Gauges

Hey all im looking at gettin to small guages for my integra,

At this stage looking at a air/fuel meter and an oil pressure or temp one.

Now im not clued up on all the brands, like will it make a differenece?

eg Autometer vs autogauge? or like will a cheap trademe one be ok?

not wanting to spend top dollar on them, but would like a suitable brand name.

Anyone got any suggestions?
also which places have good deals on them?

thanks

ive always liked autometer over autogage

silver, carbon fibre, c2 series rather then black

but yeah gauges are gauges

once u pick which brand pick either mechanical or electrical ones

Autometer and autogauge have a big difference...

Autoguage are cheap budget brands. Sometimes thier needle doesn't even go down to 0 when everything's off... I know, I had an autoguage tacho before. Flicked it off faster than a ricer putting more stickers on the car.

I just installed a Autometer A/F & Oil Presure gauge (30mm) today on my car (Colbalt Series) i must admit they look pretty good and seem to work well.

But if you want 60mm gauges get Apexi 8)

Do you want them because gauges look cool, or do you want/need them to moniter whats going on with your engine?

I have mechanical autogauge oil temp and water temp and also an autogauge oil pressure - they seem alright so far, no problems with the accuracy or things sticking or anything (yet) lol.

all good bro..!!

that looks primo, haven't seen them at night myself actually
but people said that its the best so far
something different from the normal lite up faces

since you've installed one yourself, maybe you can write something like "how to install indiglo gauges", hehehe....

i love seeing another happy customer...

cheers
ciacia
