Anyone own one of these, it's seems pretty cool, I've never seen anything like them before. I don't have the money to afford it now, but I was just wondering... they also have a similar one which just reads rpm's and mph

that looks pretty cool...I have driven a cadillac with a similar display before and its pretty cool...u can see it during the day and at night...

yeah I've found it to be pretty interesting, so anyone have one, or any other thoughts on them

There nice but if you driving tward the sun your screwed.

I have one. Very high cool factor. No problems with visability. The readings flictuate, but I have recently read a thread about substituting a large diameter connector in the vacuum line for increased responsiveness. The discussion indicates that the pressure is extremely sensitive and I now (that is to say within the last 48 hours) believe that I need to reconfigure my set up. I think that the readings will stabilize with either a different ID size connector or a different line length to the gauge sensor. I chose this one because it has a peak hold feature and I am putting EGT and oil temp gauges in with the Autometer Instrument Bezel. If you don't plan to add two others, I would just put a regular gauge in the instrument bezel. That way you'll have all your instuments between your hands.

Who are you getting the Autometer Instrument Bezel from? I was looking for one but nobody seems to have any.

I have one of these, and I love it. It is very unique, and there is no problem with visibility. The only problem was that there is a strange reflection that you see without using the small provided screen, but other than that, it is great. when you consider the fact that you get a boost gauge, with peak hold, a vacuum measurement to know if you are close to being on boost, and numerical as well as a small climbing LED gauge that notifies you, and you get a user programable yellow and red LED lights that you can set a certain boost levels to let you know of you are getting close to peak boost. Very cool stuff. Take a look at the actual website that imports them from Japan.

One other thing, the directions are terrible, and the translation from Japanese is rough at best. I would have it professionally installed. Best of luck.

I haven't ordered the Autometer Bezel yet, so I don't know. I've seen it advertised on several websites. I'll be ordering it within the next couple of weeks, though, so I'll post it when I do.

I would be interested in the autometer bezel too the only problem is that they are not making it and do not know when or if they will make it according to an e-mail that I received from them. Who are these vendors that have them for sale?

found this one: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/products.html?http://www.alamomotorsports.com/autometer/clusterbezel.html

Also wrx-performance.com had them advertised last week. The web site was just down when I checked it, but that may be temporary.

Back to the HUD meter, you guys that own them, how bright are they? I was thinking of doing a hud in the same place, w/ a similar smoked transparent piece on the windshield, but with a 4" lcd video screen, with horizontal flip, hooked up to an hks camp, possibly a rear view cam. You guys think it would be bright enough to be visible on a bright day?

It is bright enough to see under almost all conditions.

As far as the rest of your question goes, I can't tell what you are intending to do. It sounds as if you're asking two questions. First: "I was thinking of doing a hud in the same place, w/ a similar smoked transparent piece on the windshield,"

Answered above

Second: "but with a 4" lcd video screen, with horizontal flip, hooked up to an hks camp, possibly a rear view cam. You guys think it would be bright enough to be visible on a bright day?"

Do you mean you plan to put a lcd video screen in front of the projection unit, facing you? I have no idea about the visibility of an lcd projection screen in that position. I'm doubtful that the visibility of a one color lcd projected image that reflects off a (if memory serves) 35% reflective surface can be an indicator of how visible the lcd screen you're considering would be. Interesting gadget, though.
