too bad i don't race my car on track, i think i'd lose it if i lost all the work i put into my car for a day's worth of fun.

it's good to see some sponsors still stepping up to the plate though.

from how I read it, it doesnt have to be a track car. just a well known car or a great well documented build to showcase his work. although he does mention race/drift people also.

my last FC had a custom cluster. would really like to see a Broadfield version.

If I were to do a custom cluster, I'd buy a koso unit. Everything all in one. Paint the oem cluster black. Mount this unit in front of it. Done and done. No need for 58 fast and furious gauges. I installed one on my last street bike and enjoyed it.

I think you missed the point. this "free" cluste he is giving away is so he would custom fit that koso unit. its to elevate the build to a professional level using any gauges you want.

if you like a plain race dash look then check out his own cars' new custom dash

vs. his old one that he just parted out:


its hard to see the high level of fitment of his gauges in these pics. I have seen them in person and they are flawless. the race pack is flush and the buttons are replaced with new pieces to articulate the movement due to the race packs new depth. go check out his "new" build thread or "rebuild" thread if you doubt his skills or want to increase your own.

here you can see how mounting a race pack can vary from "painting the cluster black and installing" vs. professional mounting
