Default Defi/ Genome gauges ……. These prices for real !!

Was just looking on the bay at gauges and noticed a set of gauges and wiring etc is 3k + surely that can’t be right ?? If is the case I sold a set of gauges 6 years ago and an entire 400 bhp 53 blob eye for free with it !!!

Let me guess who's selling them! BNP Europe? He's got 2nd hand stuff which is double the price new.

How about a prodrive boot mat for £399 or those perspex headlight protectors for £199. Both bargains.

I’ve noticed the full kits have gone up but they’re not £3k, maybe a grand (which is still bloomin’ expensive!)

Get a Zadatech setup and display on a double DIN stereo, cheaper and discreet.

The Zadatech set up looks nice , there’s a few options brown pants racing had a tablet screen with all of the engine outputs in the screen which looked very nice , im not all techy so no good at how it works but could fit it , if you want expensive gtr r35 car mats around 1300 £ plus , they have carbon fibre inserts 😂

Sorry not techy , I’m not sure , I got the impression it worked on the standard ecu , a lead and a tablet , it did look and sound like a great idea 👍😁

I e seen a few options available through a lead and Apple or android synced head units which look good. I think having something working through a head unit would be better than actual gauges stuck in random places , I did have an iPad with a plug in Wi-Fi obd2 reader which is also good but under heavy 2nd 3rd acceleration the cup looses grip ! It monitors anything the ecu measures and shows on screen.

yesni like that sort of setup. I’m presuming you had to buy separate sensors and senders as I don’t think the ecu measures either oil temp or pressure as standard so couldn’t be sent via a obd lead to head unit ? I could be wrong.

Yes, I bought the oil pressure and temperature sensors from zada as well.
In addition, I was planning to buy their unit that reads CAN bus data from the OBD but due to the chipset supply problems they didn't have any in stock last year when I did the work.

Or option 2 is sell it , and the price they are going for you could literally buy another car 👍😂 , it’s funny how much car tax has gone up ,even on jdm models , it’s nearly the same as my insurance , they say they put it up to pay for better roads , clearly who ever put it up does not actually drive a car 😵‍💫👍 gone up around 10 per cent ☹️

probably inflates the price of stuff 5x what it should be to pay for the storage space to house it all in for years on end, until a mentally challenged lunatic or heavily inebriated individual accidentally presses buy it now on one of his comically optimistic auction listings
