it displays oil pressure,diff temp,engine oil temp and manifold pressure

ever since i saw it i was looking for options, just wanted to share some links in case other people are interested, post back and let me know what you think..

PICAXE, is the name of a UK-sourced microcontroller system. They are an easy to program microcontroller and you can use them to control things such as lcd screens. like this:

Here is a cool lcd which is similar to the factory dash lighting and alpina gauge colours
