Which Gauges are best?
Since my engine blew up a few weeks ago i think after the rebuild i better get some gauges in there so i know whats goin on, im just wondering what are the best ones? and are defi's really worth all that extra money, in my opinion they look the best but function over fashion is what i always say .
cheers.

Defis look and work well, but you do pay for them. Remembner you need a control unit too. I have five, and have paid about £600 for them in all including the control box, got a deal on the first three. Fitted 'em all myself, no probs.
£1200 to fit is too much, even including supply, for three gauges. TBH, if you have some basic knowledge, you can DIY in a day.
Prosport are OK too, but their connectors are suspect and need careful handling.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seemed to be the prob, it was cured by pushing connectors more firmly home.
IIRC, one even had to be GLUED in place on the rear of the gauge............

My dash didn't come apart at all. I DID lift the passenger side carpet at the front a little, to help me get wires through, mine came through there, no A/C, you see
Ialso taped the ends of all wires together to protect the connectors, and taped THAT lot to the end of a starightened wire coathanger, which pushed through dead easy, the wires then all following, unharmed.
The only bit of dash I removed was the top cubbyhole, in order to fit a 3-gauge pod.
