Default Anyone have or been using the STRI Gauges ?

I have run my course with the current gauges I have and I want to upgrade, I know all about the Defi gauges. But I haven't heard a whole lot about these. Anybody tried these yet ? Looking for some feed back on them.

Thanks

I know Z1 sells them and have said they are pretty nice. I haven't seen anyone with them yet though.

Stri = one of the nicest looking and best bang for the buck gauges. The name is new in the US; however, many tuning shops in Japan has been using Stri gauges for a while since their debut in Japan.

We carry most of them in stock. --> http://www.importtuninggarage.com/stri.html

No additional control box is required as far as we know.

actually in the US market the stri gauges are only available in PSI.

I know cause I ordered mine from Intensepower.com and specifically asked...they also have a DSD line of gauses that use programmable warning functions and they now are available in blue...yes i ask a LOT of questions

These gauges look pretty awesome. I think I'll get these instead of the autometer guages (defi are waaaay tooo expensive)

Hello,

I love it when you talk car!

The STRi Gauges have been selling very well for us also. I know K-Sport is using them in there D1 Drift S13.

I friend has one for oil pressure. the X-line amber.

Definitely best bang for buck. $120 to Canada (+duty and shipping, which is considered cheap...)

But sadly after having seen it in person, it's not a perfect match for our interior amber.

all the STRI guages are imperial measurements in the US. Temp = Fahrenheight, Pressure = PSI

Very good bang for the buck for sure in the DSD Line. Not quite as many bells and whistles as Defi, but, much more cost effective.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the accuracy. I haven't been able to find a way to test accuracy of these gauges.
