digital dash/data logging

Has any one had any experience with the AiM Sports -MXL Pro digital dash?

Or Race Studio 2 software?

Product Link here: http://www.aimsports.com/products/mxl-pro/

Its not for my beemer, but for my WRX (pure track car)... Just seems like a better option than the motec dash.

Looks sexy:

Contact me if you want one of these, i can get you a good deal, with custom work done if necassary.

Its located in the US, so shipping might be the only larger expense.

PM me for more info.

MXL Pista starts at 1799, Pro is 2299.

You might want to look into the Xg Log, only 999 and will do everything you need.

Thanks but its ok, I'm happy to pay what they sell the unit for in Oz.

I was just intrested in people thoughts on the actual unit itself.

I have no experience with the mxl, however I have had experience with the Gold auto. Its a very nice set up. Very attractive, and sooo easy to read. I understand that the MXL has digital data logging and track mapping. Id be very happy to get my hands on this set up.

Marks with the mcoupe has the gold and it seems to have tons of features for a much cheaper price then the STACK cluster.

You have the Motec dash dont you Dado? -I think I remember seeing a pic of it.

How have you found it? I have used the Motec Dash years ago in Porsche Cup but found it a bit expensive for what it is at the end of the day.

I like it a lot and it's very accurate.

I've used the Race Studio software. Easy to use and quite powerful. Be sure to check out the DaVid model as well.

Xg log is pretty decent, I set my car up with ti for this season, steering position, throttle position, etc etc etc. Worked flawlessly, got lots of data already.

The service i was offering was more than just the unit, it was custom work to be done to get it prepared for your car.

I'd suggest getting the MXL PISTA at intl price of $1799US, XG LOG will most likely do all you need for $999US, however it has a smaller dash, but is still more then enough for the e36 dash.

Yeah, that's the telemetry, you can also download the data and get the other channels and do the usual track mapping, analysis etc.

The XG Log is actually quite a bit cheaper then the MXL pista. Also the Xg log has two accelerometers, the MXL's have the second one disabled.

Depends on your application, financial situation and future plans for upgrading.

If you want a nice small simple dash with a nice junction box, with some expandability, XG Log is great, $999 for kit, a couple bucks for sensors/extension cables, etc and you are good to go.

MXl Pista has some benefits, and just as many downsides compared to the xg log, just depends on your use.
