I just got mine too, went with Calibre gauges... They look not too bad actually.

Also got the car apart again.. Fitting up the angel eyes should be done tomorrow, the silicon is setting atm!

Hmm not happy with the front edge finish on the tri pod. It's not the nice shiny texture of the rest, bit like it's been rubbed dull about half a cm all along the front edge. Moulding problem I'd assume. Unsure on getting a refund just yet. Don't feel it's worth the price though...

"Race Tech" gauges are cheap and the come in 52mm smoke face and blue LED illumination. Had them for 12 months now and no issues and pretty sure they can still be bought on ebay.

Steve, I'll swap you a genuine FPV guage holder for your tripod if you're not happy with it?

Looking to get an extra guage, so was gonna order a tripod very soon...

Hmm I do want the third gauge though. I was looking at it just then outside, it's "ok" and I'm losing the willpower to kick up a fuss at BPT. They haven't answered my email from over 24 hours ago either.

also have bought the 3 gauges already dean!

yeah I bought the race tech ones from ebay :)

Dont be tight and buy Autometer gauges.

These were my old gauges I had in my XR6T. They are autogauge and you can buy them from a member on here.

I now have Cobalt autometer gauges. Much prefer the autometer as they seem to work faster with no delays.

Gauges are en route from Hong Kong still. The nice gauges are around 150 a pop. I'd prefer them but I do have to work within a budget. Also realised insurance is up for renewal again soon, was 13 or 1400 last time. That will slow me down!

Maybe if I bothered to ask to see some top shelf gauges in action and could compare to cheap ones I'd have ordered differently...too late for that though! If they suck ass I'll sell em :)

Looked ok in the vid, I can imagine the startup time could be improved though (just realised you have the vid up of the old faster ones right?). Vid of the new ones?
