    www.constella.co.uk they do cheap gauges. am probably getting some on there, my mate has them and theyre electronic so just put a sender unit on for your oil temp etc then just nice neat, clean wires feeding into your car. they might not be accurate as a high quality part but will do the job and seem to work pretty well for my friend :nod:

    Sorry guys, just seen this.
    We can get the cheaper electronic gauges very similar to the vivid ones, but it would mean ordering a few to get them in.
    We're happy to run a group buy on those if people would like?
    Let me know if you're interested and I'll dig out some prices :thumbs:

    ok, we have a supplier and they're the proper electronic, separate sender style, daisychainable, black face when off, posh sweeping intro sequence affairs with memory and remote control :smokin:

    if I'm going to order one of them in as a sample, what would people like to see?
    I'm guessing a boost gauge?

    I wouldn need boost as im running a NA Toyota AE86. But i would be interested in air/fuel, oil pres, oil temp, fuel press.. But as someone said.. depending on some pics and of course the price.. Let see them! :nod: I just bought a mechanical Oil press to monitor the first start up of the new engine.. Would like to see these black faced before i buy more of the other type ( MOCAL. )

    If possible please send pics to hoegh@pc.dk..
