yeah heres some advice, dont get it from autojoy :lol:
it will still be shit expensive like 300+ for a gauge even at 'wholesale' price..
search the net for good prices, although most of them are overseas with good deals. Try summitracing.com, they have awesome prices, like for an autometer gauge it would cost around $65 AUD on average, but then there shipping and handling fees, but if your getting more then one gauge its a very worthwhile option.

Not that I care abt Autojoys profits but please think twice before trying to save few bucks as many ppl have got burnt

Plus somedays it is alrihgt to pay few bucks extra and just walk into a shop and buy something

esp if there is a warranty involved

and yes there have been times when you get stuff on your own you end uo paying so much customs charge and freight that it becames more expensive than shops !!

ok well i'll adjust my advice to be a little more politically correct, dont get it from autojoy :lol: haha seriously, there wholesale prices will cost you more then what normal shops will charge, try carmate.com.au
or any shop ! other then autojoy, i been to there caslte hill store and it says it all, the only shit they have is ricey crap along with some mobile phones :roll: ... yes they have some gauges and some other shit that might be half useful but they are like 10x rip off from the prices i saw, all in all stay away from autojoy its just another rice dealer with unrealisticly expensive shit. </2cents> :)

btw what sort of gauge are you looking to buy...sometimes you've got to fork out for "brands" ie greddy apexi no way of getting out of it ..especially with counter sales in sydney
wanna save an arm and leg

DONT BUT ANYTHING FROM AUTOJOY, my experience with them has always been bad, espicially with daniel, they make promises they cant keep, meaning they say they can get things in, when you go to pick up the goods, they make up some bullshit story thats its no longer available or thats its out of stock. TRUST ME SAVE YOUR SELF THE HEADACE...

I was at Castle Hill one day and I thought I would drop in just to see if they would have any decent guages in there.

I asked them if they had Defi Guages as some places are starting to stock them now and the guy just looked at me and said "nah mate don't have any idea what they are, we only stock the good stuff"

That was my queue to turn around and walk out. It was a complete waste of time.

Even though this thread is OVER 1 year old.....
I don't think autojoy make any presumptions that they are anything but a rice shop.
Just look a their full hectic mufflers none are over 2.5" inlet.
And even if you wanted rice, you would go to the markets, Parklea has heaps of store there, and their prices are actually pretty good.
