What Instruments to buy?

mr2magic · 09-25-2008, 03:52 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for inexpensive but still relatively good quality electrical gauges. So far I've been mega impressed by Défi, problem is they're farking expensive

So now I've thought about Prosport or maybe something similar....

Any thoughts comments hints or tips would be more than welcome. Basically I need to fill my upcoming pure sex pod with the appropriate instruments

Oh and amber would be the best color option

Tell me why! Are they good quality? Do you use them?

I like my STRI guages, they are smoked just like defi, look just like them, and are accurate, let me find a link on the forum for them. Also some say that it's hard to see them in daylight when the sun is behind you, but I have no problem reading them with sunlight in any direction. Let me find a link for you, I bought mine from Danny (GreddySetGo).

I've used autometer for about 14 years now. They were in all my muscle cars except for my '67 Firebird which I was trying to keep all stock. They are accurate and if you can get some decent liquid filled ones the cool factor is way up there. Plus they have several different styles to choose from. I'm using an autometer boost gauge in my MR2.
