mark248am 346 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 A carbon wrap could also be an option (probably easier as well) and could potentially blend into the interior better. The 430 Cup already uses a matt carbon binnacle so wouldn't be too out of place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that would have to be well wrapped, otherwise it looks cheap, which would not be Lotus-Like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark030358 616 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 This is what I am thinking to try first.... https://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/car-dashboard-parts-coated-in-carbon-fibre-hydrographic-film-painted-black/ but with a matte finish.

Suto 11 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) What about a real carbon binnacle and not a fake one ... This plastic thing really looks cheap... for about 1700 € ?! Edited December 21, 2019 by Suto Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really! You're not paying 1700 for the bloody binnacle but for the display, electronics, the R&D etc... Maybe they'll create a carbon one and then relieve your of 2,000 for the kit. 3 Quote Alcohol.

I agree with you ... much better ... it could be a good solution: however I would say before waiting for the good job (I'm sure) of @alias23. NB: Mark you saw my MP to you ?

I'd best get some miles in and running impressions on mine, so we can focus the attention back onto the actual dash. Seems wherever the discussion is, it's regarding the sodding binnacle! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,767 Posted December 22, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 For future ref what is the reference number for the Alcantara? When I got my Evora done we (Allon White) used Alcantara 9002 for the Evora, the Exige looks much lighter. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

Mark030358 616 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 At the moment the extra sensors do not display, they only log. Firmware upgrade due next year to address this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Arun_D 742 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I went out for a little run earlier. The gear learning mode is a breeze and seems completely seamless. Set it going via the menu, go for a litle drive and after a couple minutes it's done. I'm trying to work out whether I prefer the analogue or digital (horizontal bar) rpm readout. Digital has a lot of dead space when driving on the road, but the analogue one doesn't look all that great to me, and annoyingly it decides to show you revs in a live number too, which I find a bit distracting. I'll stick to digital for now. Shift lights are nice and bright but I think come on a little early by default at 5200rpm. I need to reset more to what i had on my Solo2DL. Otherwise I'd like to see a cruise control tell-tale light and an exhaust flap message when I hit the button, both of which i believe will be addressed. OMG that plastic!!!111 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martrack 20 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Can't you set max scale to 7000 RPM, so remove 8000 / 9000 RPM points, so that you better use all screen width ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woots 71 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Awesome, are they promising decent through life support via updates with these then? Appreciate people jumping on this soon so we can reap the rewards down the line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark430 5 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Installed my one a few days ago. Need to learn the gears. All working okay, but did get some mixed up graphics a few times on start-up. After a decent run this seems to have sorted it self, will have to wait and see if it happens again. Agree digital layout better than analogue, but guess this will just be a personal choice. The housing moulding is okay and fits reasonable well, it looks okay in the car but a carbon fibre wrap or alcantara would help finish it off. Will be speaking to a car wrap guy in the New Year and see if a carbon wrap is possible. if I get it done will post some pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was thinking the same. This unit is on my radar, but seems to lack a lot of customisation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
