ste91 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Performance-Gauge-52...%3A1|240%3A1318Thinking of buying one, but does the cheap price reflect on the cheap quality? Or is AutoGauge ok? Quote
Pav Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I have a large AutoGauge Tacho with shift light and its mint. Very accurate and the adjustable shift light is brilliant!I dont see much point in buying one thats smaller than your stock rev gauge if you have one. If not, then itll do a good job especially for £15 odd. Quote
ste91 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Well I don't have one and don't fancy a big one that stands out like a sore thumb, so this size is just right.Aslong as the quality is ok and it's accurate enough and works properly then that's great, I'll probably order one tommorow.

lisurngt Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Performance-Gauge-52...%3A1|240%3A1318Thinking of buying one, but does the cheap price reflect on the cheap quality? Or is AutoGauge ok?in my opinion i dont think there that good. I've got an autogauge boost gauge and well frankly its a piece ov shit... not very acurate. reads nothing like the DBC. but thats only my opinion. let me no what u do?? Quote
garbla900 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 ive got boost oil temp and oil pressure in auto gauge and tbh the boost gauge does lie but ive found the rest of there stuff to be fairly good Quote
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Search for Autometer gauges, much better quality than Autogauge Quote
lisurngt Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Search for Autometer gauges, much better quality than Autogaugethem AEM gauges r they worth the cash??? awfully dear like but they look the dogs balls like.bit ov a random question as i cant afford to be buyin fancy gauges at the minute but thot id ask anyway..

Asad Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Get the best your money can buy the autometer ones look good, you can always rip it out n use it on your new N/A personally i`d get the full clocks and add guages for other things like oil,water etc.... Quote
Idrees Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 My brothers car came with one of those in a pod pillar. It never really gets looked at, well not while I'm driving! Its pretty accurate though and apparently more accurate than the OEM ones. Quote
ste91 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 My brothers car came with one of those in a pod pillar. It never really gets looked at, well not while I'm driving! Its pretty accurate though and apparently more accurate than the OEM ones.I find that I hardly ever look at the speedo lolBut there have been quite a few times where I've thought "I wonder what rpm I'm at now". Like you said though you hardly look at it - neither would I but it's nice to have it there when you want it.That's why I don't want to spend big money on a top of the range one, and anyway I'm planning on selling this Starlet and buying another one with lower milage in a couple of months anyway, the next Starlet I buy might be an SR or something and have a rev counter...Aslong as it's accurate like you said then that's fine, might go for some fancy gauges in the future but for now the cheap stuff will do just fine aslong as it works.

Idrees Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Yeah why not mate. It lights up Orange I think, and looks pretty tidy lit up. Quote
ste91 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Ordered the gauge earlyer along with a pod thing, now I just have to wait til it arrives and then get it wired up and fitted... but, I'm fucking clueless on how to do it.Once I figure it out though, does anyone want me to make a guide on how to fit a basic rev gauge when I fit it? Could take pics as I'm doing it. Quote
Asad Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 That would be nice mate, craigs got some on the way for his glanza....it would help out alot Quote
ste91 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Right then I need to find out how and where to put the wires. I think there is something like 4 wires?- one for power when the ignition is turned on (most probably red yes?)- one for earth/negative (black probably)- one for the rev signal- and one for the back light when you turn the lights onCan't think of anything else, so assuming that's all the wires there are, where do I put them, and how do I do it? (I am guessing I will have to cut some other wires to put these ones in?). Quote
ste91 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 Gauge pod came today... gauge should be here on monday hopefully.Still clueless on how to wire it up though, can't find anything on it. Quote
Jozinobi Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Search UKSC for 'tacho'A wealth of info there and a few different ways to wire one up.Rev gauge wont bring up much.Joz Quote
ste91 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 Cheers Joz, read a few topics, still not completely sure what to do but I'll figure it out. On another note, look at this amazing rev gauge: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4GdWZEKKXJU Quote
