrong part.

Wee Mazda... really nice looking dash in the daytime too:

 

And, inspired by the Toyota Corolla posted earlier in this thread (with a proper gearbox!), here is the mighty Surf...

 

 

Gotta love the lateral gauges!  I like having oil pressure and voltage too, why don't they still do that?  The 'TURBO' caption has a green light that comes on when turbo-ing, the engine 'CHECK' light is orange when they self test, but I have no idea what would actually put it on?  There are no exhaust probes... 

I'll get a better pic one of these nights, there are other high-'lights' such as 'ECT POWER' (tractor overtaking mode on the gearbox), and my personal favourite, 'HARD', if you have selected that mode on the dampers!
