    Default Gauge Help

    Can anyone recommend a gauge that is good quality and accurate, without the Defi price.

    I'm after a full set of gauges for my drifter but don't want to spend 2 grand on Defi's.
    Any help?

    Autometer Gauges are pretty good, they have been around for years unlike a lot of companies now making cheaper gauges like Supercheap "calibre" and autobarns "drift" brand.

    You can get 52mm gauges in electronic senders for roughly $120 each (sometimes less on sale or 20% storewide on promotion @ Autobarn)

    I have had water temp, oil temp, oil pressure and boost/vac all in metric temperatures for a few years now and never had any problems.

    Are Autometer really that good?

    I always thought they were cheap for a reason... I don't know, I've always been steered away from them.

    they are a good gauge, i think their more used in the drag/street compact scene.
    oh the Greddy 60mm black face gauges would be my choice, i actually forgot about them. just looking now on yahoo jp

    I'll take your word for it on the Autometer gauges.....
    Greddy would be close to Defi prices wouldn't they?
