Any reason you want a SS anyways? I have heard those things are murder on syncros. Just curious to know why you want one?

I got Sunpro gauges the other day, a water temp and volt gauge. I only spent $13 each on them. They work like a champ. Autometer is great but I dont have that kinda money to drop on gauges.....

They do look great though.......

The sunpro's suck balls compared to autometer, I got them put in tonight. They work great, and i will have pictures in the next couple of days

Have fun with the "disco ball" AF gauge. It's right next to worthless, unless you want to "bling". In every car I've ridden in with one it bounces around until WOT, then it goes rich. YAY! that helps alot!

For the wideband guys...

It does one important thing... tells you when you're leaning out, say from a bad fuel pump or a clogged injector. That's all it needs to do in most cases. If you're installing a wideband setup, then you need it for serious tuning, say for a turbo. Otherwise the normal bouncy-bouncy gauge is just fine.
