Cheers guys
Have you found a pod that fits the hatch to hold the gauges
I like the ati centre one but its only lhd but ive spoke to my mate who says he might beable to make me one from fibreglass as rhd but im going to order my gauges so i know ive got them
My defi gauges and controller were brilliant. Looked great in a centre pod. I've heard issues with accuracy with cheap gauges. Last thing you need is an incorrect oil pressure reading while blasting round the track
If it's for bling, fair enough.
If you want to monitor what your engine is actually doing, buy decent.
And DO read up on here where the senders go...we don't want to be reading about problems with sandwich plates next month, LOL
Those problems were probably mine I've Sti gnome gauges were in a sandwich plate headers have cooked both sensors costing close to £180 to replace and another £30 for relocation bits plus hassle of actually relocating them to where they should have been placed.
I have my gages under the stereo, I also have Pro-Sport and find them to be very good quality for the price, they also match the rest of the dials in the car
say you have a gauge that NORMALLY reads 5 bar oil pressure at 5000 rpm. Does it really matter if the actual pressure is 5.5 or 4.5? No, but if it suddenly started showing 3 bar, you should be worried.
same goes for temp, if it normally reads 90 degrees, but it reads 120 on track, it is time for an oil cooler or a pit stop.
i.e. it is the difference to normal readings that is important, not the absolute value.
I had defi gauges in my imported evo, and they were nice, but would I pay my own money to fit some over e.g. pro sport? Absolutely no way.

Mmight sound daft this but can these not break here with the heat from the heaters etc
I have an array of colours on my Defis and its how I got the car. I like them and wouldn't have picked the colours if I had a choice but I do like them and think the constant flickering of digital gauges is more annoying than a needle moving a tiny bit from time to time
Not sure if they all do it but with Defi, the oil pressure gauge will always buzz until the engine is running as it thinks oil pressure is too low if ignition is on but engine not turning over. Really quite annoying if your sitting in the car not moving anywhere
