306 Estate GTi6

[ronj]

Thanks guys, really appreciate my work getting some credit .

@Niall: mechanically the seats are a direct fit. But I still have to move up the motors on the bottom since driver side is fouling the crossmember a bit. Which makes front to rear adjustment a bitch. The screen in the dials I built from scratch.

@Eeyore: I can do a guide about the trip computer, the code can be found on my GitHub account teensy-dash. Also I can translate the guide I did for the stalk from the Dutch forum. The HDD is powered from the radio USB directly it can provide 1 amp of juice.

@bashbarnard: diesels are way to expensive in the Netherlands for the miles I drive. So to have some go I thought the GTi6 engine would be a good alternative.


Maybe a bit more info about the dash.

Of course it is centered around the 1.8" display in the 306 dash. That display is driven by a Teensy 3.1 microcontroller, an ARM based beast with lot's of IO and memory. It couples directly to the RPM and wheel speed signals in the dash. So for RPM/Speed/Shift-light/Gear/Trip computer no external mods to the car, besides the dash, are necessary. For fuel it taps into an injector ground. The rear parking sensors I reverse engineered the protocol and also requires two wires running to the Teensy.

Plans for the future are:

- Oil temp/Oil pressure
- Tire pressure and temperature support
- High/low alarms

Here is a picture of the parts used (most of it at least). And adding it in the dash.
