GAUGES - which?
Hi,
im buying gauges for oil temperature and oil pressure. Can anyone advise me which to get. I need precision, normal price and adequate styling (plain black (VDO-siemens like). So im looking for Siemens-VDO gauges, but cant quite find a shop nearby. What are your opinions on theese? Also found theese (EQUUS gauges): http://www.iequus.com/products.php?category_id=100 Does anybody know what they are like? Or perhaps if you have any other recomendations.. |

Equus are cheap crap, slightly less so are the simpler VDO offerings.. but I'm sure both will do fine, since you not driving a spaceship or something.
Most of the more expensive gauges stand out like a turd in a punchbowl on an ae86 dash, and I like the stock look personally. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |

Demon Tweeks are quite good for almost everything, they have guages in lots of styles and mounting pods, etc.
Look in te Motorsport Section. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/ ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - GAUGES - which?]](http://www.freewebs.com/ae86truenoproject/signature%20posibly2.png "AEU86 AE86 - GAUGES - which?")

No contest: fire up ebay and find yourself a set oil/pressure/temp gauges from an early 911. Simply the most beautifull gauges out there. Senders will be more expensive (maybe if you need to get them through porsche, but the guages themselves are fairly cheap 2nd hand.

Yes true, i've seen a couple of those on ebay. Beautiful items (look similar to Siemens VdO ones). But the problem as you said is that none of thos include senders.. i'll see..

They are VDO ones, but the quality ones. So thats explains the resemblence.

Or get original VDO's
If you like VDO you can also check for Steward Warner gauges. Autometer are not crap. p.s Yes I back from US but I m leaving again. Pics and comments on Wednesday. danielvanderwoude Wrote:looks like the nmwisima joke saved you in the end http://www.jdmbits.com
