i was going too have a go at doing one this year,, but i don't want to use external sensors, but de-code my can-bus from my ecu,,,, but sadly the can-bus is a little bit more complecated than i first though

I've got this in my Lotus.
Its by a company called AIM. It will take 8 analogue input feeds that you can configure to be what ever sensor you like. everything on the display is totally configurable and it will also data log everything. It will also take an RS232 feed from your ECU and datalog all of that info as well.
It does sooooooooooo much more than the best Stack and it does it all for less than half the price.

To me it looks like a cheap way of displaying all the info that you need to know about.
It doesnt look "bling" or "impressive" but thats what you would expect from a cheap product.
I know some people using them and they work pretty well

yeah i not knocking the fact that im sure it displays all the info needed.
also alot of these systems display what the ECU is telling them.
other dashes i.e STACK, uses its own sensors.
i suppose it depends what u want the dash to display, i.e what the ECU is seeing, or seperate readings.
