UltraGauge for $60??

[OTB]

So, I ran a Scangauge II for a year, and when I saw the info on the ultragauge (thanks to the original poster), I decided to sell the SCII for more money than my brand new UG.

SO.......I like it way better than Scangauge! It can display 6 gauges simultaneously and 3X that on the different gauge screens. I like the display, two of the six are in large font, larger than the scangauge can display. The color is a good blueish/grayscale with good automatic backlight (still user adjustable, but it seems good day and night, and compensates for ambient light conditions.)

I basically use it for water temp, rpm, intake air temp. For troubleshooting beyond "trouble codes" it does come in handy to use the other gauges.

You cannot use this as an instantaneous tach. Even with only two gauges turned on and all other alarms turned off, I tried to use an alarm as a "shift light." Not gonna happen. Way too much lag for a shift light. Maybe (big maybe) if all you did was drag race-you could find just the right lag (like 3200 rpm alarm) that would time things just right for a shift alarm, but for road course or autocross, no chance.

I personally don't really give two f___s about fuel economy/range/etc, so I can't comment on those functions, but it seems to certainly be capable of the same measurements that scangauge can do.

I just use tin snips to cut then bend an "L" out of an old license plate, velcroed the L to the steering column, and zip-tied the x-shaped bracket that holds the display to the vertical of the L. Works awesome, mounted it in 5 minutes.

I declare scangauge obsolete.
