I don't understand doubling up on stock gauges. If you are happy to have two gauges for the same thing, why not have two speedos or two fuel gauges? Which do you look at? Which do you believe?

I have added a boost gauge, digital tach and GPS as a speedo in my car, because my speedo is wildy inaccurate, and I obviously didn't have a tach or boost gauge stock.

I'm not really even that sure about an oil pressure gauge - I think if you are in a position to loose oil pressure, you're not looking at the gauge - you need a big, bright light or a buzzer. Other than that, an oil pressure gauge is really a measure of engine wear.

I agree that Autometer are great.

PS why would anyone want a temp gauge that reads in Fahrenheit?

I love hating these idiots with monster taco's next to their original taco or even better, in an automatic car.

Like Steve said, There should be a warning light for oil pressure, Just like I did in my previous car. I had it mounted to the boost guage which was on the steering column. As soon as that light comes on switch the motor off to prevent death.

How do the Calibre gauges go, are they accurate? I'm very wary of SuperCrapAuto branded products.


quality has improved leaps and bounds, for example the tools are sourced from the same mob as stanley


That may be so, but from my experience with alot of stanley products ( hand tools mainly) their quality has dropped significantly in the past 5 or 6 years.


x2 stanley = shithouse these days, wont touch em

IF you're going to abbreviate it, the pronounciation would be the same - so who cares how you spell it - Tacho, Taco, Tako, Tacko.

IF you're going for the whole word - tackometer is the way to pronounce it, tachometer is the way to spell it

Now that's a monster Taco.

I only pronounce it like that for shits and giggles, I do know the correct way of saying it.
