TID is Triple Information Display - Ie the time|date|temp display on the dash.

Does that make sense?

wiring should be there already so yea
the electrics arnt hard to do, its creating the PCB and controller for it

plus il have to wait for the components to arrive before i can do anything
but if ur dad cn make em in minutes, get him to make a few get em for sale on here. would make a fortune!

im sure i cn borrow one of my mates cars.
