Default Another Stack set-up for Sapphire this time!

Just done another "plug and play" set up for a Stack ST8130P to go in a lovely 500+bhp Sapphire (soon to be appearing in PF).





A loom has been made so that all you have to do is plug it directly into the Ford set up (as original), so it is just a case of swapping the dashes over . The new "idiot" lights then work straight off the old set up. Then all you have to do is connect the usual Stack sensors and away you go!

This will be one of the most complete Sapphire's in the country (second only to Rod's), and can be seen in all it's glory at ND. You'll spot it a mile off, as it is sporting the trademark R&B white and gold colour scheme and obscenely large water-cooled brakes .

The above gauge is £1,146.00... The plug and play loom option is an additional £100 - £150 (depending on the quantity of idiot lights).

Rich,
Justin has my old 60mm GReddy's and they won't fit there. Funny how the gauges have made their way full circle back where they came from (albeit in reshelled form) .

By all accounts, the car looks awesome.

Very jealous, but I still have the 186mph readout on my dash

Stretch,
That was just put on in case Justin wishes to retain it. It can run without it, as the Stack is a fully sealed unit (and I would imagine that Justin will take it off).

I can run mine without as well. BUT there is quite a big gap between the shroud when that not there.And doesn't look so factory.May be worth looking into for fututre orders though.

No, there is only about ½" at the bottom at most, as it isn't as set back as a normal one for this reason .

Justin,
Jen is pleased that you and Jason are such light-weights when it comes to alcohol consumption, as she can finish it all off herself .
