    Since when do race cars ever make sense?

    And honestly, I would much rather build my car than buy it. Knowing that you put everything together, and having to learn how it works to be able to use it, thus knowing your car inside and out is far better IMO. And makes you way more useful as a driver when trying to set things up or diagnose issues.

    Hmmmm
    Looks like the St200 is just a tach.

    I think the St700 is the shiznit, but again, I love analog.

    Definitely a good one! But I think its way more exciting to make your own and see the results hopefully good and not bad lol

    Stack Instruments. ST200 - Perfect accuracy guaranteed for life. Suitable for all engines and ignition types. Fully water and dust proof. Features a maintenance free white LED backlight. Includes a comprehensive installation kit and manual.


    They're still expensive, as most stack stuff is, but $325 seems pretty reasonable. Of course, you get a lot more functionality from their race dashes. I just love analog.

    There's also this - http://www.stackltd.com/st700.html. I really want to save up for that. Would look awesome mounted center in the cluster. It's about half the price of the full digital dashes too.

    Sorry but the flairs on the white DSP car are ugly as hell.

    Dream build,tube chassis with full carbon wide body replica sporting an M5 V10 set WAAAY back and full on custom a-arm suspension.I drove a an old corolla race car with the engine set back and all controls set back to suit,a little funky at 1st sitting so far back but good enough to get me the canadian D-mod national solo 2 title.
