Hey all,
Just looking at getting a boost gauge and a water temp gauge when I get my rex. What makes would people recommend.
Was looking at Defi and Blitz originally but they\'re so damned expensive. Is there anything else I can look at that\'s going to be good and possibly cheaper.
Cheers :)
Paul.
I would say Autometer Pro Comp, as I have one and it works and easy to set up :)
Edit: About 15quid second hand
Autometer is good and cheap.
A company called DC Dezigns sell them cheaper than most.
We\'ve sold a few of these.

Get on to ebay, and just type in RX7. when I was on there last night there was a set of 3 HKS guages, 1 water temp, 1 oil temp & 1 boost guage going at a reasonable price.

Yeah I noticed them but they\'re a totally non-standard diameter :( Not 52mm or 60mm.
I\'ll have a look around Summit Racing for Autometer gauges, always been quite good there.
Cheers :)
Omori are quite good, summit racing have good fast shipping I just got a set of VDO from them for another car
QuoteOmori are quite good
:yes Think they are my favourite, but are mucho dollars. You could try demontweeks they sell a range called smiths. I nearly bought one, black or white faces and reackon they would suit the dash of an FD well. Picture is of the boost gauge, and it cost £35.70(exc VAT) :Thumbs-up
try //www.greengauges.co.uk or .com
If your looking at the Autometer guages, get on to Ebay.com and have a look there!! the Autometer guages are being sold for $48 each instead of £48 - £55 :spank !!!
Yes I know people will say you\'ll have to pay import duties and all that :Talking1 , but if you ask them to tag the package as a gift item :Giggle you pay £00:00 import duties, and don\'t let anyone tell you otherwise!!!! I just imported an uprated Exedy clutch kit from the states for £210 deliverd with no duties as it was marked as a gift :Nono! :yes :Thumbs-up , and it arrived in a week of paying :rollin !!!

eBay is great :) I\'m going for Defi now as I found one of the two I want on ebay cheap (well for Defi), just need boost and the control unit now :)

there\'s the water one, boost is obviously same style. the boost gauge will need a new vacuum hose, the old one was a bit tatty.
the paint around the outer face has a couple of marks but could be touched up. I also have a 3 slot din holder that fits them.
cheers anyways, ended up with the defi job...and skint to boot ;)
oh well never mind. i\'ll just have to have the most highly modified garage in town then.
currently has 275 hp, full suspension etc etc!
I must get off my arse and get this stuff sold.

Looks good!! Where\'d you get the pod from?
Got the pod from Temple laugherene motorsport in worcester..cant find the recipt though so not 100% but i think it was about £80..To be honest it does look good but im forever hitting my hand on the lower gauge when parking etc..
