It's a series 1 and you can get them here -http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=19_108&products_id=469

It's not a shop, but it's the right one.

ebay has some very nice gauges
i bought one last week and it was under $50 all up (including shipping and insurance)
probably not as accurate as the defi ones but for a quarter of the price that`s accurate enough for me

p.s. i heard the smoked/black gauges are very hard to see in daylight - can anyone confirm this?

yep,the cheap ones are.

personally,gauges are one area where you don't buy cheap shit. if you need to know the info they're telling you badly enough to have bought them in the first place,you want what they're telling you to be accurate. otherwise they may as well not even be there.

I've just fitted a Defi controller II and boost gauge. I had a mechanical gauge in previously and the response was a tad slow. The defi is instant and stuff like the peak function, record/playback and warning set are great. I'll not be going back to mechanical or cheap gauges after this, in fact when I get rid of this car the defi gear will be coming out for whatever I get next. Also with the BF defi meters you get five settings for brightness with lights on or lights off so you can take your pick. Expensive maybe, but as has been said, you get what you pay for and defi are worth it IMHO.

Cheers,
Rich

and 1 for the defi's

like Diablo, I went from a cheapo mechanical gauge where I had to replace the piping to some copper stuff (because the plastic stuff kinked when i tried to install it) which then started to rattle against the inside of my a pillar, to the defi and wondered why i didn't go defi in the 1st place

ah and opening ceremony FTW!
