With a mech gauge, you get accuracy and live readout. i.e., on an electric water temp gauge, you could be hooning along the stuart hwy at 250km/h in your SC'd VY GTS, and pop a radiator hose. Unfortunately, the electric gauge will very slowly increase the temp readout, which aint much good if theres no coolant! The downside is that mech oil and fuel gauges suck when they explode in cabin, or over the windscreen! Deep fry your balls at high speed!

thats what i have always thought but what about what Aaron said? I guess electrical wouldnt give an accurate reading till its either too late or you cars on fire. So its kind of a 6 of one and half a dozen of the other situation isn't it?

With putting the gauges on the outside i think it might be illegal. But then again running the gauge (oil, water, Fuel) through the cabin is also illegal for obvious reasons.
And also gauges on the outside are also dangerous. Going 100 then the oil splatters out all over your front window. It will look like a scene from james bond.

not to mention it would kind of be gay and also not to mention ruin that nice huge bonnet soarers are partly known for. But when it comes down to it i guess its personal preference isn't it.

Had a Damn HOT VL turbo that ran high 11's. Moster mods, Also had Guages on Bonnet. Car got ripped off after 4 weeks, and neva seen it again. Lost 12k and lots interest in cars(and im a massive nut,always was) for almost 5 yrs!
too easy for peoples to rip em off anyways. would be nothing worse than starting your car and oil or fuel shooting over •• windscreen.

guages on the external mounting of the vehicle is not illegal mounting guages on the internal of a vehicle is how ever. Go figure hey even if they are electrical or wat not. But i guess thats the law lol..
