Default 60mm STi factory style Gauges

11/21
GAUGES ARE IN STOCK AND YOU CAN STILL GET THE $449 PRICE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. WE'RE DOWN TO 10 BOOST GAUGES LEFT FOR 3 GAUGES COMBOS SO DON'T WAIT TO LONG
====================
I've had a bunch of PM's with guys wanting to be first in line for the MadDad(TM) Clarity Ultra Series 66mm gauges(yes...a 66mm face). We're only making one more pre-production change, refining the startup sequence a tad and then we are going to production so we should see these sometime in August, the later half. As with any GB we do you are not charged until we ship the product. Our website will securley gather your billing info but will not charge.

The GB will net you any 3 gauges and a free wireless remote for $449.95. Shipping will be calculated on checkout(it's not free but this stuff isn't all that heavy so it won't be much). We haven't set the retular price in stone but I can tell you the GB will save you at least $100+ . I will let the GB run through the end of August and maybe for a week or two after.

Other items such as Add-On control devices(turbo timer, aux. fan control) and the external warning lamps do have a charge and you can select them from the drop downs. The best install options is going to be an ATi pod or similiar. The 66mm faces fill out the ATi pod almost entirely...cool. You will need a dremel to open the 60mm mount holes a tinge. These gauges are designed for 60mm holes/mounting but every pod brand is slightly different and every gauge brand is slightly different by a 1mm or two so just be aware you'll need your $19 battery operated dremel to open the holes a tinge. This isn't just the case with these gauges, it's quite common with most.

Gentlement place your orders...(just use Add To Cart below)

Add to cart

Feature Summary if you haven't already seen it in the announcement forum:

* 66mm gauge faces are larger than the competitions filling out a 3 gauge 60mm(they fit into a 60mm pod) pod very nicely. The extra 6mm size combined with the LOGO FREE clean face design Clarity gauges are famous for means easy at a glance reading like no others.
* Power on needle sweep very similiar to a Subaru Impreza WRX/STi with only the needle lit up on the initial single startup sweep, then the whole face lights up...cool.
* The latest generation of LED backlighting. Visibility is not washed away on sunny days unlike most "smoked" lens blackout gauges. Ultra's use the latest UltraBright(no I didn't make that name up ) LEDs that are 30% brighter easily cutting through the mild face tint on a sunny days.
* Power off the gauge faces leave a soft light grey silhouette very similiar to a stock WRX/STi cluster. This is different from a full smoked lens blackout gauge. These look more similar to how the STi cluster looks rather than like all of the existing "black out" style gauges on the market.
* Amber/Red backlight matching a Subaru Impreza WRX/STi and many other cars such as Mitsubishi EVO.
* User adjustable warning lamp. (lamp lights and needle flashes)
* Audible warning - can be turned on/off.
* External Warning Lamp Port - each gauge will interface with large external warning lamps(shift light type available in multiple colors). Two foot cable will allow lots of mount location possibilities. They won't have to be married to being right on top of the gauge.
* External Device Control Port - allows adding functions to the gauge, using the gauge face as a device control interface:
* Turbo Timer - intefaces with Boost gauge Control Port. Adds turbo timer function. Set run time using gauge face/needle. Requires use of wireless remote(included in all 3 gauge bundles).
* Aux. Radiator Fan Contorl - interfaces with water temp gauge and activates on water temp warning setting. Requires use of wireless remote(included in all 3 gauge bundles)
* Intercooler Water Spray Control - TBA
* 50 second datalog record/playback(playback on gauge face)
* Pressure gauges include calibration set function to "0" the psi level for given elevations ensuring the best accuracy. You can truly recalibrate Ultra series pressure gauges if the needle is not perfect on 0 psi.
* Peak value record and recall, reset.
* Aluminum housing to dissipate heat.
* The higheset quality sending unit available. All sending units accurate to within 1% max
* Oil Pressure sending units are super small allowing for direct fit to any galley plug tapped for 1/8" NPT....and we have those stocked.
* Highest quality wire harnesses with built in aluminum shielding.
* Daisy Chainable wiring for ease of intallation.
* 30 Day complete money back gaurantee including freight. There will be no dissappointments.
* Best off all - NO CONTROL BOXES to clutter your dash and NO BUTTONS on the gauge face cluttering the clean look. All functions are controlled by a multi-function wireless IR remote included in all 3 gauge bundles.

