Gauges really get me off, if they’re done right — they’re some of the coolest things you can look at when you’re driving.  Aurora Gauges, a division of Autoloc and the Hoffmann Group, offers a ton of different types of custom gauges, starting with the basics and moving on to beauties like these pinstriped and […]

I loves me some gauges, and this here is no exception. It’s an air pressure gauge from Air-Zenith, but wait a second before you jump down my throat and say, “I’ve seen air pressure gauges before! What makes this so special?” First, it’s digital — that makes it high-tech. Secondly, it’s not only […]

Gauges make me excited in the pants.
There, I said it. And you can too if you’re a repressed gauge lover like myself. Sure, it’s hard to come out of the closet and admit it to your friends, but once you do, you’ll feel worlds better. Just come right out and say it. “I love gauges.” […]

DashDAQ makes a windshield mounted monitor that’s completely customizable, from […]

Even though I don’t yet own a VW, I still enjoy the classy design of the O-Pod, a vented gauge designed for the MKV Jetta and Rabbit as well as the GTI/R32. You can fit the O-Pod to any of the four air vents on the front dash — it still allows air to […]

If you wanna go fast the quick and easy way, you add nitrous to your ride. But if you want to avoid disaster, you need to do it right. Proper instrumentation helps you to not blow up your ride, and Edelbrock has just introduced a pair of gauges to help you monitor the two elements […]

Need some trick gauges that engage your sense of style? Sunpro just introduced the CompetitionEL series, the newest addition to its Faze line of gauges. The CompetitionEL compliments the factory dash lighting found in most newer rides — with a white face and blue electroluminescent backlighting, it’s stylish and also easy to read. Sunpro has […]
