Oh, lights and buzzing noises... I was thinking more along the line on how accurate and reliable they are.


I think autometer makes a few different levels of gauges. the liquid filled ones are top notch!

I have the BLITZ boost and the oil pressure guage, The boost isn't the greatest because it reads in bars but none the less they do the job right. I have the BL (black light series) that are green and have the black light on it, they're great!

im running 3 autometers, only 1 is functioning at this time i will hook up the pyrometer (egt) and oil presure gauge at a later date. i have the ultra lite series that is silver. they seem to look fine. im not all about flashy gauges, and had i the tools and patience, i wouldnt have even gone with an apillar setup.

i think greddy and apexi are nice if you want the playback, i found these useful when checking boost and egt peaks when we were dyno tuning a car, because one had to watch the wideband and one had to watch the tach.

if i had an endless amount of money i would go with a DEFI gauge setup. the ultimate in electronic features (and ultimately the highest priced setups).

john, what are you going to run on the 240? i know for basic sr swaps you only really need psi, oil pres, and egt is helpful but you can get by with the first 2.

Now that's not fair. I purchased my Hella driving lights at a local autoparts store(total impulse buy, I was there buying oil) as I realized those are the lights that fit into the WRX OE fog light locations. I thought the quality was of the lights was pretty darn good. The price was much cheaper than I've ever seen them online. I do know what you're saying though, but there are exceptions.
