58828, Different gauges
Posted by SolarYellowEclipse, Oct-01-03 11:13 PM
I happened across this site that has all digital gauges and thought some of you might be interested. It's not my style, but someone might like em.

This is what they look like:

wow those're pretty slick...

i wish they'd make combination gauges with like the regular needle thing and a digital display in the back. that'd be pretty neat.

That would be kind of cool, but I can't imagine dropping like 500-600 bucks on new gauges...

they're not $500-600... that's only the really high tech ones that have like MPH, RPM, odometer/trip, turn signals, high beam, low oil, and check engine all in one gauge. even for that price those one's are pretty nice though. it's like everything in your entire gauge cluster in one.

but they've also got your typical boost/egt/pressure gauges in digital for typical prices. kinda neat if you wanna know the exact values instead of just estimating where the needle is. too bad it looks like they don't offer an A/F gauge currently... that would be very useful. much more useful than the blinky lights. right now the only place i've seen that has a nice digital A/F gauge is www.gadgetseller.com but it's a rectangular LCD screen... you can mod it fit in a pillar (they have pics of it on their site) but it'd me much easier if someone just made a digital gauge that would fit in a pod...

those guages are not worth it. i have 2 in my car and they are inaccurate. its a combination between the sending unit and the guage itself. they are slow to respond, jump around and just seem to be generally inaccurate

Yeah, I think that they're all pretty crappy in general but better than none. The wideband O2 setup is the way to go but it's a fortune and the WB O2 sensors don't last nearly as long.
