Default AutoGauge meters

Anyone have ANY bad things to say about AutoGauge meters??? Do they suck?? are they ok?? are they very ok to the price??
I have my eye on them cause of price and the DEFI look (have not got the money to buy DEFI and dont need DEFI )...

If you want gauges, but can't stretch to Defi's, then Autometer gauges are the best bet by far IMO

Sorry again m8! you know froggies can't read...
I've supply them directly in the US from summitracing.com.

Just a word for the pic, the right gauge is a CSR one (with peak memory and user defined alarm) for oil t°
sadly it's only on °F but you should be happy with this unit

yep that's the bigger problem with these gauges but you get used to it as you can simply note were is the 'normal' position of the needle when you drive and make some conversion at the begining when you do adjustements on the engine

you can download this very useful freeware.. http://www.abms.ca/Technique/Convert.zip

I hope this help, this time
