[litchy]

I know its a bit of a gimmick but gonna ask my mate Steve to have a go at this in the summer....They seem to have solved it on the Twingo's

Have you priced the monitor yet?

If it's just the data you want then you can get more from a bluetooth ODB reader and a cheap android device of some kind.
Everything from accurate MPG readings, A/F ratios and I would imagine boost pressures on the Meg engines.

Whilst that might be true, I think the Renaultsport monitor looks so good because it's part of the dash.

Does it require a particular radio to be installed? Cabasse?

I'm sorry but that looks horrific on that twingo, haha.

Lol, I agree. Makes it look like a taxi..

Wouldn't mind one in mine tho.

 

[Mentalpen]

Sorry but that look shocking imo.

Litchy you need to go down the 250/65 monitor route that actually as a use. As in throttle mapping.

only part of the clio monitor that is any use is the oil temp. FACT!

It would be if it was a measured value, but I believe it is a calculated value based on other measurements and an algorithm, so it's really not of that much use.

I have a RS monitor display that will be going in my 197 this winter, just for a bit of fun.

a few pages further along and it gets built in to the dash! :bat:

Sorry for hijacking thh thread but does anyone know if the 200/197 dash screen (not the RS monitor) is a straight swap? The reason I'm asking is because the 200 one has a better layout, it is updated etc. Apologies again..

 

[Mentalpen]

So the Clio monitor is a pointless toy then......

@fox sorry didn't look further but now I know it's only an estimate on the oil temp I won't ever bother.

Apologies for not taking time the time to read the whole thread. :001_huh:

 

[litchy]

It's just a bit of fun, I agree pointless but not everything needs to be functional....

 

[iAndy]

I love mine, it's just for fun. Love seeing how far off the G force I can hit it lol, use the 0-60 timer every now and then for a laugh

 

[Mentalpen]

But if you can get it to throttle map then you find it far easier to drive in the snow.

 

[iAndy]

Easy... Or fun? Mine will only go to a car park in the snow for play time other than that if we have any snow it will be rav4 time lol

 

[A2ON]

Id rather have a scan gauge if i did not already have a rs monitor . . . even though i do a scan gauge would be my choice given your level of tune and required monitoring points .

 

[Giles]

Lol, I agree. Makes it look like a taxi.

lol yep I think you right.
