Default Its custom dash time - lets see your stack stuff

should have all my lovely stack bits through next week from mike

went for the ST700SR, so if you gone of these, can i see how you mounted em please. also getting boost/egt/oil temp/fuel level

will look a bit odd on mine, as the SR is 80mm, and the guages are 52mm, i have 3 holes for gauges on the dash, so one will in clock area next to the SR
what you you have directly infront of you? boost i guess, and then the egt/oil temp/fuel level in the dash cutouts?

looks good Rod.

i will probably use a bit of carbon, and have the ST700SR in the middle, and may have to buy an additional volt gauge to fill a hole in tha dash lol, and have the boost and oil temp in the clock area.

also the idiot lights somewhere

Kev, i do like yours

i like the idea of going for the 80mm round display, but its getting other things to go in there aswell - without looking congested or a mix match of different designs etc.

Great spot! forgot about that!

When Redline shot the car, the boost gauge was off being repaired. So a design monkey must have photoshopped another speedo in!
