Ultima Build

[David T]

Looks awesome so far. Going to be fantastic when completed.

Is the footwell shared or will there be a divider?

For the IVA i'm leaving it open. Once the car has passed I'll fit the foot brace for the passenger.

Contemplating building a removable divider to mount a screen/tablet and relocate the heater controls. Similar idea to the new Volvo dash.

Or go for the Tesla approach. Maybe a tad over-sized!

Boy am I impressed and puts some of my build to shame - honest.

That Tesla screen is massive. I'd like something that fits in with the car interior rather than taking over ideally.

Always have plenty of time with my build due by both delays between purchases and working away. Means I get to be OCD and make plenty of templates/ dry run attempts.

Looking for ignition and fuel system components now but won't be purchasing until May

Mr Mango has a screen / iPad / touchy feely thing on the dash, being a clever bu99er he's bluetoothed it to the ECU so when it's not being a sat-nav, it shows dials for engine parameters.

This sounds interesting.

Well, in the absence of MangoFury (I'll PM him to look here but I think he's still busy with his house move) I believe he got a Bluetooth module that plugged into the megasquirt & a 6 or 7" tablet thing. I think he downloaded an ap that displays the megasquirt engine management data as circular dials (pressures, temps, durations maybe), but obviously is still does all the other stuff the basic tablet will do like being a sat-nav. I guess you could do the same with any small screen & the older ones must be cheap enough on Ebay. You could have keypad ignition.

Think it was an ODBII bluetooth dongle and the Torque app. Or at least that is one way to do it.

Aeroman has an iPad in his Morgan SP1 with the all the dials on other than the Rev counter.

It also has a video of the build which I thought was agreat idea.

I do like the idea of a key board key as long as you remember you tablet
