STI? Gauges from Japan
I've seen these on www.japanparts.com. Has anyone got them and what do they think of them. Worth the money?

Sorry I havn't got them, but I've seen the Defi version in the same pod and they look mint!!. How much are they ££ sterling to your door, and are they carbon fibre ??? ( I like the STI motif)

They are Defi gauges but just branded STi - should operate just like the original Defis that everybody knows and loves... 
Jon17 - have a look at the link for the price Genome Triple Meter
Dunno about carriage costs and whether customs would clobber you for the VAT

Bob Rawle has these fitted to his STi 9.
They look great but are exactly the same as the Defi's apart from the STi badge.
I ended up with Defi BF's as when the ignition is off the dash and gauges are now both black.

The Gauges indeed are Defi's (Defi link Meter , not Defi Link BF ) as is the Pod (we are talking about the new STI kit available). I was speaking to a Techie in a Scoob Garage in Singapore yesterday,and he pointed out the new gauge packs available, quoting "They're Just Defi's man, with an STI logo" ------less the controller, so no trickery
I am sure the original Defi's will be much cheaper, but theres them that want a Label !!!!

I’ve probably got this wrong because I don’t know anything about defi gauges, but if this pod on japanparts is the equivalent of all the standard defi stuff below is it not good value? Even after you add vat and carriage. + it will match the normal dials etc.

You don't need to include the sensor prices - if you buy a gauge, the respective sensor is included.
The prices you've found are for seperate sensors, e.g. if you bought the defi-link display rather than gauges as it uses a control unit and you add in whatever sensors you want...
Plus you can get cheaper prices than those at Scoobymania

It looks like they are made for Subaru in Japan because they appear in this official catalogue.

Hi,
I have just bought a set of these for my 55 plate STi type uk. I have managed to fit everything except for locating the power socket for the control unit. Any ideas where under the steering column the plug is? I have tried reading the instructions but they are in japanese.

i have these gauges.
as said they are Defi's just branded as STI Genome.
work in same way as defi's etc, just STI branded.
My full set cost me £700, which was a bargain at the time, then i added the Genome boost gauge too for £100 2nd hand.
Love them!!
