That's OK, I've taken this to PM with AR4me.

Finished pulling obsolete wires out of the dash - tedious since I wanted to maintain select ARC functionality (oil level monitoring, coolant level monitoring, brake fluid pressure monitoring). I just need to remount the ECO, the fuse panel, and the electronic module for the ARC.

I also started making the new instrument cluster housing that will hold the Race-Technology Dash2. Once complete I will cover it in black felt.

Take my advice though and make sure you triple check the purpose of a wire before removing it. I learnt the hard way that not only are there two sets of wiring diagrams, they're also not 100% accurate. Make sure you test absolutely everything before bundling it back up (another terrible job) to make sure it all still works.

Apart from that, looking good

Let us know which wire from the dash you're gonna hookup to the DL1 for the RPM input

BigSwede · #**1301** (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 06:01 AM

The white one from the neg post on the coil will do nicely AFAIK.

**75evo** · #**1302** (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 11:29 AM

Cool, I saw the table from race-technology on what would and wouldn't work. I would prefer to just get it off one of the wires in the dash that goes to the tacho as I want to avoid running more wires into the car. I'll double check the wiring diagrams again.

**AR4me** · #**1303** (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 12:53 PM

If I recall correctly, the white wire in the 7 or 8 pin connector at the back of the instrument cluster is for the stock tach.

Finished the new instrument cluster that will hold the DASH2 and the 4 buttons to control it (mounts just like the stock instrument cluster). Oddly the sheet for the DASH2 says the 3 mounting holes are M4, but I don't see how M4 will fit those holes - don't want to force it - they should spin in by hand.

Looks nice Jes. Did you line the metal/aluminum with felt cloth?

How much for the buttons? Probably very expensive, but I hope it's not going to be as useless as the remote switch they sold us for the DL-1.

It seems that I can also use my own switches, but the plug which goes from the switches to the rear of the Dash2, is it included? I assume if it were included, would be a plug with loose wires/flying leads right?
