Ralliart gauges

Postby The Swede » Wed Sep 06, 2006 10:33 pm

Cr@p pic, I admit (too much light), but at least finally got my act around to taking one.

Interesting is to see the similarity with Defi's Triplemeter (glass, angeld towards driver, same start-up sequence) etc. Wouldn't be surprised Defi would be Ralliart's outsourcer for this bit of kit.

Ralliart's:

Defi's are here: http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/ ... _type.html

What d' ya mean ? :suss:

They look better in real than on the pic and fit well in with the rest of the interior.
I also find the liven the whole thing a bit up as the standard Evo interior is pretty sombre otherwise.

Look fwd to see your 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) Type 25 ! :woohoo:

Ah! My friend! It's not the car that matters - it's the driver!

I was truly humbled tonight. I hadn't really chatted to this guy down the boozer before. He's quiet. I'm not.

So we had a proper first chat tonight. Turns out that he used to be a test driver - and only gave up when a medical condition forced him to. You wouldn't give the guy a second glance and he's oh-so quiet. But he had a story or two, including endurance testing in Finland.

Talk about gardening and there was a slow monotone. Talk about cars and there was an excitement, and a glint to his eyes.

I learnt a lot tonight about listening rather than my usual inane spiel. Believe it or not, he got his job after applying for the position when it was advertised in the job centre :omg: :wtf2: :omg:

Tell you what swede - most ive seen have the radio and gauges the other way round, but I recon youve struck it right that way. Looks much better and probably easier to glance at the gauges a bit higher up.

They are defis - nearly bought them myself, but went for the ones on the A pillar instead.

To be honnest, it was Donald's idea of swapping them around and I think it was :ok:

After all, you buy this car to drive it, not to listen to the radio.

Love it every day more. :thumb: tip you gave us.

Good old Donald - noticed the FQ 360 has the gauges below the radio :?

Attention to detail - thats why I use the lads at Ware Garages.

...and the boost gauge only goes to 1.5 Bar! :shock:

I have it on good authority (from the tuner) that the FQ-360 boosts to 1.6 Bar......So, the gauges CCC have fitted are useless! :cuckoo:

I much prefer the Ralliart / Defi product, the ones in the '360' are a cheap imitation! :roll:
Sold out and bought an EVO......then sold it because it was rubbish!
