good luck finding them in 100% working order.

I've seen quite a few either sensor dead or guage dead. Good product but they are ages old.

Try the greddy above or the Defi BF orange/amber.

Hard to come across man. Found my old school HKS boost gauge on ebay. Really the only place I see them and they are ALWAYS overpriced.

Still though, they look sweet and match perfectly!!

I was seriously wondering if anyone else saw these gauges. Is anybody running them? Sounds good from their website, but if they work as "GOOD" as the few autometers I've had bad luck with, I wouldn't be interested.

i found some from Yahoo Japan.
this place in Signal Hill, CA called www.wheelchoice.com can get you some from japan if you wish.
just go to Yahoo Japan Auction if you want some stuff from there.


two of the same boost gauge
http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...tion/100317307
http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...tion/r35783078

then there's this smaller one
http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...tion/u10712810

oil pressure gauge (looks like it's missing some connections)
http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...ction/99948245

temperature gauge
http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...tion/k44163447

im not sure what the sizes these are though.

i think the bids are done, but you can always search Yahoo Japan Auction again.
hope this helps.

I've been eyeing them up. There was a thread awhile back about someone buying and installing them. Not sure of the outcome.

Thanks a bunch. Guess I haven't checked the rx-7 store in a while.

Those gauges are cheap compared to the Defi BF Ambers that I was gonna buy. It's like 3 for the price of one.

Sorry for raising the dead...

I think the letters/numbers on the new greddy gauges are only orange when they light up. Unlike the old school hks that were orange all the time, and backlit when you turned the lights on....i think. I could be wrong though.

But you can always wire it to make the backlighting on all the time with switched 12v and not with the lights...
