fzanetti Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Has anyone ever ordered, seen or installed (even better) this gauge package from http://www.japanparts.com??? http://japanparts.com/shop/shop.cgi?mode=itemlist&maker=Subaru&type_car=Legacy+BP%2fBL&type_second=Interior+and+Exterior&type_third=Meters%2fGauges http://www.japanparts.com/Pic/pic107/013-006.JPG Thanks in advance, Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It seems too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADON Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 what Flavio said ^. Don't know who makes them, but a DEFI BF set of 3 gauges would run about $839 plus you need a fab or buy some guage holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmundu Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It is expensive, but it has gone down quite a bit in the last few months. This same part used to be $1089:eek: It also is canted towards the driver, but of a JDM/UK spec car. It doesn't appear to flip around easily without having the wording in the one corner be upsidedown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 They are pricey, but indeed is the only solution for the cubby location, and also with a pre-fitted and designed gauge package... I am thinking about them, even tough they are €€€€€€ Heheheeh Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablo Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 If you are looking for a less expensive cubby guage option, check this thread. Requires you to do some mods on your own, but seems easy enough and worth the savings. I plan to go this route in the near future... good luck! http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9113&highlight=boost+gauge+install My VB Garage...

AWDxBOOST Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i saw it in that car that perrin has on their website...looks really good in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Also, I don't think you get a choice of gauges. I forget what they are, but I know EGT is not included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlcrudoSr Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have them in my Gt. It has boost , oil temp, oil press. The kit comes with the oil filter adapter for the sensors. Got it from Rallispec in N.J. They are made by Defi, and are marked STI Genome on the left side. Stryker posted some photos some time ago. and also were installed in my previous GT wagon . (GRP photos post). Good investment, high quality, goes with the Gt personality.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 do they do the needle sweep like our dash gauges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 You know what, looking at that pic it almost seems like the bezel isn't angled. Can't be too sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 3 guages (that Pep Boys has for about $20) in a hole that already exists ( that will require a custom mount) for ONLY $850 plus installation ( was $1000 + before) God hold me back boys. Ill take all I can get. Are people out of their minds? These might be reasonable at $150 plus install at $850 you need a head shrinker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Uhm, the gauges at pep boys are not really comparable at all to these ones. Consider to buy similar gauges without the mount and all is still about $600-$700. EDIT: Are you really going to mount those cheap-ass gauges in your car? I wouldn't even mount them in my old car! I think I spent close to $200 on a pair of VDO gauges, sender and an A-pillar mount. Well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADON Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 It's the same old crap. Someone always has to threadcrap about it's too much, how can you spend that much money on an item, etc, which I find funny from a Limited owner. Again as stated above, a BF DEFI gauge set would run just as much w/o the gauge holder(s). This STi subaru set is pricy, but it's quality just as the BF DEFI set. If you never ever plan on any mod, then move on, otherwise, these are very nice. ... wonders about a GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Face it, apparently Subaru really targeted the budget minded consumer with this car. I guess this guy & his pep boys' gauges just illustrate that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I spent close to $200 on a pair of VDO gauges, sender and an A-pillar mount. Well worth the money. No im not mounting any guages in my car. My point is that the three extra guages would be nice but $800-1,000 is insane (to me anyway) OK is it me or is this a reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
