All these aux gauges just look too "boyracer" to me.

FYI a Stack dash, my preferred option. also comes in black btw.

The above discounts give a 20% saving


If we get enough interest we will sort out another group buy.


hope this helps

Isn't it about time that the suppliers of parts stopped ripping the Scooby Public off
Any Scooby owner will find equivalent parts cheaper on the internet if they are prepared to look for them, weather it be a gauge ,turbo or intercooler.

If suppliers sold products at realistic prices all the time they may get more loyalty and more repeat business, surely a small profit on a regular basis is preferable to a big profit on a one off sale

This post is not directed at any particular supplier, however I have highlighted a particular companies willingness to offer 20% discount's where they are selling a product and will still be making a profit, perhaps if the normal price was as stated every Scooby owner would have Defi's fitted.

IMO get your Defi's from Apexi, Blitz, HKS, Nismo, Greddy and other JDM Parts direct from Japan - Nengun Performance, much cheaper than what's available in the UK(rip off Britain strikes again)

Where there is a need, there will always be greed.
