Cheap upgrade for a car, add at temp gauge

Posted on May 2, 2014 by robertwilkie

Nice simple upgrade, basically get one of those cheap digital temp displays and run the probe outside the car.  Now if it was wired into the car power I would be even more impressed. http://www.instructables.com/id/Upgrade-Your-Old-Car/
