I think I just bought the coolest thing ever

[af1]

My 205 doesn't have a rev counter nor a clock

 

However was browsing a certain retro cars forum and found this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261563144471

 

I can't think of anything cooler in the entire world!

[Shep Shepherd]

That is the coolest car accessory I've seen in a long time. Bet it will be a bugger to wire up though!

[Wilko220]

There are no words to describe how spectacular that is.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

You must provide pictures... no, video once you have installed that! It's great!

[nisfan]

I haz just brot de lasst wun!!!!!!!! Will reside in my stanza.

[brickwall]

That's a fab piece of kit.

[af1]

I'm sure it will be a piece O' cake to wire up, just plug straight Into the obd port and I'm away... Right?

Am I right??

 

Ha!

 

Iirc to wire in a rev counter you just have to tap into the coil feed? I'll work it out.. Hopefully

I discovered that myself when I tried to describe how spectacular it is. Words failed me.

[Parky]

What if you don't have points? Can you connect it to something else, I dunno front bearing play or exhaust box thickness perhaps?

Someone on RR was selling a few of these a while ago!

They're easy to wire in, just straight to the ignition coil (or alternator 'D' if it's a diesel).

[barefoot]

Can I just point out that it looks like an alarm/ clock radio.

[Bren]

I paid £13 last year for a feu orange traffic light.

 

Whether or not I ever open it is another matter.
