I need some gauges; oil temp, oil pressure, water temp and tacho with shift light, however must avoid ricer look at all cost.
im thinking speco. any other opinions?
cheapest place to get speco gauges?
thanks
-
what about a single digital display you can usually get all of that on them as my mate has an apexi 1 in his r34 which shows all
-
yeah that sounds like the go. how much do those fuckers cost though? i cant spend too much cause otherwise my gauges will be worth more than the rest of my car.
-
there was a pic in the forums of a speco all in one gage thek, maybe have a look in the gallery. I believe it was sleeper cortys car
-
i think around $200 - $1500 depends on model and where u get it

hahaha its a word filter that anytime someone says t h e k it replaces it with **dreamer that wishes he had a turbo cortina **
-

now yeah they look good means no ricer gauges anywhere BUT
would you trust a pos 4 in 1 gauge on a $4000 plus engine/turbo/gearbox setup

took me a few minutes to work it out but thats funny. blond moment.
thek
t h e k
just checking LOL
spend heaps on guages cos u cant put a value on accuracy. i can sell u a tacho which is rated as being one of the best - only lags by about 2500rpm and i've only ever seen the shift light come on mid-burnout but hey they're cheap.

ok who was the wise guy LOL

yeah lucky i had your infinite wisdom to set me straight. :shock: and who does'nt wish they had a turbo cortina????
speco indash mount could be good. but i really cbf'd with that shit again the last time putting in even the stock tacho was a fucking nightmare.

Quick reply test

Get some autometer gauges. You dont want to be risking your engine with some chepo gauges do you. And like you said u dont want to turn it into a ricer so stay away from apexi.
-
ended up getting the speco 4 in 1. looks pretty shit but for the price nothing was even close.
-
