Smile Oh how I love new parts :)

Compliments of my homies and compadres at Gotham Racing



all 60mm, black face, peak/hold and warning. I was sick of boost in bar so went with psi, and had been wanting egt and fuel pressure for a while now. Going to put all three in the center speaker pod.....I was sick of whacking my hands on my a-pillar gauges when making tight turns at the road course, plus wanted better visibility.

Nice, I love those gauges, great choice, how much did you pay for them?

Hey Rich you should consider going with my style in the CD player area if you dont have the double deck, easy to see them and looks pretty factory...

Goodfellas, are those the Defi BF guages with the Link II?

Perhaps I'm confused, but I thought the 52 mm are D and the 60 are BF. I thought the BF series only came in bar.

Does your guages have amber backlighting?

green backlighting. These are the Link gauges. BF are newer, D are older. I didnt get the BF specifically b/c the boost doesnt come in psi.

Hi John,

thanks for the suggestion, but I want the gauges where they are readily visible. I barely have to take my eyes away from the road with them placed in the center speaker position. I still can't believe you drive your FD in the city, btw

BFs dont have boost in psi

I love building and porting, but hate electrical work. Installation may take awhile.....

That is exactly what i want to switch to on my car, I have Greddy gauges mounted in the a-pillar and get tired of slapping the gauges on tight corners.

Those gauges look very nice, i cant wait for pic's once those are installed!

Do 60 mm gauges even fit where your gauges are?

The ones I have right now on there are 52mm gauges + 2.4 cm overall for Defi's will definitely have enough room to fit, tight but doable...

I had the box sitting on it's side for a while, and the needle moved a bit. Once it is hooked in and receives power, it will recalibrate.

For anyone interested, I got the gauge pod from Frank at http://hometown.aol.com/flyrx7/Rx7-Gauge-Pod.html

He is a great guy and I recommend doing business with him
