How about this instead of the Rarri http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/18/1...p-for-auction/
IIRC that was meant to be catastrophically bad to drive, and will probably fetch a stupid sum of money anyway.

Dash update.
So all the old VDO gauges are out...
new dash panel and old one ready to be cut
Dash in place
template for cutting for AIM dash
other gauges template and for the new Auxilary switch panel.
New Switches in... and Fuel gauge and boost. (Aim dash does display boost... but I prefer an analouge boost gauge) I asked Stu to paint the Bezel on the Aquamist gauge to match...
much better with black Bezel
So... we have gone from Original dash when I bought it
to Evo 1 with the First Carbon and the new VDOs...
to THIS! Westy dash Mk3.
REALLY REALLY pleased with it!!!! HUGE THANKS TO STU!!!!!!
I did actually like the first dash he did for me with the VDO gauges... But it all ended up looking a bit 'Mission control' after I started sticking more and more gadgets on it! and although I prefer the look of anlaouge gauges, You just can't look at them on track in a car as open and fast and mental as this. Soooo says you lost oil pressure, by the time you looked at the gauage it would be too late.
Sean Bicknell and Stu both have AIM dashs and although I don't like Digi layout they explained that if you set the alarms properly and very high. Then you know that if you see a red Red light. You HAVE to stop as its BAD! So I can explain that to anyone that drives it
also the AIM dash will link with my new AIM Smarty Cam!!!! only trouble was I needed a new ECU to run it
So MASSIVE THANKS AGAIN TO STU!!!!!!!
LEGEND!
can't wait to use it!

where did you get yours from mate?
it's going to be a whole new thing for me, i'm actually going to have to use my brain and get tyre temperatures right rather than just getting excited and going balls out
