My car is without an instrument cluster and I was looking into a LCD type speedometer.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations – maybe any issues you’ve had to overcome when installing these types of things?

I’ve seen some GPS units on http://www.summitracing.com – but they where $350+ seemed to be more for marine/boat application.

I’m looking for something that will just give me a “simple and large” digital read out.

Thanks in advance

 

why not pony up for something like the AIM mycron? get speed and everything else right in front of you.

 

Look for an Apex-i Rev/Speed meter or RSM. There is an older one with LCD segment deisplay that usually goes for around $75-ish on ebay, or the newer one that has OLED display for around double that price. I believe there are Imperial and Metric versions, so if you care, make sure you get the right one. They both measure speed, revs, trip meter, etc, with peak/hold, shift light (display flashes, not very useful) and other stuff. There is an add on G-Tech type acceleration meter, but I've never used it. It needs 4 wires to hookup, power, ground, tach and VSS. Very easy to install, and it works great, IMHO.

I remember a few years ago there was a company that had a HUD type speed display, but I think they went out of business.

For expensive stuff, go AIM MyChron.
