Stri & prosport same manufacturer ?

I read another post stating Stri are same guage as prosport & made in Taiwan.
Not good.

Can anyone that has Stri see where they are made, or post a pic of back of gauge ?

The Stri websites need more info.
Xline have factory set warnings ? Do they blink at preset temps ?
How do you set the alarm or recall on higher end line ?


To bad they changed bezel colors between lines.
I was hoping to get 1 peek/hold boost & other 3 gauges from the Xline. But the rings wouldnt match.

Sorry for not updating but I forgot about this thread... I keep forgetting to subscribe to my own threads I bought the more expensive STRI gauge. It's an oil temperature gauge.

Their electric gauges include sensors.

I have no idea if STRI are the same as ProSport but I can say that the "high end" STRI gauges have very nice sensors and plugs compared to the top of the line ProSport sensors. Everything looked and felt top notch on my STRI gauge and were on par with my Defi gauge.

My STRI gauge recently started acting up. I think it may be the sensor because the readings kinda bounce while the oil is cold and once its near normal operating temp, the reading is solid. I need to contact STRI to see what the deal is but otherwise I'm happy with it.

Just wondering how your STRI gauges are doing. I'm looking at adding some gauges and have been looking at the STRI's.

Looking to do:
Innovate LC-1 (red)
STRI Boost
STRI Oil temp

I kinda forgot to contact STRI about my oil temp gauge but it's still working exactly like in my last post. The readings bounce a bit when my oil is cold but once Im up to operating temps, the readings are solid. Besides that, the gauge is good and am happy with it. I like the warning feature it has built in. It's alerted me of high oil temps at the track a few times. It would have been nice if the gauge had an audible alarm to warn about high temps rather than just the whole face flashing. Sometimes it's just so bright out on the track that its hard to tell when its flashing.

Thanks for update. I think I'm going to get them as well.

How did you mount yours? a-pillar, center speaker pod, radio din slot?

Where did you put your oil temp sensor?

thanks!

No problem. The gauge is mounted above my radio and the sensor is at the oil filter pedestal.