If you want answers to some common question check out the announcement forums here and on iwsti. I'm on vacation in about 5 minutes for the week.


What do they look like


What's in the box




There are lots of great gauges out there to choose. Ultra series Clarity gauges are the flagship of the brand and we've made sure that they trump every brand in combined quality, functionality, and style. The fact they are reasonably priced is simply a bonus.

The only freebie will be the wireless remote. Once we crunched the math there wasn't any more room for extra feebie's or free freight. Individual gauges prices are going to range from $145 to $249. The pre-order is going to save folks anywhere between $139 to $223(in the case of boost, egt, oil pressure) over the regular individual gauge prices.

Some stuff has changed. We've since updated the startup sequence to better match a STi's with the needle point lit up doing the sweep then the rest of the gauge face lighting up, we sped up the speed of the sweep as well. We also had a different needle pointer sourced to better match the factory cluster. Changes are all done and we green lighted production. EGT for shipment to use is Aug. 30th. Here is a sample of the opening needle sweep the way it will be for production gauges. I'll post some more pics shorty, still catching up on PMs and emails from over a week ago(when we were closed for vacation)

Do these gauges come in the green hue of a 2005 WRX? Or only the STI amber?

I guess I want to see these in a pod to see if they are right on top of one and other at 66mm.

So I guess no other choice than amber for the lighting color then.

i can tell you in person the fit of the 66mm together in a 3 gauge clock pod is nice.....these gauges looked awsome in pre-production form and rich always improves on them a TON from pre-production.....i had pre-production V2 Ti's before they were available and i tested them and loved them and was happy but Rich wasn't......he went the extra mile and made them better and the differences in colors was subtle but a night and day difference in color matching the gauges if you spent your time looking at stock vs pre-production vs production

these are meant to obviously be comparable and better than defi's and match the sti cluster even better, key words being "MATCH the STI cluster".....so amber would be the only option at this point.....although through rich's sources maybe he could do other backlighting color but the main focus is on matching the sti

What do you want to know?

Rich sent an email personally after I ordered my set to fill me on on the ETA of the gauges...I suspect he did the same to everyone else who pre-ordered.

They are just awaiting the final custom packaging...and some sets will be rushed so that people can have them for reviewing purposes faster.

ETA: 2-3 weeks.

Tried posting here last night but kept on timing out. Deal is the gauges will be done sometime next week. We're only planning on sending over 2-3 full sets for show and tell and some install documenting. Why only 2-3 sets? Because our packaging is not done yet, and I'm not going to send the full order in white boxes. I know the packaging means nothing to you guys but we've paid to have it designed and printed so we definately want to ship the order in our MadDad packaging. The packaging design has been lagging behind and it will set the shipment back till the end of the month.

I had a couple guys ask what the the Add-On devices look like and what do the exterenal warning lamps look like. The pic below is pre-production. The only thing that will change for production is the warning lamp. They body will be black rather than silver, and the wire that attaches to the gauge for the warning lamp will be 2+ feet long. Pre-Production was more like 2 inches. Having the longer connection wire means you'll be able to mount your external warning lamp considerably further away from the gauge itself. You'll need the longer length if you want to run a warning lamp from the apillar or clock pod position to close to the center of your dash in your line of sight...a 2 inch cable won't cut it, so we made a change to have those be much longer. You notice how the turbo timer has a connector that plugs right into the back of the gauge. The body of the turbo timer is flat and you can can mount it right to your firewall. We're going to have all this documented and it's why we're going to overnight a couple of sets so we can get that process done asap. It should help eliminate a lot of the install related questions.
