i prefer electric but theres nothing wrong with a quallity made mech gauge i think blitz are mech but instead of a cheaply made plastic tube they use a braided line

i run speco electronic 2 5/8 at 90bucks a pop there one of the best bang for buck gauges no bullshit no fancie lighting effects straight up whats she doing readings

that said i've run mech water temp,oil temp for over a year and no dramas the only drama i realy had was the oil press line keeped on getting a kink in it

[selk]

yeh definately use braided lines

[anastasios]

or copper lines

omori, best peroid style gauge for the ae86, all mine are mechanical, although they have braided lines. got oil temp, pressure, water temp, and boost obviously boost will be for later on down the track

there alright

autometer Nexus gauges are FUcking Crazy AS i think they cost heaps tho

[oneyear]

mechanical save money!!
and electronic save live!!!
i choose electronic one!!

[Julz01]

nexus gaugaes are just ripoffs of defi gauges, really for the price of a nexus gauge u might as well go a defi, the nexus ones just look like cheap chinese quality gauges.

I'm heaps keen to get one of those volt gauges so I can always see how many volts my battery is putting out.

Those things are so important.
