Mars Performance, Any Experience?

[Shay]

Found a site/ebay seller called mars performance,
they sell some nice lights for astras, and are based in melbourne,
they also stock some really cheap gauges that me and a mate are interested in,

was just wondering if anyone has dealt with them, or heard about them.


next thing was what do you think i should get, remember im NA.
prob getting volts and oil temp and one more, these are what is avail.
Air/Fuel
Boost
Oil Pressure
Oil Temperature
Tachometer
Vacuum
Volt
Water Temperature

Air/Fuel - These are only accurate if they come with a wideband O2 sensor (or if your car is fitted with one from factory) and even then, it's good information to know, but not much use unless you can adjust it (AFR).

Boost - You're NA right? So you're not going to see any boost.

Oil Pressure - Could be useful

Oil Temperature - Not so useful

Tachometer - What's wrong with the factory one? unless you are exceeding it, it's in the best position to see anyway.

Vacuum - This will range from ~20-110kpa (or whatever units) will not provide any useful information.

Volt - Could be useful if you're running alot of battery sucking accessories, or like to leave your stereo on for long periods, or go to alot of drive-in movies.

Water Temperature - Could be useful, if you don't already have a factory one fitted.

I guess it depends if you want the gauge to serve a purpose and display useful information, of just fill a spot and look good. If it's the latter, just get the cheapest one with the most flashing lights.

yeah ive got 2 sets of HIDs and a jvc ipod adaptor.
even had to send a ballast back for warranty cause it was faulty with no problems.
