Has anyone got a few pictures of the Defi gauges in situ (i.e. Centre pod on MY99 / 00) so we can decide if we want 52 or 60 MM gauges. A couple of each would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Phill C

Can someone who already has these gauges post some pics of them in their cars. It would be good to see what the 52mm and 60mm one's are actually like in the car.

I've a gut feeling the 60mm one's might look too big.

Ozzy,

Go to www.nitosport.co.uk they have a pic of the 60mm's installed in their carbon pod, the 60's are big

babber

Ozzy,

That's what I was looking for a picture of the 52mm and the 60mm gauges inside the car, so I can decide what type I want.

Cheers Phill C

Ok found these:

Courtesy of Chiarks site:



I believe 52mm Defi's if I am not mistaken.

From a post from SManning in the Members Gallery:



Again 52mm Defi's, sorry to steal your pic - Bugger now I don't think these are Defi's I could be mistaken could be HKS?!

Finally found this, they are 60mm Greddy gauges in a Defi pod (From a US Site) in a New Age but gives a size compaison.

Go to Nito's new site, they have pics of their carbon hood with 60's in there and a pic of a GGR pod with 52mm Defis:

Hmm, doesn't seem like much in it does? What do ya think Phill?

Thanks for posting the pics TBMeech

Stefan

TBMeech

Stefan,



Have a look at the Nito link, believe me they are a bit bigger in real life, don't think the photo's i posted do them justice!

ozzy

Yeah, I've just had a look.

They are much bigger looking in those shots. I think it's the 52mm ones for me.

Thanks again,
Stefan

SCOSaltire

hmmmm

hard to choose eh

ozzy

Well, I might get an EGT gauge later on, so would want to move the boost onto the steering column (like Nito's car). Think the 60mm would be as big as the steering wheel

Stefan

TBMeech

If you use the Steering column mounts as per Nito's car they recommend 52mm's otherwise they obscure part of the clocks if you go for the 60's

SCOSaltire

functionally is there any difference?
if not - 52mm is favourite

TBMeech

Wouldn't have thought so, I've got a couple of friends one with 60mm's and one with 52's installed, they all do the same thing, just size preference.

SCOSaltire

ill be going for 60mm i think - i like the way they hide under the curves..

SCOSaltire

sorry for the pics I have 'stolen' to make this comparison.

the carbon hood is from nitosport.
the other image was matts install from newagemotorsport.
AFAIK

i hope it helps
edited to say:
left pic is 60mm, right pic is 52mm

Phil,

Some more photos for you.

These are the 60mm dials.

Matt Churchill

Just to give you yet another pic, here are my 52mm's

ozzy

Looking at SimonJ's pics, the 60's do look a tad on the large side.

Think I'll stick with Matt's 52mm one's.

Matt, any chance of a wider-angled shot of your whole dash?

Stefan

Matt Churchill

Ozzy,

Am at work at the mo', will take a wider pic l8er (memory permitting!) and post some time tonight.

Matt

ozzy

Matt,

If I catch you lurking on Scoobynet later, I'll remind you

Cheers,
Stefan

Matt Churchill

Just for you Stefan, here you are. Hope this helps......






Matt
PS Sorry about the reflections

Thanks all for the lovely picture, I'm rushing off to get mine sorted out now.

Are they backlight so that you can see them at night? Does the plastic of the pod quite closely match that of the dash in terms of colour, quality, texture, etc?

babber

I was hoping they look the same as the MY00 dash ??

Cheers Phill C

Matt Churchill

Phil, backlight is very close to that of the original dash. Maybe tomorrow I'll take a pic in the dark for you so you can see (assuming I can get it to come out).

Sb my pod isn't far off match wise, hasn't really got the same texture, but who cares - they look so good

Matt

ozzy

Matt, you're a star m8.

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, but I've just got back home.

The dials look feckin awesome. I now know exactly what to get.

Many thanks,
Stefan

They've got some night shots on the Nitrosport site.

babber

Matt,

Thanks for that mate
