Good luck with that.

Can't turn your falcon into an R35 GTR that easily..

well after having light shed to that situation iv come to the conclusion that ill throw that idea out the window lol and just alter the speedo and tacho surrounds so that they look a bit cooler. ill make my own even :). thanks for the input, much appreciated.

You can do it pretty simply with a data logger & some software. I have done it both with Innovate hardware or TechEdge. This is a screenshot of a rough TechEdge Winlog dashboard I put together. I've since cleaned it up a fair bit.

I have a 2nd hand Innovate kit on ebay (see the Classifieds forum) and I sell brand new discounted TechEdge gear on www.tiperformance.com.au!

Cheers,
Jason
