Ye it is. Only done 1 track day so far as mainly use it on road, but I have done so much to her the last few years that it's pretty much a pure breed track car and becoming a waste on the road

Nice job...assume you will make the dials all square as they are at odd angles now

Cool, get some pics up of it in the car. How did you do the warning light graphics? They look really good

Looks good. The tachometer just needs a wire connecting doesn't it?

Ye caddy I only tried quickly to do it before I'm having a nice cold beer now, but what I thought was going to work never. I have a stinger v4 ecu so I connected it to an auxiliary wire, then went into the ecu and selected tacho output on that wire and it never worked. Any ideas? Is it a voltage that wire should see or is it done through earth???

I think the stinger is a cut down vipec? I have vipec but I wired the stack tachometer first....I can look it up but think you can pick up off coil (I don't have one) or alternator...it is in the stack manual.

The toucan display can read off my vipec too.
