zomfg gauges!

I've heard the Prosport gauges are kinda finicky. For Christmas Tree I would suggest better quality.

ps- very glad you are rebuilding and not selling her, Fez. (2thumbs)

Yea, quality is coming at some great $$ already .. and don't think I'll be able to cut corners with gauges either.
I'll be scared to drive this damn thing as much cash as it's eating up and the possibility of screwing something up again. hahaha

most widebands are not cheap fyi

Oh yea, I paid $350 for my wideband, I think, as that's Very important.
And I get that oil temp / pressure / water temp is important, but not $200 each important. hahaha

Oh, ouch yeah. wonder how much of that is paying for the brand then

What's wrong with Autometer? I heard they were good quality and an industry standard?

off topic.. but i love how your radio says 124Sex (i know its really 1245.. but after the two holes comment on the initial post.. i feel that time just fits!)

Must have misread. Did your gauges come with sensors or have to buy those separately? (oil pressure / temp sensors, that is)

They came with everything needed: gauge, sender, short lead harnesses, and even a little momentary switch to access the peak, recall, and warning features. Another thing I thought was neat about the Marshalls is they have an output for the warning feature. The gauges will flash when the min/max warning is hit but you can connect the warning output (I forget the voltage) to something else like another light or a buzzer or something. I wanted to tie this into my RX-7's OEM warning buzzer (has one for low coolant/oil) but it's triggered by a ground, not a positive signal.

Yea, PLX charges extra for all their stuff, but I haven't heard anything bad. ever.

I'm leaning more and more toward these. Simple, beautiful, and very competitively priced.
