René van Meurs: 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four ‘Carlos Sainz’ limited edition

René van Meurs's goal was to build a street legal track day car, using high end parts only if possible, mainly from Japan.

His 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four ‘Carlos Sainz’ limited edition (number 2433 out of 5000 ever made, worldwide) has ungone comprehensive improvements to achieve improve the power, handling and overall quality of the car.

The ST185 GT-Four, a winner in the 1992, 1994 and 1994 World Rally Championships is an all-time classic. René has worked hard on making his the ultimate GT-Four. Among the many high-end modifications to the car, he installed a STACK ST8130 display. René says he chose STACK for its known quality and for its use in the WRC Celicas and Japanese top tuner cars. He says the integrated dash display is the a perfect all in one solution allowing him to dispose of other additional gauges.

BFO Motorcycles: switchBlade

Ever since the early 90s, after graduating with a first class honours degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Abertay, Dundee, Steve Atkins has wanted to produce his own motorcycle.  While pursuing a successful career as a car designer at such prestigious companies as Peugeot, Jaguar and Aston Martin, he spent his spare time designing his own bike and four years ago built a first prototype.

Based on the Honda Fireblade, BFO manufactures a kit costing around £6,500 plus VAT and, within a month, converts the donor bike into a bespoke motorcycle called the ‘switch:BLADE’.

The machine sports a Stack ST700, an integrated dash display with analogue tacho which offers multiple gauges in one instrument - perfect for Superbikes!

David "installed a Stack ST8130P Road/Rally Car Dash Display System. This display system is road legal, and I believe a similar system is installed in the Lotus Elise. This unit replaces all the original Manta GTE gauges and the additional gauges I have fitted over the years ."

Brian Hill's Toyota MR2

Brian Hill's Toyota MR2

The gauge cluster in my MR2 is a product offered by Stack, Inc. in the UK. http://www.stackinc.com. It is sometimes referred to as the SARD Stack in the JDM community, but such is not the case. SARD simply resold the Stack product. This cluster is quite common in Japan. I initially learned of the Stack product during my motorcycle racing days back in 1997-8.

Stack offers a variety of race display products for motorcycles as well as cars. The specific models that I have in the MR2 are the ST-8110SR Street Race Display in the dash and the ST-500 Tach Timer on the a-pillar. Both were purchased directly from Stack. At the time of purchase, the ST-8110SR was $2100.00, the ST-500 was $700, and I had an additional $200 in optional components. The housing for the ST-8110SR was custom made with fiberglass... All of that being said, I must say love the setup. The blue backlight at night is awesome. You will see this setup featured in the opening scenes of Apotheosis. It is the most commonly inquired about modifications and is my personal favorite.
