I both agree and disagree with you. Look at all the real race spec Honda's... Spoon, Realtime Racing ITR, RSX-S, Top Fuel's RSX they ALL have digital readouts...and they are Hondas. But I agree with you on the fact that all you really need is a center-mount large analog tach and a smaller sized analog speedo to the side, a fuel gauge and you're set. But what I was saying was to make this kind of "analog" dash display with aftermarket hihg quality gauges.
Yes most Hondas come with a tach and ofcourse the speedo and fuel, but also tons of lights and shit you don't need. My idea of a clean functional yet really cool dash display would be to make it custom and strictly have aftermarket gauges...I've seen this done before so I'll have to search for pics...for you guys to get the real idea..

Mugen (available through King Motorsports or a few JDM websites like Taka Kaira) has what you're looking for, THA ELuDA.
Also, check Dakota Digital for digital gauges for custom work.
I also agree with fastball in that the tachometer, fuel gauge & speedometer should be analog... unless you want to be able to recall top speed runs, gear shifts and whatnot for "diagnostic purposes."
