Default Temp gauge recalibration?

is it possible to recalibrate teh AU temp gauge so it has a half decent range?

Or is there a digital option to display various engine fluid temps AFR's etc?

You can put the LCD display into diagnostic mode to give you a range of data.

This may help http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=34

The temp gauge does work ... when she starts getting too warm .... it does rise above the "O".

Normal on mine sits around 94 deg C ... but when it starts rising though it does increase further ... when on the red it is close to 117 deg C. But does read up in increments.

When in the diagnostic mode though ... you don't get to see the Odometer or trip meter.

Digital tacho/speedo is cool though

who needs to see the tripmeter tho lol, i reckon that digital tacho/speedo would be great for people at the drags, especially if considering that the tachos are as far out as they are, plus a more accurate speed reading, and also being able to check a launch stall speed in an auto
