In this thread - "what would you do differently" a lot of folks said, "ditch the chrono pack".

I understand that the center speedo is more "traditional." Okay, so let's say I ditch the chrono ($250) and go back to the original center speedo. What's your vote?

I vote for center speedo.

I'm a fan of oil temp and pressure gauges.

Its a sports car/hot hatch!

Coming from a two seater with all the typical gauges, it was a must on my MCS, ordered it without seeing it!

You dont get a boost gauge for the super charger. You get gages which are all in all, rather worthless because they are set in such a way that they dont show change unless there is signficant change. At this point, your little light saying the same thing will tell you this. Center mounted speedo is very classic. Thats part of a mini. Dont rip out the mini heart.

Hadn't heard it put like that before. Ouch.

Huge vote for the HK audio though. I can't imagine that speakers are worth $550. I gotta be missing something.

The HK is worth it...very clear. It helps that the car is so little and all the speakers are big.
