      Too much data on the screen at once, I assume this uses some sort of canbus similar to OBD2 which has a poll rate limit, example poll rate is 60 times a second.
      You add one extra variable, they can update 30 times a second. You add 20 like on the digital dash here and you are lucky if you can update 2 times a second.

    The only things with this mod that you might want to think about a little more is where you're getting your power from. it's tough to run wires under the dash and have them go where you want them, and because of that I often want to connect it to the first 12V bus I can find close by, but what it looks like you did is basically run your dash screen (which I imagine being somewhat power hungry) on the same fuse as one of your under the dash lights. The circuitry for the light is not designed to pull the same number of amps as your screen probably is. Now, as long as you didn't change the value of the fuse the worst thing that will happen is you might have problems with the fuse popping (which when you're driving down the road can be a big problem). If you did change the fuse however you've then created a fire hazard (you seem smart enough to not do this, so I'm assuming you didn't). Neither of these scenarios is a guaranteed problem though, so you might get away with it, but your viewers who want to try this on a different car might not.

    maybe instead of a display... setup a monitoring routine that uses voice alerts to tell you of overshots...
    Like a Datsun 280ZX, instead of saying "Driver door open", it could say "Overtemp", "Critical Overtemp" "Low Oil Pressure", "Low Fuel", "Tire pressure low", "Water pressure low", etc, along with an acknowledge button to prevent it from repeating too often... Then a little Arduino line display to show the errors and that the system is normal. Maybe a "test button" to set the volume, etc. I can say that most active displays don't do well for night driving, and need a "red only" mode, where all the pixels shift to night mode. Or otherwise cover it in a thin red acetate film.
