  1. Yep, I have a CAMS approved bolt in. It's just the jap cages that won't pass
  2. Planning on entering, but deciding whether my money could be better spent doing multiple track days down here...
  3. Some of the high end options has information in them such as suspension deflection etc, so I guess they're useful for people at all levels. It just depends what you want to unlock out of it I guess.
  4. Feel for you guys. I've been scammed before (albeit for car parts) and it's not nice at all. Hopefully the scale of this issue will prompt the police to do something about it.
  5. I think he was joking Jess Drag racers don't know what those bendy bits are for
  6. I guess the theory behind them again is keeping it as simple as possible in a compact unit rather than messing around with multiple units. Here's some of the Stack loggers perks: http://www.stackltd.com/video.html I guess it just depends on what you want, and what it's worth to you.
  7. I saw that on my105, very nice indeed
  8. I didn't take it with any ill feeling mate, no need to apologise! I just take what I hear with a grain of salt. I know that Stack dealers are not supposed to sell outisde their own countries, as some US and UK dealers wouldn't supply me to to distribution agreements, hence why I got mine from Japan. Stu: My reasoning for going to the Stack in the first place was to replace the gaggle of guages I had on my dash. As you said, the ECU records a lot of this info which is why at first I bought one from a trader on here which was a small display unit. I decided I wanted to keep the package neater, and sold everything which paid for my dash so I could justify the cost. I also wanted the ability to time laps, hence my purchase. Plus, I just really dig them
  9. I was following one a few weeks back. Impossibly fat in person!
  10. The wing is stock mate, it's a special car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E9 Nice spot Greg
  11. Both the Gulf and Martini livery make me weak at the knees!
  12. I'll sell you mine for 200k, then you can buy 19 with the rest and win with ease*. Deal? *you may have to push it though, it's not running
  13. Do track days in it Something doesn't need to be the quickest to be the most enjoyable. I don't like computer controlled cars as much as I do raw cars with the option of turning off all electronics. A '73 RS would be a lot slower than any of the cars mentioned on the track, but I'd take one over near on anything given the chance.
  14. Will be interesting to see if that is the case in reality. I guess I'll find out soon enough!
  15. Well I think V-sport are the Aussie distributors for Stack, so you may want to speak with them and find your best option. I think the Aim/Haltech stuff will work out cheaper for sure though. Stacks site: http://www.stackltd.com/ Shopping for a new dash is good fun, one of my favourite purchases! Enjoy
  16. HH is definately a great experience, can't wait to do it again in the 180 instead of the Barge-arse!
  17. I bought it off a mate who had brought it in from Japan and no longer planned on using it. I was lucky I bought when the yen was over 100. I was also lucky enough to buy the lap timer from the states very cheaply, so hopefully it works! The one thing to remember with the Stack's are that the accessories are very expensive (Lap timer is $500US online), so get the one with all the features you want straight up. The model with Fuel Pressure and Boost was over $1000 more expensive, which is why I got Greddy gauges to fill those roles. Troy makes a good point about visibility behind the wheel. That's another reason why I got the Stack, great visibility.
  18. I think if any of these dashes are in a pure street car it's an absolute waste of money. But for a street and track car I think the Stack has plenty of information. It displays fuel, speed, revs and has warning lights for anything else that you don't want to scroll through to. I'm also having indicators added to my mounting panel, as well as a boost and fuel pressure gauge (pictured) as I didn't want to spring for the more expensive model. What is it you feel is missing on the street?
  19. Have you driven Haunted Hills yet Andrew? If you haven't it's worth at least one trip, great little track
  20. I've seen so many 430's around over the past 6 months, more than I have 360's. I'm not at all surprised to see one now
  21. That why I went for the Stack: ease of installation and ease of adding new items to it such as the lap timer, logger, video etc. It has a great loom Thge Racepak look decent for the price though, considering the AUD is so poor right now making AIM's and Stacks even pricier.
  22. I think Jess means that the AIM's and Haltechs are the same, just rebadged. There are 3 different models in the range, and Haltech offers all three if I remember correctly. The Racepak display looks like the same units again, is that the case? My Stack is going in as we speak, I'll give you my thoughts on it next month.
  23. Sure was, bad move for Peugeot that one!
  24. You're right, it's all good publicity. Just thought it may have been better publicity for the old Pugs Bring something like this back please
