Default Dash wart removal

Has anyone done this or know of any issues associated with removal of the sport chrono. Exploring an insert that covers the dash hole once its removed.

Thanks in advance,

There is a thread on 6 Speed where a person (Cattman) replaced his clock with a new gauge that was programmable to show you a number of different types of info.

You can remove the wart by pulling it out or using a soft lever (don't use a screwdriver) to pry it out. You can completely unplug the sport chrono clock without consequences.

You could put a hollowed out Buddha over wart and rub belly for good luck or put hula girl over it but you have to cut the legs off. I would leave it. Mike

i use mine all the time - as a stop watch during sessions on track. makes it easy to keep track of how much time is remaining in your session. do i really NEED it - no. but since it is there i use it.
