microtech dash
 

how much do they cost??

retail is $450au

I think I paid about $250 for mine.

yeah cuz its my friends 21st and he wants one and one of my other friends wants us to put in some money and it just so happened to be the around $440 and he hasnt told us what it is so i think that what it is might have to borrow it some time hehe

Dan (BlackFC) has mine, and he loves it so much I don't think I'm ever going to get it back! :p:

I dont have no dash. You must have given it to some other guy and have me mistaken.

thats $450au!!

Does the dash unit do a good job of replacing the stock guages? Or maybe what I really should ask is will I still need to buy separate aftermarket guages like boost, etc.? Or should I just invest in the dash unit and call it good?

That's what I'm doing and counting on. The Dash comes with a button that allows you to scroll through information on the unit, if I mount that button in a smart place I should be able to scroll through info just as fast as a gauge. I will keep my aftermarket boost gauge but will rely on the Dash for other vitals

Where have you guys with series 4/5's put the dash?

The Dash Unit can be mounted pretty much anywhere. I would reccommend placing it in front of the factory gauge cluster.

The dash unit has warning lights too right? This might be a good idea.

Yep, it's got a lighted shift counter (like the Ferrari Enzo does) and the shift lights also function as warning lights. They can be activated by water temp, air temp, or boost.

HHHMMMMM, I may have to add one to my order before this is over.

Does it have a speedo incorporated?

no speedo

all the fuctions such as boost and temp can be view on your laptop if you have the adaptor right?while your driving?
pardon me for being stupid

I Test fitted mine inftont of the gauge cluster, and it blocked too much IMHO. Too much of the tach, and too much of the speedo for my liking. Im going to put mine on the idiot cluster.

Man , I want to mount mine on the plastic around the column but, I don't trust it to hold. I don't need anything in the stock cluster but the speedo. Everything eles I have in aftermarket.

I don't have anymore space to mount stuff. I may be forced to put the thing right infront of me on the dash. I'd hate to do that.

I could always fab out somethimng so it mounts to the roof were the sun visor is................or mount it to a helmet & put it on when I drive the car. I


It'll be like star trek!

Yes, the Microtech software has a really cool display called "Data Gauges" mode - it shows analog-style gauges for all of the engine's inputs and outputs, and updates itself in realtime.

...and the only stupid question is the question that's never asked. :)
