    The thing about our clocks is that the temperature sensor only goes on when it's reached a threshold. Where what you really want is something that measure resistance. Since that's directly proportional to heat.

    A thermocoupler around the spark plug is the best one.

      Is there no way to use the sensor from the Older model DT to put on a temp gauge? but otherwise Do you mean something like this?

        @LJK_hunter That's a good shout!

        But then what's the point when you could just use that gauge there.

        Remember you will have to calibrate the sensor with the old dtr model. Or use the DTR clocks. But then the wiring loom will probably need to be spliced

          I think i will just buy the gauge as it seems the easiest option, although i do prefer the DTR clocks but i don't really want to be cutting into my wiring. Iv'e had enough electrical issues from an aftermarket alarm a previous owner put on.

            @LJK_hunteYes Or get something like mine

            http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p488/calum122/Vapor Stealth/DSCF1320.jpg

            Which has everything you will need including shift lights.

            I scanvenged the old plugs so I don't need bullet connectors. It's pretty OEM.

            But comes with Time, Temperatures, RPM's, Speed, Trip Meter. Total Meters.

            It's pretty good. Mines an RE.

                  That looks like a Koso DB 01r digital speedo @CYBER-NINJA

                    Vapor Stealth. Very good unit highly recommended it. It does run off batteries though and they do die.

                    You do splice it into your loom. But when you turn it off you cut the power then it runs off batteries. Very good though.

                      I shelled out just shy of £30 recently for a brand new temp gauge for my TDR as I couldn't find one used that was for showing the temperature rather than just flicking on a light. Are you telling me that they use the exact same temp gauge?!

                      TDR 125 - 2001
