This looks like an interesting bit of kit!

Likes like there is clear monitoring for an array of inputs :D

Couldn't see any prices though :(

Oh mama! :shock: Dats lovely! 8) Couldn't see it on the English site though, only the VSD heads up type display, which I also thought was rather interesting! :D I'd be interested in Defi's pricing on that though, along with more info on the inputs etc. Looks like a quality bit of kit though I must say 8)

Cheers,
Mark

Kris, 241,500 Yen is mentioned at the top of the page :oops: :lol: ...translates to about £1,200 which is similar money to my MXL :shock: Looks a good piece of kit but still not priced competitively for the mass market IMO.

Don - yes I have spotted the price and arrived at £1200 as well! :shock:

I take it that they don't want to sell many of these units!

How is the MXL dash looking?

I'm having a big push this weekend to install it so hoping the weather is reasonably dry.

The other sad thing about the Defi is that the list price will not be what you pay

They have several statents to the fact that this is not intended to be for Jo public. It seems that they are going to have an authorized dealer install only program in place

This will probably rule it out of the market on both price and availabliity :(

Hey ho - nevermind. Its not as if there aren't other options out there. This is one of those icing on the cake type things anyways TBH, something you do once you've already done everything else so I doubt many of us would really be in a position to actually buy one just yet anyways :wink:

Cheers,
Mark

Mark, just to be different I'm actually doing it BEFORE I do anything else :) I suppose you could argue that I've done a bit to improve my ST205 over stock :wink: but not to the extent of risking the engine/transmission :shock: Anyway, I intend to share the info I gather so that all will benefit without having to spend money on a similar system :mrgreen:

To the best of my knowledge only Ian Ashton and Tony Charles have gone down this road with the ST205. Ian has sold his engine now and AFAIK there is no data available from either of them :(
