Dash Instrumentation
Instruments for the cockpit have been a concern for some time. Fortunately, after some searching, I have come across a couple of reasonable electronic dash units that would prevent the need to cluge mechanical drive mechanisms for a tachometer and speedometer.
AIM TG-Log Dash
AIM MyChron3 Gold
The MyChron Light TG Log at $500 is the most affordable box that I've found that displays both rpm and speed. I need both functions since I will be driving to rpm at the track and spped on the street. If speed in mph was not needed, AIM Sports builds a more affordable kart dash for $300. The second unit is the MyChron 3 Gold, an automotive targeted unit for $900. The parts to upgrade the more affordable box for datalogging with auxiliary sensors would bring that unit up to the cost of the MyChron 3 Gold, so buying big pays off if the extra capability is really desired. I still have time to decide and time to hope prices keep dropping.
