^ i buy gauges based on aesthecis accuracy and price.... currently im stuck between blox and revo gauges, neither of which are expensive but both look decent and get the job done and no one knows who the expletive revo is either lol

BLOX (i like them when off but not too sure i like the on, its like green backlit):


REVO (nice, cheap, but no EGT offered):



both run about $50/gauge

The thing that I have never gotten with HT is way everyone is worried about how much someone pays for something. Does it really matter to you what gauges I run? I had these gauges before most people and before I was even on HT so I can tell you that I didnt buy them because of a HT fad or a bandwagon or anything.

I got Defi's because they are good gauges and the where what I wanted so I paid for them. Some people are worried about what things cost. I on the other hand am not.

The reason I got them. 1: They are made by nippon-seki, the same company that makes oem honda clusters. 2: the font, colors, needle and lighting match my stock ones as if they were made to match, because I personally like to keep my car clean and not have some neon blue gauges throwing off the factory feel 3: all but the boost are electrical. 4: everytime someone sees the setup for the first time they get commented on....but thats just me

5: You need something that is going to work the first time you buy it; not the second time you buy it because it failed the first time and left you with a blown motor as well. ::Food for Thought::

There accurate and look good. They are expensive that is all that is wrong with them that I can tell. Show me a nicer a gauge?

I like Trust/Old school HKS and Defi. They are pricey but what the hell.

The MLX seems to be geared more towards SCCA type's with the Lap timing and what not. Not that its a bad thing. I might look into that more

its nice for that, but that is just one of the display options. you can have boost, rpm, tps, whatever displayed.

it also comes with this kickass dattalogging software that blows anyhting ive seen out of the water
