Digital dash from a prelude, would be awesome if it could be grafted in somehow.

I would imagine that the small ecu that is with it is driven by the engine ecu, and would be a nightmare to get it working. Looks good though.

I'm hoping to use the instrument panel from a Subaru Vortex (XT to those on either side of the pond) myself. Why? I'm running a Vortex engine & ecu. I'm hoping that we can get it to work.

I liked that dash when it came out - its fitted to the last-but-one prelude, the one with the Dairylea triangle rear lights (bleugh). I think what I liked most about it was the narrow wraparound shape, which would complement the vertically challenged Nova cockpit nicely. But my preference would be to skip the analogue dials and go for digital readouts and horizontal linear bargraphs.

I had a Lancia Trevi dashboard stashed away for the Nova build that never happened. Went on Ebay some years ago.http://th.interia.pl/40,b79b947201674307/beta-trevi005.jpg

Would look cool, but would be a nightmare to set up.
You would definately need a laptop with the controller area network, on the go, trying to trace every signal.
You would be better off buying a new digital dash from acewell etc and the taking it out of its plastic casing fascia and building it directly into your dash pod.
