should i keep the stack dash ore use the busa clocks?
i currently have the stack 8100 dash in my caterham but rev counter only goes to 8k. my hayabusa engine has a set of clocks with it,so should i keep
the stack and sell the busa clocks and fit a seperate rpm gauge. or should i sell the stack (which is worth a small fortune) and fit the busa
clocks,with seperate oil pressure gauge?
what do yopu guys think is the best way? cheers

Busa clocks with separate oil pressure gauge. Sell the stack and release some cash!

Do you want a quality, easy to read dash that brings a touch of class,reliability and accuracy or a set of toy looking bike clocks??

Although you mentioned fitting an additional rpm gauge, I think it would frustrate the hell out of me glancing at the stack when revving over te 8 k
mark, so I vote bike clocks!

I vote for the Stack dash any day of the week. Just get the rev counter swapped B-) its one of the things I would have loved for mine, but now
I've got the bike clocks cut into the dash I don't want to patch the hole, or shell out for a new dash/scuttle

I have the 8100 in the race car, but I also have the ST500 in the road car. Really nice quality dials that can be programmed and adjusted easily if
you change wheels/tyres/engine.
BUT - I always keep the bike clocks. Leave the clock plug in the loom somewhere, so that when you get an issue with the engine, you simply plug in the
clocks for the fault code. Hayabusa's are great for this.

you have to send it back to stack. Not cheap but worth it.
You can monitor all the above with the hayabusa engine too. Are your clocks billet or a composite material on the back?
I can imagine that its an expensive engine change by the time its done

That was brand new will all sensors and lap timing gear, also a programmable one too.
In reality you're looking at about £150 to get yours changed(it includes new glass) and you'll keep a quality item that you're going
to use every time you drive it. They look great also and lots of the nicer caterhams have them fitted.

yeah. i have the lap timer also but wont need it. might sell that and the busa clocks with speedo healer,and send the dash back to stack. that way i
should be able to keep the sensors from the stack set up.

There's no way I would have a set of Busa clocks in a Caterham... keep it classy and get the Stack RPM changed. 
It's Evolution Baby!

Quality first and foremost, keep the stack

are you refering to the bigg cc billet sump with swinging pickup? i was looking at these and heard good stories about them. but then i heard varios
people have blown engines racing with a dry sump set up.which is supposed to be the safest route!

I'll find out for you what it is, only issue is ground clearance but your installation may be higher as h ran two engines
