CA: I remember you guys were talking doing a heads-up display? What happened to that?

SB: Yeah, we were. We were thinking about doing a heads-up display, but the problem with stuff like that is, it takes a lot of time to experiment with making it work. I mean, you probably could make it work. But it might take two days, it might take a week, it might take three weeks. And we really don't have that much time to gamble with on these cars, because we need all the time we can get. So, a lot of times ideas come up and if you can make it work in a reasonable amount of time, you do it. If you can't, well — it's not worth sacrificing the rest of the project just for that one idea.

MV: And one sacrifice could mean other sacrifices.

SB: Because honestly, the heads-up display — part of the thing we wanted to do that for was for the visual gauge display. Mike found these Defi digital gauges that really highlighted the install well. That kind of took the cake. And you see on the steering wheel there's a part of that display also.

Seven digital gauges and a control module mounted on the steering wheel provide feedback on vehicle performance. Note the stick shift mounted to the right of the steering wheel.

CA: What is that part on the steering wheel?

SB: That's actually the controller for those other gauges. It controls all the functions of those other gauges as well.

CA: Very cool.

SB: So yeah, a lot of things changed, and you end up with some things that don't work out the way you want and some things turn out better than you thought.
