A matter of opinion.....

OK, getting ready to order the gauges and I want your opinion.....

3 - 2-1/16" gauges -
* Wideband 02
* Fuel Pressure
* Vacuum/Boost

Should I go with the Autometer Nexus or the C2? Check em' out.

Re: A matter of opinion.....

Those three gauges in the Nexus style would cost...

WB O2 $400
FP $250
Boost $250

So $900 for three little gauges...

On that alone, give your two choices, I'd go with the C2.

Personally, when I get home from Iraq and finish up the IROC I'm redoing my entire cluster with Autometer Phanton II's.

First off, thanks for the reply.

This is what they will actually cost....
* Nexus - $801
* C2 - $732

This is for all three gauges, not the pod. The pod is $59. I may price some other Autometer gauges too, but I sure don't mind spending the money considering my future plans for this car. Given the upcoming ProCharger, I feel that Fuel Pressure, Wideband 02 and a boost gauges are vital parts of the build.

No offense, but I wasn't looking for anyone's approval to spend the money, I just wondered what people thought of those specific guages.

PS- Don't feel too bad for me, you gonna spend some money on your Phantom's too dude..... You gotta pay to play.

Its cool man. Get whatever ya like I just remember how shocked I was when I first saw the Nexus gauges, figured I'd make sure ya knew the cost of them before you got too into them..heh. I didn't even price the C2's... hot damn those ones are a rip off Since they are so close in price, if I were you'd I'd just get the Nexus ones.

No doubt the Phantom II's are gonna set be back quite a bit. Just like my Sparco seats.. No doubt gotta pay to play. This year of my life I'm spending in Baghdad is funding my interior upgrades
