[quote="petey"]You really have gone to town on your car and fair play it looks like a beast! When are you taking it to Prescott?
I've not done anything with mine since I did that trackday at Combe back in March



Why NOT ?
It’s was coming along well ????

Mine now is better at speed Pete ...horrible slow LOL

I’ll probably do Pugfest and then think about a few independent days depending on how it handles ?
It’s really set up for Tracks now and not just Combe LOL

I have a few things to Tweek and change and that’s me happy until my Sequencial in 2-3 years which WILL happen Thumbs up


Loving the updates mate, I log in from time to time to have a look.

I haven’t had the spare cash knocking about to sort mine out, but I haven’t given up or lost interest Smile

We've got one of those NT dashes - one of the first batch with the GPS and logging, etc - it's pretty good but I've only just this week got it working properly with the 4.1 firmware - had problems with it all the time up until now.

Read a few pages of this thread, good to see you restoring it to original condition rather than spending thousands modding it to a track car....

Where about are you in reference to Bristol as be nice to possibly pop round and have a look as it's clearly a labour of love/something.

Agree with you Mike Thumbs up

I would of loved the Stack full digital 7inch dash but it works out twice the price and to get it to talk 100% with my DTA would be fun .....

I must admit the DTA 5inch is very small up to what I remember LOL

Yes I’ve been told of nightmare stories also ....luckily I know Martin Fox of MEF Motorsport Who makes the DTA looms for Alex ...he’s said they are spot on now Thumbs up

Problem is Phil ...not many Digital dashes I really like at Autosport this year and the Stack one I reall wanted worked out £3200 complete with fitting and that’s just crazy ...even for me LOL

Yeah, the 4.1 firmware seems to have finally fixed all the gremlins...but we bought the dash direct from Alex at the autosport back in 2017 - so it's been a rather frusting journey LOL
Great when it works though.

Yes a lot of money for a block of Alloy and a bit of Carbon if it doesn’t work correctly Thumbs down
My fingers are crossed...
I’m using it for RPM and Sequencial gear number and anything else is a bonus ...I know a lot of money for just that ...problem is I’ve got separate pro Stack digital dials for everything really Whistle

Well they are from USA and £799.00 plus vat from Costco .....I’ve just got one off my customer for (half price) as he’s just splitting from his Wife and selling everything inc his jeyskis and Other toys ....got a lovely £8k Snapon tool box for £4K cash too ...no good to me....

It should make life 100% easier for me and hopefully pay for itself quickly?

PS the pair of jacks ...not the car LOL
