finally got tired of the "useless" bump on the dash, so opted for a marginally less useless clock:

 

Looks good! What clock did you use? Assume you just stuffed OEM in the dash to avoid errors?

Thanks!

Actually had the original piece out and put in a 52mm aeroforce gauge:

(plug-n-play with OBDII cable)

I found the gauge too distracting, so wanted something cleaner. Picked up a VDO 52mm clock on the 'bay (~$40 all-in) and the unplugged OEM connector just hangs around in the dash if I want to re-install the chrono again. No error lights when using either the gauge or the clock.

How did you power it? Do a DIY!

 

didn't think of doing pics during......and cannot compete with theRock!

Power from an add-a-circuit at the fuse box, just ran a wire down through the dash and behind the carpet in the footwell. Ground wire is the big screw just to the left of the throttle pedal.

Now have to decide whether I want to fuss with the lighting so it is illuminated when I have the headlights on.......

 

Thanks. Looks like a very clean and OEMish install. I have considered doing something similar as the Chrono is pretty useless, and at least a clock would have utility value...Just been too busy with performance mods..maybe this winter?? ...And of course if I do it, I will create a DIY for others...haha

Happy to defer to the master!
Won't take you very long though, longest part for me was threading the wires down and routing under the carpet. Right size clock helps.

Maybe finding the best spot to tap into the lighting would be a welcome addition and a more useful DIY!

 

Nice job! I opted to make mine very useful indeed.

 

Well my car isn't used properly like yours!

 

Is that for your meth?


Looks good!

 

Thx yeah Coolingmist meth controller and boost guage.

 

But now that you know how to replace the guage already, it might be time to upgrade to a meth controller and tune/more boost

 

You guys find the chrono useless? I turn it on sometimes to see how fast I can make it to the office...LOL

 

And THAT....Is about as useful as it gets

Hahahhah.
