I want to buy some gauges for the car, but do not know which ones I want to buy (manufacturer?). I want a boost, egt, & oil pressure. I know that I only want electrical, not mechanincal. I had hks guages in my 240, but do not like the new Chrono DB, and the regular DB meters are all mechanical now. I plan on placing them on the winshield, not on the a piller, but suction cuppped right at the a pillar. I saw this set up on the RSX that Dynamic Auto sport did about a year or two ago. Basically, I am looking for any feedback on the gauges you guys have installed, and how you like/dislike them?????? Thanks in advance!!!! See you all Sunday, and this time I will actually talk to some of you.... 8)

Yeah, thos new autometers are nice, but are not yet available. Also, they cost just as much (if not more than the Defi BF) - their control unit is $199! Ouch!

But hey, if you can go for the Defi BFs then I suppose you cannot leave Autometer off your list.

I must say DEFI gauges rock, had them on my last 2 cars, They just look sweet! and now with the new EVO friendly color you just can't go wrong.

Those are custom made, he just put suction cups on the bottom of a regular mount. I think you're looking for Blitz DC meters, they are originally the ones who made the suction cup mount. Also their gauges are really thin.
