FCUK YES SON!!!!
Much like my 6 broken axles this year I call that an acceptable loss
Now hook your boost controller lines back up and stop free-boosting son [Your supposed to be smarter than I about such things ]

HAHAHA!!
i never removed the boost controller, D.

i wish i could say it happen while boosting, beating some crazy car or some awesome story.
unfortunately, its much less exciting.
i was pushing the car forward to jump it after i killed the battery, slipped in some snow, and was going down, hard, reached up to grab the pillar to stop my fall, but just ended up whacking it with my hand as i fell. lmao.
once i got it running, went to drive away, and noticed it.
must of just whacked it hard enough to knock the needle off.


im thinking about getting one of those omori 45mm gauges and installing it in a custom pod on the steering column, and eliminating the pillar pod altogether.

I REALLY dig my STRI DSD-II Gauges. Full stepper motor action, quality sensors and cables and the oh so pimp start up sequence [Like a tC's stock clusterr does if you've seen that]

[easternpiro1]

i wish i was there to see that slow motion fall and slide! lol!!!

[lagos]

You can pry that bezel up and stick the needle back on. I had to do that with mine before. It probably wont be 110% accurate, but then again no gauge is.

Ditto! Why can't you make good vids like that Manny?

[presure2]

hell, i WISH there would have been a vid of it...that would definetly have been epic!

I really like my omori, but will it match your interior lighting? Mine matches the wrx cluster perfectly, but I think the 45mm ones are just a single color.

I say replace it with a 52mm omori and keep it where it is, unless you have another a-pillar to replace that one with.

well, i took the blue LED's out a while back for some 168's in the cluster, like art did, so the omori gauge is a brighter, bluer white, but thats an easy fix with a handfull of LED's.
im really just wanting to ditch the 3 gauge pillar pod now. i dont have the EGT or oil pressure gauges hooked up anymore, so they just sit there at this point.
im liking the idea of a nice small, clean gauge with a simple install, and no hose to run into the car.

[manphibian]

awesome

DS side vent makes an ideal location on mine. Just an idea

[presure2]

naa, i use it too much to block that much of it off with a gauge.

need that heat for the winter!!!

[jordisonjr]

I was really hoping you were gunna say something like your car pushed so much boost that it blew the needle right off hahahaha.

[JuMPiiN]

I had prosports all electric, then decided to send them back and i picked up a set of DEFI with the controller. So far for the 2 weeks I've been using them there pretty accurate, there sexy looking, and there start up is awesome. There pretty pricey though i must say. Well worth though.

i just checked out ya car pics lol that is sexy and a good idea

yep i use autometer for all my gauges. what is the green LED for?

[95CelicaST]

Knock, I assume.

The problem I have with the gauges with electric motors is that they're loud. My brother has the prosport premium gauges in his Forester, and I can hear the motors adjusting while driving down the road - and he has a catless turbo-back exhaust! I'm not sure how loud Defi gauges are, but if they're all like prosport... No thanks.

its hooked up to the pressure switch of the WI setup.
just lets me know when its activated.
