If you watch the Kurosawa-san videos of the spoon car, on the first video you will see close up pics of their defi gauges. They don't show a far enough view to see where exactly they located them in the cockpit. Does anyone have any cockpit pics of the spoon car or know where they located their gauges?

Thanks!!

 

They're in the cluster inside the instrument area. It comes in a module, but the one they sell is different from the one in the video. The one they sell doesn't have the chrome ring around the gauge.

The cluster can be seen on pages 55 and 194 in HyperRev magazine.

 

I think the latest Spoon racer just has a Stack instrument cluster. It's the ultimate.

 

What is a Stack instrument cluster?

Thanks,

Stack is used extensively in Japanese tuner and race cars.

 

The Stack instrument cluster does not seem to be cheaper than the one from Spoon, however. And it looks like you need a bracket to fit it in the S2000 due to it's generic shape.

S2kRob-

That's not exactly true.

There are several different variations within the basic 81xx series STACK module. Not all have data logging capabilities.

The best thing about a multifunction display is that it minimises clutter. You rarely need to see (or are able to see) a bazillion gauges at the same time.

STACK systems are used in the Grand Am Cup, the Speedvision Cup, and other North American series. They are not "rare" at all- the relative low price coupled with good technical support make them a good choice. STACK displays are custom built to every order- there is no "standard" prebuilt system.

For street applications the custom STACK 8130P seems to be the usual route- incorporating many of the features one needs for a street car.
