oldcorollas Forums Junkie Location: Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Japan Registered: January 2003	Re: aftermarket gauges Wed, 15 June 2005 06:02 i have VDO gauges in mine.. in fact i got them brand new in box, but they were manufactured in the early 70's!! seriously!! i also checked the temps vs my freshly calibrated Megasquirts temp sensors (which was calibrated with a K-type thermocouple datalogger and a water/glycol bath at uni ) and accuracy was approx +/-1deg as far as i can tell... (edit, all the temp senders were brand new.. the oil pressure was original) the Pricol are apparently made to the same specs as the VDO and cost less. AND the VDO speedo's look awesome definitely on my shopping list.. as for the japanese brand name gauges.. they are, for the most part, just that.. they probably work as well as the VDO's for accuracy, but cost up to 10 times as much.. and as for autometer, afaik, their competition gauges (ie the oil filled types) are quite good, but their cheaper gauges are not so accurate... then again, any elec sender gauge will not be as accurate as a purely mechanical gauge, imho. save your dosh, get some nice simple VDO/Pricol gauges, and smirk at the "people" with $1000 worth of gauges on the front left side of their bonnet as they drive down George St heh heh [Updated on: Wed, 15 June 2005 06:03] [Report message to a moderator]
