    Not sure I get it either :confused5: If the guy wants to buy a $500 gauge, let him.....I'm sure we have ALL spent money where other people thought we shouldn't, but? :cool:

    Back to his question.....have you just Googled "62mm gauge pod"? Seems they are popular on the Asian cars.......

    Well I would place the gauge in the trash can because GReddy stuff is for JDM cars.

    You can shop around and buy better, after all the other issues with your car are fixed.


    Oh and we are all older and wiser than you and our cars run great.

    Genick....
    My suggestion....
    You can ask a million questions....
    But all boards are productive based multiple inputs....
    Not just multiple takers....
    I think if you post, helping folks, Not only asking for help...the tone of the conversation will be better....
    You are in danger of being "that person"....
    Your " Polly" tactics might have unintended results.....so to be friendly I am going to suggest you become part of the community, rather than just a taker or information collector/aggregator......
    Good luck.

    Im not gonna convince anyone that im a "provider" of information simply because im not, and this is because i have no knowledge regarding tech stuff to offer. Also, you shouldn't discriminate users with characterizing them as "takers" or "providers".
    Some of us can offer info, others cannot and this is not done on purpose! Should the "takers" be banned? I certainly dont think so. I thought forums are built to help all, not just the ones with knowledge, what's the point of creating a ghetto of information only for ones that know the whereabouts on mechanical stuff etc.? pfff

    ZippyNH my name is "genik" not "Genick" and i don't need your sarcastic wishes for Good luck :rolleyes:

    Genick, its your car and your money, there are far better ways to spend your money on your car though. Such as fixing any issues it might have before spending $500 on a gauge you probably wont pay any attention to.
    You have already said you are not a "tech" person, why the need for aftermarket gauges then? Is it because all the other kids at school say it would be sick?

    Everybody has different areas of expertise where they can help others and contribute. Never said you had to help with cars....
    Just only see you posting asking for help...never offering it..
    Thought maybe you had some experience with the part in question from a prior car ownership experience, etc....some folks know tech...some law...some selling...some just life..
    Engaged users as opposed to drive by posters are how boards survive...
    And posting the same post in 10 places means one can only check your own threads, not be a person on those boards that folks get to know....
    If you don't get what you need, cross posting to another forum makes sense!! Nothing wrong with it....
    Not trying to be scarastic....just trying to help you be one of "the gang" as opposed to a drive by outsider! Sure we sometimes have irreverent banter....but sometimes that is what can make forums fun! Those extra smiles, the ocassional giggle, Can really brighten a day that just sucks cause the car is acting up....
    And sorry about misspelling your user name...auto correct can suck!!
