Just out of pure curiosity as to whether its possible and/or been done before?

I'm just browsing the web to find different options and came across the Stack steering wheel display which is very formula 1-esque. Is it a reasonable option or a bit overkill?
Cheers guys,
Alex

I't horrendously expensive for what amounts to a couple of 7 digit LED displays!

Barring the cost, is this set-up road legal or for track use only?

I suspect this would fall under the description...

Note 1: The speedometer must be of a type suitable for M1 vehicle use. The types manufactured for bicycles, racing only, those that rely on GPS or those that require switching as a separate function to that of operating the vehicle or those that have a separate power source from the vehicle or where they do not operate as an automatic function when the vehicle is driven are not permitted. Where the device is in question the presenter may provide evidence as to the suitability of the device for road use from the manufacturer of the device.

In particular the 'racing only' bit.

On my MoTeC steering wheel you can configure the pages how you want, so you could have it display speed on all pages.

The input can be from any number of the 4 wheel speed sensors or you can configure it to do an average of what ever you want. In addition I have GPS speed (it also does track maps and lines).

My Elise uses the same system of a hall effect wheel speed sensor so they can't have a problem with that.

If you want you can even set an alarm to warn you of a certain speed.

I'm not suggesting you go the MoTeC route whereas the Stack system may be expensive the MoTeC stuff is stupid expensive. Though I would expect similar systems would be able to be configured.

IMHO, any dash or steering wheel that is configurable is a big bonus as you can get rid of a lot of stuff, set alarms and shifts lights and most will do data logging.
