mctwistuk Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Definitely would recommend defis. Diesel hands fitted mine and it looked fairly straightforward Chris Link to comment
green_goblin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I would go with defi's if i was you.....i have them and they are brilliant!! Defi BF with controller etc, costly but well worth it!! Jase Link to comment
Richie Cross Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) If, like me, you can't justify spending that much on the Defis, I got 3 Prosport gauges through a groupbuy on Scoobynet for £97.67 delivered. Even without the discount, they're only £115. They still do the swipe on start up etc. Pod from Scoobyworld. Edited November 16, 2009 by Richie Cross Link to comment
corsa Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 How much are defis? Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 try www.nengum.com with the yen being so strong they are quie expensive these days. Link to comment
green_goblin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 your looking at £100 for the controller then like £200 odds for each gauge plus sensor!! Link to comment
corsa Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Bloody hell i could buy Playsatans classic for that and have enough change to make Johnnny R6 a decent offer on his!!!! All joking aside, need to get along to another meet to have a look at some "examples" Any volunteers for me to have a look at thiers? davie Link to comment

colin_ross Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 You can have a look at mine if you want. Or just bring £50 and take the whole car away. Btw, you should be asking what make and what gauges too. Link to comment
wulsey Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) I had these Auto gauage ones in my old white bugeye. OFF By day(white) By night(green but they do red also.) Edited November 16, 2009 by wulsey Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I live in paisley and work in glasgow so can meet up if you want to see defis Link to comment
ciaranrb5 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Here is a not very good pic of my defis. Cost about £520 including the carbon pod on a group buy on scabbynet. Superb bit of kit. Even my granny thought they were cool. Link to comment
RS Grant Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Picture of my old Defi Gauges in a Hawkeye STi... Cheers, Grant Link to comment
thewelsho Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) I have DEFIs Drop by any time. You could pick up the Pod, gauges, controller and sandwhich plate for around £400 - 500 second hand. I had cheaper guages fitted before the DEFIs and to be honest, they didn't look anywhere near as impressive. They were smaller and when the sunlight hit them, it was impossible to read them. Having said that, going by the readings on my DEFIs, the cheaper guages were spot on. craigmcD fitted them for me Edited November 17, 2009 by TheWelsho Link to comment

badbaz Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Boost, oil pressure and temp seem to be the common ones Kenny. Don't really know tbh, just want to try to prevent things going pear shaped! Link to comment

Well my friend i have been asking about all over the place ,your car could possibly be filled with them .I am going with an afr/oil temp and oil pressure And going with an apexi avc-r for boost control oh and a knock-link.

badbaz Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Ordered a knock link today buddy. Need to sort out the gauges though. I don't need a boost controller at the level I'm going for, will just need to see. Where you getting yours from, are they brand new? Link to comment

Knocklink i have is second hand .Tha afr i am looking at is by plx they do a multi function display gauge wich will show the afr,oil temp and oil pressure .In the process of asking a few suppliers .The apexi , i have been told that they are no longer in bussines but can get one without waranty,this is from GB-Enterprises,have also asked AWD what they have /can get Kenny Link to comment
kennyuk300 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Meant to say that you would get a big benefit from the boost controller from what i have been told. Kenny Link to comment
