Just after as much info as possible on these as i am interested in getting one. does anyone know of any websites where I can read up on them, buy one?

For those that have them, what were they like to fit, any possible complications i could encounter etc.

Thanks very much.

Jamie



Edit - Broster informed me that what i like is actually a stack dash, silly me

getting mine to fit took a bit of hacking away at the back of the pod, once its in obviously you have the gaps at the sides and top to fill. Wiring isnt too bad to be honest just can take a while. If you want when i get home ill try hunt out the diagram for wiring. As you prolly know there are 2 typres one with a speak style rev counter and an arch style rev counter. Also they normally light up yellow, however guy on mig sells special films to go over them so you can have whatever section light up whatever colour you want.

Best bloke ot get one off is Mike Rainbird, if your serius I'll get you a number for him.

Here is mine....





Not a 2 minute job to get it fitted. But the dash and sensors are of the best quality. You get what you pay for!

At the moment I don't have and indicators lights etc...

But you can buy a small pod which has all the nessesery lights on it from Demon Tweeks. I've had one on order for ages, but it still hasn't come!

Another option (which my mate has done, but space is tight on a Corsa, his is in a Mk3 Astra) is to wire a load of lights up for each. Bit of an arse of a job though.

I got the shift light for it the other week. Nice touch, you just go into a menu on the dash and set what RPM you want it to come on at.

Mine came with fuel pressure as an option, it was about a grand, can't find the reciept!

Grands not loads and that pod seems like a good idea.

All seems pretty straight forward and im guessing you dont have any problems come mot time?

im gonna add this to my todo list, but at the bottom
