Looking into buying a dash for the track nova but unsure what is really out there. I'm either going to buy a complete dash or make one from seperate gauges mounted on a pices of carbon fibre. Its' going to have to fit in a standard nova dash

If data logging is present it will need to work with my emerald and also rev to 9500 rpm so that singles out the vx220 dash :cry:

The ones i have seen so far are ones like these:

It'd help if anyone can suggest any others!!!! :thumb:

No real help, but the 2nd one looks awesome and is very easy to use and read. Everything is right there to see ad works well.

I love the Stack dashes, analogue revcounter and digital info is the perfect combination IMO!

had experience with the aim, very good and all drivers seem to prefer them in the cars to a stack as i have taken a few of the stacks out for the aim, but out of all of them like these i prefer the pi dash meself, can incorporate data logging and looks superb, very sllek and lovely to work with and use too, both from a data logging side and a drivers useage side :thumb:

here is a linky (http://www.cosworth.com/Default.aspx?id=1089661) to it.

I have a Stack in my Nova.
Nice piece of kit. Only downside is 'Stack'!

They wont deal with Joe Public so you have to go through a dealer, so trying to find a 'good price' wasnt easy.

I have recently had, i think, a sensor failure & trying to info from them is like trying to get blood from a stone!

All depends also on your budget.

Motec is another one nobody has mentioned but you will need 'DEEP' pockets!

SPA stuff is excellent quality, and their customer service is top notch.

I've never been keen on their dash display system, to me it looks like the instrument binnacle from a motorcycle has been installed in a car.........
