Smile Cool ricer gauges?

Where do they get them? Everytime I see a fairly decent ricer, like a Supra (which I don't really consider rice) they have an awsome gauge setup. What I am looking for is a gauge I saw that flashes the internal light when it goes above or below a set perimiter. I want an Air/Fuel ratio gauge for my A-Pillar that will do that in case my car goes lean under nitrous use. Anyone have an ideas or if you have something, can you post some pics.

Autometer Nexus gauges will do that, but they are rather pricey

Air/Fuel gauges that rely on your stock O2 sensor are pretty much inacurate junk light shows...

You would be MUCH better off buying a nice accurate wideband kit.

I can't believe anyone who owns an Fbod would ever use the words "cool" and "Ricer" in the same sentence. lol

I saw MSD has a sweet set of LED gauges that they just introduced at SEMA on Speed channel last night. I don't know any more details but they looked cool.

What, you haven't seen pics of F-Body's turned into rice machines

I will look into the gauges you all recommended and thank you Sleeper Supra for the advice on the wide band. You're right, what good is a gauge if it's not doing it's job.

Some people that really put money into their import will buy gauges from GReddy, HKS, Apexi, or Blitz. Of course, those gauges are in metric, have to be imported from Japan, and cost about as much as AutoMeter's Nexus or Cobalt gauges. But damn do they look nice.

If you noticed, GReddy, HKS, Apexi, and Blitz make performance parts for some of the fastest cars in Japan. Those companys aren't like APC and you will pay good money for their parts.

Knowing whats going on in your motor is rice?

News to me...

Autometer has a ton of lines to suit and match up almost any car. I have used the Ultra light set looks nice and is a few oz lighter *that matters ever soo much...*

AEMs Wideband setup is great for A/F I got an autometer on my honda for when I was tuning it. I read up more and found out I had to convert it to run wideband and all. Pain in the *** amount of wiring it works just as well and matches my oil pressure and water temp A piller gauges but AEMs works without more wiring.

I have. And the owners of those vehicles should be taken out and shot.
