Why don't you give the money to Evil John and have him order the stuff for you? He lives right next to you.

I was under the impression that the Lotek pod was discontinued.
My gauges were $70 each, not including sending units.
you'll also need the RB adapters.

The adapters as well... What is the total price on a triple gauge setup for oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp?


You can always do a DIY ground kit, I'm picking up some 10 gauge wire to do my own, easy, cheap, and effective.

Jedi, what gauges do you have?

I remmeber John had a cheaper set of gauges.


I still kick myself in the *** for not buying his cluster when he parted his car out, at the time I assumed I was going to be in an s2k within a week, so much for that

They are not discontinued yet, they're still for sale.

You also need the oil and water adapters if you're going to do oil tem/pressure or water temp/pressure.

Not anymore.

You can go to home depot and buy some stuff and make your own adapters.

Classes on Saturday are like four hours long, it's really easy to fall behind if I don't go to class for the lectures.

Mechanical gauges are fine, IMO. Hot oil running into your engine bay? Hook everything up properly and you're fine.

I'll probably be a fanboy and buy some Blitz gauges from another forum when my time comes.

I don't think I'm going to 7stock either I was only going to see John anyways :'(
