What Gauges Do You Guys Recomend?
I really like Apex gauges cause of the playback feature and the blue color. Although they only come in 60mm. I wanted to get the pod for the dash from Rx7store but they only hold 52mm. I want to stick with the same brand for all my gauges. Eventually I want to get gauges for the A pillar. So now that you know the problem I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or have gauges they recomend. What gauges should I put in first. I figured boost and water temp. My car is stock. Help me out guys.

I personally wouldn't bother with a water temp gauge. If you really want a better water temperature reading, you can modify the stock one.
I would recommend a boost gauge and either a Air/Fuel or EGT gauge.
As for the 60mm guages, you can dremel out the 52mm A-pillar gauge pods to fit 60mm gauges.

I like my Blitz guages, the green matches my dash gauges. I only have the boost and EGT gauge. I
use my PFC for the rest which is also in green.. DAMN thats a lot of green....

I can just take the autometer pod and dremel it out to fit the 60mm. Is their any other companies that make dual or triple pods to fit the 60mm.
How about a company that makes custom ones?

You can dremel out most 52mm gauge pods to fit 60mm gauges but you also have to watch out for the mounting depth of the 60mm gauges; some of them are a not only larger diameter but also thicker. I have a mechanical APEX'i boost gauge and it works fine.

That is searching. What you are doing is asking a question that has been asked many, many, many times before.
I am also assuming you won't search either because you are too lazy, or can't understand the instructions I gave you. Since I am such a 'nice guy'...I'll go one step further in helping out a fellow rotorite...
All you have to do is move your cursor over these links below, then click your left mouse button (preferably with the index finger of your right hand) and you will have all the answers to all your questions concerning gauges...

i installed 2 greddy 52mm gauges on my pillar, an EGT gauge and a boost gauge. they dont quite match perfectly but from a lot of people ive talked to and personal experience, theyre extremely accurate and reliable, and dont malfunction down the line like certain other gauges.

Look, I KNOW I am being an *** to this guy, but seriously...if you have EVER posted on ANY sort of forum before you should know to search before asking these lame *** newb questions. I thought it was common sense. I guess not...
Just wait until you see the next "What gauges should I get" thread. Will you answer them, instead of telling them to search, since you ALREADY answered the SAME question LAST week? Maybe. But what about when it gets asked AGAIN the next week? Still gonna answer them? Maybe...so you like helping people out. But wait...yup, you guessed it...next week you see the SAME ******* THREAD AGAIN! Are we going to tell them to search yet???

First of all.
I would like to say Gotboosted, get the modem out your ***.. Look things change, new stuff comes out all the time. and so what if the same question gets asked
over and over?? Ever occurred to you that different people have different opinions.. And what was good
in 2000 maybe outdated by 2002.. Get my point??
2nd l.. MR think you so smart.. Hey BUDDDY
Each POST has TOPICS?? does it NOT??
SO if you so sick of tired of the same questions and etc.
WHY NOT YOU LOOK at the TOPIC and SKIP IT??
OR are you not smart enough to comprehend that?
Instead of skipping over the topic, you rather waste
your time and effort to tell someone to SeARCH.
and got the nerve to whine about it..
Hey BUDDY why don't you " SEARCH " for new topic??
God cant stand people who got the nerve to respond
to tell someone to search.. Stop beign so ****
We are all hear to Help each other and get info.
So stop being a flamer and chill. OR do you NEEED
to search to do so???
Get over it..

And I DO just pass over the **** I don't want to read. I click on MAYBE 15-20% of the threads in any given section. And I only go in about 5-6 different sections. But there are some things that just DONT need to be covered again, and again, and AGAIN. Things like, "Hey, what gauges do I need?", "V8 in an RX-7?", "Which is better, an RX-7 or a Supra?", "Should I buy this RX-7 with 135,000 miles and the original motor which blows smoke all the time and eats coolant for $9000?".
It get's old.
On a sidenote, since I am 'MR think you so smart'...why don't you try writing a coherent sentence with proper punctuation? You did graduate high scool, didn't you?

Want parts ? But maybe not from the dealers...check here :

Please dont forget to search the archive...lots of useful info there too before posting a new thread..such as :
AST vs No AST
Boost issues
Model differences
as well as performance products that other forum members have..
Now the description of this section states it is for performance modifications and technical discussions...so please resist the urge to post links to things like EBAY making fun of someone's car...no matter how terrible, or other trivial dribble Please use the appropiate sections when making threads....
Body kits parts belong in the interior/exterior section
Wheels and suspension belong over there...
Please check the 20B section if you are a newbie wanting to put a 20B in your FD
Lets's all try to use a little common sense....

Hey, everybody that's complaining about people not searching enough... Nobody's forcing you to read repeated topics, usually the topic titles give a pretty accurate indication of what the thread is about. If you see "V8 in an RX7" or "RX7 vs Supra" there's an easy solution for you - just don't read it. Either post and be helpful, or use your powers of reason and avoid topics you think are repeated too often. The only thing I find more annoying than over repeated topics are how everyone uses them as an excuse to jump in and bitch about over repeated topics!

So, I took the time to make up some ******* pictures to make it easy on the guy. I even did the damn search for him, and posted the links. Yes, I was a little (maybe too much? Are we sensitive in here?) sarcastic, but I wasn't trying to be MEAN, I was trying to help the guy out. If I wanted to just be mean, I would have simply said, "JUST ******* CLICK THE SEARCH BUTTON YOU ******* IDIOT". But I didn't do that, did I?
But no, then people had to get on MY case for helping the guy out and TEACHING him how to use the search function.

I have had experience with the GREDDY/Blitz/Apexi/Defi/HKS gauges(I'm talking personal experience as in I tried ALL of these) and have found that the Defi gauges are indeed the best priced gauges interms of installation and lighting.
