That's what I've got on my RA Steve. Works great, looks OEM etc...

Quality is very good, installtion looked simple enough (I didn't install it myself in the end), and readings seem accurate.

Only 'fault', if I can call it that, is that at night it's a bit too bright and it reflects off the windscreen. There is no 'brightness' adjustment. For pic check out my garage, I also put a 'switched off' pic here:

Bottom line, for the price, they are definitely value for money.

did u buy it from here

i wonder if u can hook it up to the dimmer on the standard guages??

[Hecky]

Got mine from fleabay....$150 delivered if I remember correctly....
Where you looking to mount it?

[Hecky]

$42 for the black pod??? That's crazy!!

Actually, I've got a black pod, never used it in the end. It is opened, but all the parts are in there. If you want it ($15? plus delivery) let me know...

hecky.
mounting it between the vent and the speedo/tacho bump on top of the dash similar to arutha.
what brand of black pod do u have?
and its 60mm?

autobahn just quoted me $165 complete instore with the autometer pod

So is this gauge an electronic or mechanical type? Electronic are deemed more accurate.

Only 'fault', if I can call it that, is that at night it's a bit too bright and it reflects off the windscreen..

The one I've got has a dimmer function when I flick on my lights, but it does brighten up when boosting.

It's an Autometer pod, for 52mm gauge, product code #3204 I believe

[sleeper]

ah, k, i need a 60mm, thanks anyway hecky

3204 is 60mm though.

[Hecky]

Ah, ok. Mine is definitely for a 52mm gauge.

Anyways, never mind. Good luck with it. And like I mentioned, the Autometer SportcompII are good, but a tad too bright...

Make sure you post some pics when it's all installed...
