Hi Guys

 

Need some help, iv decided to go for some Prosport gauges as i like the look of them and everything else is way off budget for me

 

Does anybody have any information on the quality or the accuracy of these gauges, any help would be great but im not getting any true and unconflicting advice about them

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

I've fitted several sets of the Premium peak/warning versions, all seems good. Coupld of issues though - they advertise as being able to fit in tandem, so you wire up one gauge for power and connect the others too it...but when fitted in a Pillar pod the connecting looms supplied are not long enough so you have to wire them all up individually anyway.

 

other issue is that the peak/warning buzzer sounds everytime you turn on the ignition which can be a bit annoying.

 

They seem ok quality and accurate, and look good.

the buzzer can be turned off by pressing button on gauge when turned on if i remember correctly-

Hiya mate

 

You dont have any pics on how they are in your car or even better a video of them would be great

 

Thanks

No pics (not fitted them to my own car, just other peoples) , but there is a vid here

I can post some pics up later of the premium gauges in a 2 pod a pillar (from zcenter).

 

I was gluing them into the pods the day before I saw your post. For some reason the premium ones don`t seem to come with any mounting brackets which is odd.

 

Like Legrath says the pass through connector looms are short. I simply extended these a few inches. The sensors seem decent enough though - I`ll take pics of the whole lot so you can see what you get!

Thanks for this mate, let me know how they work once your using them properly, do you think for the money theyre worth it or should i stretch further and maybe get some defis (damn expensive even though they are)

 

Let me know mate

 

Thanks

Sorry no pics yet, been making use of the good weather.

 

Got them fitted after much buggering about. Managed to find the mounting brackets which I don't know how I missed. Got the glue off the pillar pod and removed them, put the gauges back in with the hood visor and proper mountings. Wish I had left them glued in tbh! You can't tighten the bracket up enough to hold the gauges properly without distorting the back of the gauge body :( End result of this? The bloody button on the front sinks in and you can't click it.

 

So I glued them back in with araldite. Cue problem two. Straight out the box the little plug for the oil pressure gauge had the wires in the wrong order. So that didn't work and I had to phone Florida (the bloke was really helpful though).

 

Third problem is that the boost gauge is way nosier than the other two. Waiting for a reply from Prosport on this one.

 

 

Overall I would not buy them again. :(

 

 

Still want pics lol?

Well if you think the gauges are crap then im not gonna bother, i just need to find something equivalent to defi gauges at a good price

 

Thanks anyway mate
