I think he posted instructions to building your own, and it isnt that hard. i think jumptronix.com has similar ones though. www.TeamKLR.com 1997 Silver RS 12.3@118mph,20psi, race gas(drag radials) Wiseco 10.5 Pistons Eagle Rods T3/T4 Turbo Custom FMIC Greddy Exhaust 440's

Yeah, Roadrace sells the jumptronix gauge for $80 I think. It's a little more pricey than Corbins, but what do you expect. It looks exactly the same and is what I run in my car....

I posted a little while back that I was making them and no one ordered, so I stopped, I make about 3-4 for various cars and thats it, no one cared , no one wanted one.
But it soooo simple to make, cost me like 25 bucks for all the parts and like 30 minutes of soldering,etc.. I even designed a circuit board and payed like 400 bucks to get them made and no one wanted them, and if I got many orders for them it would only cost like 35 bucks or so plus shipping, but no one ordered so I gave up, but if you guys can get a group buy together like 50 pieces or so I can start again, but atleast 50 orders are needed and I can get pricing for that if there is interest, but I doubt it...
I think that gadgetseller.com or something also makes them in various colors etc.. its the same digital guage and everything.

>Damn dude! How did you get the parts so cheap? Did you find >new sources? I was buying parts for nearly double that. > I got loads of contacts in the electronic industry, Im a telecommunications product designer I just tell them Im looking for 1000's of them (they had no idea what it was for, I just told them its for my companies new product and they give me the 1000 piece price but I only order a couple to prototype, heheheh . I was getting the meters for 17 bucks, plastic cases for 3 bucks and the wire/resistors/pcb/heatsink/connectors etc.. for the other 5 bucks Ive got a corporate account at newark and digikey

Thats cool. I like the corbin/gagetseller/jumptronix stuff because it is small and well-lighted. I really wish they would have sold better. But in the end, an a/f gauge is still just a voltmeter, and I sell out and use a crappy $9 voltmeter when I'm tuning. It's not sexy, its big, and I have yet to get laid for having it velcroed to my dash I've heard you're virtually guaranteed to get chicks with Corbin's gauge.
Anyways I think the only way to compete with that is to sell a lot of units for even cheaper- as Apexi has. Their voltmeter is basically free if you consider the cost of a normal turbotimer. The SAFC Blue-Wire mod is another free digital AF gauge.
