I have some lamco's which will be up for sale soon. Super rare, and professionally refurbed with matching green backlights. Also been done so that the bulbs in them can be changed to any colour. Have boost (1.5), oil temp and oil pressure. Also have spare boost gauge, spare oil temp and a volt gauge. All for sale with sensors and sensors. Pod also with them. Looking for £280. Pm me if you want pics before i advertise them.

Had a EGT and AFR gauge made by them.
Were very accurate, and relatively easy to fit.
Only sold them (and my 3 Omori gauges) to fund the purchase of a Stack Road dash and Wideband, as the Omori's had no warning function, and were not in my direct line of sight.
Because of that I did not actually notice the oil pressure had gone completely until there was some very hard knocking noises coming from under the bonnet, LOL.
Most guages have a alarm feature nowadays, but that is fixed at a definable value, which can give a false sense of security (i.e. put the alarm at 4 bar, and it will sound at anything lower then that, even if you are driving around town at 1500rpm, put it at 2 bar and when you are losing oil at the top of the rev range the alarm will only sound with 2 bar left)
I am still waiting on a company that can make a oil pressure gauge with an intelligent warning system.(So one can "learn" the gauge so it knows what oil pressure is normal at all RPM's throught the range, and only gives an alarm when it deviates a certain amount.
