Has anyone added a clock to their S2000? I know the stereo has one, but I have been keeping the door closed (and it is a long look down to it).

I didn't realize how much I glanced at the clock in my other cars until I don't have one in a good spot.

I would prefer a allways backlit clock (off of 12v) rather than something I had to push a button on to light up.

I would not mind having an external temp readout either - I miss that too.

I looked in some older messages, but several of the models people added are no longer available.

The auto-dim mirror with temp looks OK, but I have not seen one with a clock.

Thanks!

Hi there...I've been going at this too...my plan is to take out the coin holder (piece directly in front of the armrest) and stick a 1987 Accord clock in there...

Not the most convenient place but more convenient than on the always-hidden radio...also, it's amber and the face is the same size as the slot so it's not intrusive enough to take away from the look of the interior--which I like

However, I'm still waiting for Rick or Muz to make a direct replacement

Who uses the coin slot anyway?

 

I figure if I can't find something else, I will get a stick on clock for now. Either a "giant" LCD or a glow-in-the dark analog.

I have a Formotion clock and thermo mounted on the bars of the VTX. They make a stick on, glow in the dark version.

Scroll down to near the bottom to see the stick on stuff. I don't know how well the glow works - if street lights, etc is enough to "charge" it or not.

The thermo I have on the bike (with a black case and face) is VERY sun-sensitive, so I may not bother with one for the S2000 if I go this route.

I found a clock/external temp thing at a site in Britain. It has a 12v lead for ilumination. No idea if they sell/ship to the US and the site also does not have the dimensions.

Let me know if you find something good

You wouldn't want a digital clock? To go with the theme from the speedo/oil temp/fuel gauges?

 

You want giant? And glow in the dark? No problem! The headlights behind you will light this baby up real good.

Ok, Ok! I know, this one's getting a bit old but you left it wide open for me.

So seriously, this is what I have and where I "used" to have it. It's one of those digital clock/thermometer displays with night illumination in this eerie green color. Push the button on the right and it stays lit for about 3-4 seconds. I have the temp probe between the sheet metal just in front of the driver's door.


I didn't like it up high like that. It was too obtrusive so I installed in the radio door.

 

That looks nice (the digital one, not the analog). Do you know the model and who makes it? I know, you probably got it at "Canadian Tire" or some place that is not around here

It would be perfect if it had 12v lighting on it.

Thanks,

Dennis

It's IN the door. Otherwise, the door won't open fully. I dremeled out a hole and glued it in the hole, ran the wire out the back and under the dash. The radio door panel is not that expensive so if and when I ever sell the car, I'll just replace the whole panel.

Yes, it's from Canadian Tire - sorry!
It runs on a AAA battery and even if you use the light a couple times a night, it'll still last a year or two.
