Seeking Test Pilots (discount for photos)
Project car and a runabout is a common scenario. I can pop a 2nd fitting kit (screen/cable/wire clips/mounting) into the box free of charge if you fancy an install in both.
Tango - I'd start at the radio head unit, VSS is often on the ISO plug. Else behind instruments, or as a last resort from the ABS ECU. If you're lucky, all the required wires will be accessible from the footwell so you can sneak the power/signal cable between the dash and the windscreen, and make all the connections underneath without too much dismantling.
If you fancy a second set of eyes, feel free to forward any wiring diagrams to the email address above and I'll try find the relevant wires.
Toxo - I've got the MkII MR2 pretty covered via the MR2OC, but still have an opening for MkI/MkIII info.
MkIII Fiesta? Sure - the offer stands for anything! I suspect "daily drivers" like Fiestas (probably the MkIV more than the MkIII mind) could well end up as my bread and butter sales that actually pay the bills, with the "halo cars" and any "classic cars" more just for the fun of it. Drop us a line if you fancy it anyhow.
You know the answer to that 2tongues!

Do you know what the optimum viewing angle is thinking about mounting on the room of the car projecting onto the top of the screen instead of the bottom.....
Mine arrived today looks to be a great piece of kit will have a go at fitting it to the stagea this weekend

You're not going to see the reflection in the screen if its roof-mounted I'm afraid. Cool idea, but the screen rakes the wrong way: You look forwards at the screen. Screen is at approx 45 degrees. If the screen were a mirror, you'd just see the dashboard. mostly you see through glass, but there is some reflection of the dashboard, and that's what the SpeedView is using.
You can have the image projected higher up on the windscreen if you like by moving the display further away from the base of the screen (move it towards you) but eventually you'll run out of dashboard!
Why not power up the display and wave it around a while first?
The centre of the ciggy lighter is (+)ve and the outside is (-)ve. If you have a phone charger or similar kicking about you can wrap some of the red wire around the 'pin' on the end and some of the black wire around the body then carefully slide it in for a quick connection.
You'll soon see where looks good. On Land-Rovers and classics with a really vertical screen the display is best tilted towards the windscreen slightly, but on modern stuff near-horizontal is ideal.
Don't tilt it towards you too much otherwise you might see the projection and the reflection at the same time - this can be annoying as the projection is much brighter than the reflection!
Good good

I'm assuming I can find a feed on my emanaage blue which will make life easier as that sitting staring at me whilst driving lol

Love how they always show 20/40/60 as the big numbers too, rather than 30/50/70. At least the smaller ticks are 5 mph not 2 mph. (my old MX5 clocks would have '20' then 9 little marks and '40' so it wasn't easy to ID 28 or 32 if that makes sense?)
Does anybody do a converter/set of dials that count 20-40-60-80-100-plenty? (big spaces from 0-100 mph then squash everything over that into a little bit) The opposite of the tachos that run a scrunched up first part:

Same problem as the Porsche crowd - one needle width is 5+ mph and its impossible to read. :-o
