Rev Counter - Which one?

[CraigW]

As everyone knows im going to get a rev counter for my car and it will be in a single pod on the a-pillar. Ive decided to get one from raid hp but im stuck between four, these are:

Raid Hp Silver

Raid Hp Plasma

Raid Hp Carbon

Raid Hp Nightflight

Just wondered what everyone thought of these and which one i should consider.

After ive made my choice i will see about the whole wiring situation

Thanks in advance.

i think the raid hd silver 1, looks clear and easy to see
the plasma 1 looks like it might be to bright and distracting at night,
the carbon 1 looks to hard to see at a glance

nightflight if i had to choose

1 - letters too dim and needle to thin

2 - bit bright but may be better in the flesh

3 - is that a rev counter ? cant even read it

4 - clear precise and a decent needle and looks like it would be decent to read at night and bonus is black when off


wiring is easy - instructions will cover most of it but basically its an earth/positive(ign)/illumination from lights switch(or ign) and a trigger from the coil

I was thinking the same about the plasma one, could be hard to read in the dark because of it being so bright, quite like the carbon one but it is abit hard to see at a glance.

Im stuck between the silver and nightflight one now. The thing about the nightflight is that its black when its off, the needle and numbers dont become visible until you switch the car on.

Also with the nightflight i was thinking that it is more inline with the standard gauges because of the black background n that, plus as i said before i like the idea of the needle etc being hidden until the car is turned on. I liked this when i saw the picture of surcalations gauges that he put in his car.

i agree with fl@pper the nightflight one would look best, even more so as your gauges are black.

PLEASE not the carbon effect one. It looks proper :gay:

what's wrong with the factory one ?

 

[Benji-boy]

nightflight. imo.

 

[surcalation]

nightflight

 

[smash_3000]

I'd go with the nightflight

 

[Mckellar]

what's wrong with the factory one ?

im assuming he has a lower spec'd 1.4 and it comes with a clock on the instrument dials and not a rev counter.

Ive seen the plasma one before, they look good, but the nightflight one #4 looks good and clear.

As sum1 mentioned i dont have a rev counter!

After looking at surcalations photos its definetly going to be the nightflight one. It looks so good in the dark but it is also so clear!!

Im going to go n order it now i think, then i can sort out the a-pillar pod and th wiring situation.

 

[Fl@pper]

i wish you hadnt shown that pic surculation i want one now

steering wheel that is

it's going to look pretty stupid having an 8k rev counter maxing out at 5800rpm

I feel like your James May somedays

Flapper - The steering is really nice to the touch Beats the standard one by MILES
