Thanks! The project was a real challenge. You could buy the same ESP32 board and get started really quickly with that code. That was my goal. And to help the rest of the ESP32 people with upgrading from LVGL8 to LVGL9 to display all of it. That code could give you a good base for other projects...

I did look into adding voltage readout and there are little board addons for that, but I have a little usb power hub in the dash that shows it. I would bet there are transducers for fuel/oil you can add in. I did have help from Claude. It gets close and if you understand what it is doing you can...

I planned on just sharing this. I don't think the margins would ever be worth my time. I would make a few for people, but materials alone are over $100.

Dash gauge is terrible, mechanical gauges have their own issues, most digital gauges are expensive and ugly so I built one using an ESP32-S3 and 2.8in display. ESP32-S3 boards are small low power boards similar to Arduino. This is the base (Waveshare ESP32-S3-2.8B no touch). For temp I used a...

Yeah for sure. I’m daily driving my 60 and I’m planning on a desmog and head pull to the machine shop when I get another vehicle. Burning oil and I bet it is mostly valve seals. I’ll post pics when I pull the head to show what the sealer did and the health of the gasket overall.

Warning: this will trigger most mechanics. Using head gasket fix is risky and can cause other issues. I caught my head gasket problem very quickly and a bottle of K Seal has fixed the issue for now. Here is why it worked and when a gasket sealer is not a bad idea to try: I had a very small...

Haven’t been active on here in a bit. I don’t have any pictures of the connections around the evaporator box. My first guess would be the AC switch is bad. Maybe check to see if you are getting voltage to the ac amp when you hit the ac on switch and you are hearing an audible click. Also your...

I already have a clutch kit that I completely forgot about in storage so that can be taken care of. I might just need to take an extra day off work to give me three full days. Going to go ahead and buy a new rear main seal just in case. Maybe contact the previous owner to see if that has been...

That’s exactly what I’m worried about. A snag. Redid my whole AC system last year and that was a great example of the unexpected.

Yeah when I bring free play back in the squeal comes back. If the free play is set to what FSM calls for it squeals. Springs are all good around the clutch pedal. I have played with that a lot. I can decrease to no free play and it disappears but the clutch isn’t happy like that. So I pretty...

I have what I have diagnosed to be a chirping throwout bearing. Sounds like a squeaky hinge being moved really fast lol I have tried to adjust this thing multiple times at the pedal but when I get the chirping to go away my clutch will slip under load. With it being a later clutch style there is...

Yeah it is. And more

This is the color and intensity of the lights bought on Amazon linked above with the original condoms on. Since the bulbs are rated 6000k you get a more blue look to them. I like the color. if you found a similar shape with a lower color temp rating it would be more green. This is with the...

That will help charging a ton. I would definitely replace both wires coming off the alternator and splice in as close to the battery as you can on one and as close as you can to the harness on the other wire. You can check voltage on the fuses also in the fuse box by putting your lead on the...

Before you throw anymore parts at it check your voltage output from the alternator. Take a meter and read your voltage on the post on the back of the alternator. It should higher than 13V. Then check your voltage at the battery terminal. Compare those two to see the voltage drop from the alt to...
