Prosport Gauges
 

Does anyone have any experiences with these gauges? I saw one for sale in the For Sale section and I was like "Wow, that thing is really sharp!" They black out when off and light up when the car is turned on. From the video and from the install pics on the site they look like they might be a little dim when amber or blue, but white they look fantastic. Just looking to get some thoughts on them.

looks like thos megan racing gauges to me. regular gauges with a black tint.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

As worthless as autometer gauges are in would want to know how bad the CHINA stuff is :X

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

So what's a good gauge that isn't Defi?

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Want my Defi's? I ------- hate them. Total waste of money.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

No... that's the point they are a waste of money. They are nice looking, but not worth it. I want something that's black background and doesn't cost my first born, but is also a good gauge.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Graft a scooby cluster into your car haha.

I bought the defi's because people told me they were wicked accurate... They are reading live on the display but the needle on my oilpressure acts like it has terrets. The my tach ---- the bed, etc.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Dude I might have to ------- do that. What gauges are in a subie cluster? I need the works... egt, temps, pressures, etc.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

there was a recall on defis awhile ago.
id love to buy them from you. honestly.
They are very very accurate.


prosport gauges. are you really asking if they are worth a ----? :l
get some autometers or something.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

In my pa's legacy its only the gay 3 with 1 cool. Tach(cool), speedo, fuel, water temp. I can't remember the STI though. The opening movie is just like the defi's. Looks ------- killer at night.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

see, I've heard all this ---- about autometer too.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Well ----, I'm gonna call them up and figure this out. I get lots of compliments on them and tons of "aww skeet skeet check the defi's out" but I have not had enough good luck with them to justify saying "yea mang, they're tight ---- yo"

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

How long have you had them? There was a huge recall about a year or so ago...very possible you got part of that stock.

if anoyne is ignorant enough to tell you that auto meters are ----, they are very unedcuated. Autometer has been around for a long long time...and hasn't really changed there product much. Must say something about the company. ;)

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Ive had 3 autometer gauges all have been off buy a bit, their def not that great

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

autometers work but in no way are they very accurate.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

So then what's good, accurate, not hideous, and reasonably priced?

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

of course it is the ones that i am selling 8)
:P

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

When we first started carrying Autometer, we sent a couple back that had the needles off by a bit. Our distributor told us that they had a shelf full of them that way. Kinda disappointing if you ask me. I certainly am not going to ship out a gauge to my customers if it's indicating 4lbs of boost while it's still in the f'n box.

And, no, I don't know of any line of gauges that can compete with Autometer on price or quality. We don't carry the liquid filled Autometers, so it may be that they are a little better quality, but I can't say fopr sure.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Equiss gauges seam to work good for the money.Stewart Warner is another cheaper gauge.Autometer boost gauges are def not accurate there is a write up floating around on zeroing them out.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

every autometer ive had was off, you can re calibrate them but they look junky when your done peeling the ring open and mashing it back on, but they look fine from the front.

checker auto has these gauges for like $25 for a new boost gauge there good enough eqous or somthin. probly easier to read i had one but returned it when i got a nice autometer for 25. shoulda kept the eqous http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...goryCode=3342L

i seen some blox gauges that looked ok, like 40somthin for a boost/vac

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

equis is carried by walmart, but they are a very sharp faced gauge. green glo background, easy to read white oh black, orange sweep.

at first startup the oil will be jittery for like 15-20 secs, but after that, it's rock solid. is very accurate, and mine came with copper line (6ft) for $8 at walmart.


and i love the twist sleeve that locks the gauge to the base or whatever its going into.

beats the ---- out of u brackets and nuts that youy drop into your dash

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

I'll check em out, but the last time I checked my Walmart there weren't gauges or things I would ever think of putting in a car (like leopard print seat covers :-X).

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

i use VDO. they're pretty reasonable
i think i paid $60 shipped for a boost and oil pres. gauge. neither came with plumbing though.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

anyone know where that writeup on recalibrating the autometer gauges is? I tried googling with no luck, the one that looked hopeful was a dead link. My needle always in a weird spot when the car was off but i thought that was normal until my roommate borrowed mine and it was reading like 4 or 5 psi lower than it really was :S :S I blame that and raping on a basemap on my b18b's early demise. I thought running 10 on my basemap was mildly retarded, turns out I was running 15 :1 But anyway, i still have the same gauge. help me.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Ya know... Its wierd... You hear everybody bashing everything... Ive never had a problem with 1 Autometer gauge in the 21 years ive chose them. Not 1. Im not saying that ---- doesnt happen, but 700 dollars for 3 gauges or whatever... ----, id rather run the ebay rice gauges and go to the strip club...



Autometers are fine. Stay away from 10 dollar swap meet garbage. And if you like to waste ytour m,oney.. By all means, bu the hot new trendy bullshit.

Its just not for me.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

My needle on my autometer sits at -10hg when the car is off. It gets right around zero when at full boost and i've only had it for nine months. Autometers suck. >:(
Has anyone every recalibrated one?

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

i did, i dont remember exactly but i think if you open it up its pretty self explainitory, mess around in it while you look at the gauge

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Soooo... Im assuming you fucked it up, or bought it fucked up (used-doubtfully new), tell me how wrong i am.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

mine was at 7 inhg straight out of the package after use it stayed at like 10~ inhg.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Sunpro Dawg. 3 for $9.99 :6

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Yeah I have a sunpro boost gauge and that bitch sits right on 0, but it's queer looking especially with the chrome ring.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Huh.... weird man, like i said ive never had a problem with them.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Sunpro for teh win!!!!! Cheep as ----, and if its bad throw it away and buy another and It will still be cheeper than a autometer.

I think thy are like $20 if you look in the jcwhitney catalog. Jcwhitney online is like $27

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

No i would have taken it back then. ;) It worked well for allmost a year then started to read all fucked up.

Re: Prosport Gauges
 

Whoot! back up, i got a pair of defi's with the link yesterday for $100! Should be in on Friday. No sensors...which will run me about another hundred bucks or so

Now I return you to your daily post whoring of stupid ---- no one gives a rats ass about. :1
