i dont think there is much wrong with autogauge gauges.
Most of the time you are looking to see any irregular activity that is going on, so difference of being 0-5% out probably doesnt matter.

unless you get your defi gauges calibrated on a regular basis, how can you assure yourself they are any more accurate?

Im running a mixture of autometer and auto gauge gauges in my supra. they will be fine for what im going to be doin.

cut springs, what a joke

You turn the gauges so in normal operating conditions the needles point straight up so, at a glance(periperhal vision) you know everything is alright, or wrong

my bad i was just saying he spent all that money on nizmo, cusco etc parts and went cheap on some of the most important things.
i don't like auto gauges because from past experiences they are not all that great, more then 5% out, like one oil temp gauge was out buy 12c thats heaps if your trying to keep an eye on things to be out by, the last thing i'd use on my car..any car would be a auto gauge oil press. i use pivot and auto meter. and im not rich but i know whats more important to spend my money on, knowing my engine oil is not over heating is one of them. can some one remind me what the temp that oil starts to degrade at??? its slipped my mind. u get what u pay for... some one buy it and part it out of all those expensive bits.
