Default Best Gauges For Classic That Replace The Top Glove Box

Anyone recommend the best set as in the title? Pics & prices would be great too? Plus best knock link? MY00 classic turbo.

Cheers in advance

Phil.

The best gauges are Defi's. A bit expensive though, for 3 gauges, pod and controller you'll be looking at £800+

Just been looking at those. Do they give good readings?

Oil Temp seems to be spot on
Oil pressure is way out of whack - but have a replacement to fit
Boost is OK (I think)

Good thing it's not to sunny at the moment where I live . Have ordered a set with white background. Hopefully they'll be ok.

Cheers,
Phil.

I have a set of autogauge and they are as bright as the ones pictured above........but on a sunny day they become impossible to see,almost reflect/glare the interior of the car back at you...





Maybe they are different to the ones on ebay....

I guess they must be a bit different as I've not had a problem. Even when the ignition is off I can see them as long as it's not dark. Of course when it's dark and the car is on they light up like a Christmas tree. I think they're too bright at night actually as they can be distracting.

I'm getting a boost, EGT and A/F from ProSport. They're priced very reasonably and they match WRX green lighting. Accurate, too.

Prosport Gauges - High performance gauges, Tachometers, EGT, Boost & and; Digital Gauges.
