Default Autogauge group Buy

Would anybody be interested in a group buy on this series of guages by Autogauge (boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp and volt meter):-

Smoked 52mm series:-
http://www.autogauge.com.tw/web/prod...tegorysubid=27

EL 52mm series:-
http://www.autogauge.com.tw/web/prod...ategorysubid=4

Initially orders are for sets of 3 as this is my basis to agree a price, the price per set of 3 guages including p&p will be £89

These gauges will be imported from abroad and we will have 2 months in which to return them if faulty (the units are factory tested).
Please note that import duty will try to be avoided but we may end up being liable for it, which would therefore have to be paid on collection.

If there is enough interest i will try and negotiate a discount on pods aswell.

Reply to the thread and add your name, which series of gauge you want, which gauges and what pod (if any) you require)

Am looking at some of these at the moment, why don't you go through the UK Importer to save the warrenty / tax hastles with importing yourself??

is that £85.00 for a set? or £85.00 each?

Slightly lost plot.

There are ways round import tax, though in this case i'd probabily not recommend it.

Sorry mate, but do you get wiring and senders for these too ? So all else you need is a pod ?

That website is doing my brain in with its flashing gauges all over the place

The boost gauge is mechanical and you get the pipe, the temp and pressure gauges are electrical and you get the senders. Once i know we have enough interest i will post up the full specs and deal

Could well be interested at that price Austen, especially after how well your mudflap GB went.

One question though, the web page say that they are 2" in diameter which is 51mm. Never heard of any pods in that size. Can they supply or is there blanking plates to make them fit 56mm ones?

52mm is the standard size, so these should fit most pods. I'm going for the standard pod from subaru which costs £70, but will try and get a discount if there are enough people

I am looking into this, but have been quoted approx £50 per gauge, plus there aren't any of these in the country at the moment as they are so new.

I'd be interested in this. Problem is I have an early wrx (95) so couldn't use the nice neat centre pod. Not so sure about the a-pillar pods.

Ok, i've been promised that we will have 2 months to return the goods if faulty, all we have to do is pay for the postage if returned. I will update the first post.

Newbie here, looking for something to fill the gap under a single DIN Head Unit in an MY04. Where can I get a 3 gauge blanking plate to fit (single DIN, 3X52mm holes)?

Never heard of Autogauge - are they any good? I mean are they accurate (had an autometer boost gauge before that was always a couple psi off) because I'll be in for a set if they're OK.
Cheers

I was thinking of using a blanking plate in the spare single din slot, but just thought that it wasn't visible enough.

Not sure how accurate they are, the prices in the UK are around the same as the autometer ones, so i would expect them to be of the same standard.

There has been a fair bit of interest in these so i will start a list going, please add yourself and i will update the first post. The GB may or may not include the pod as i haven't spoke to anyone about them yet. Has anyone got any preferences, ideas or suppliers they think i should speak to?? I would like the newage pod myself, but not sure if i will get a discount on these.
