The price is $450.

Some information - http://www.rbmotoring.com/store/vteceng.html

Its a gage - one 60 mm analog gage . I would prefer one round gage to a square box...

Yeah and I would rather pay 200 for a VAFC instead of 450 for some ugly ass guage that can't monitor half as much as the VAFC.

Personally I like the guage - is it worth $450? No way in hell...

EDIT: Clearly someone doesnt know how to work a calculator.

45,000 yen / 116 = about $390


Thats a whole $60 you save :finger:

The yen is variable. 45,000 yen would be the cost in Japan - then you still have shipping.

Most places just take 2 zeros off the end and call that the US retail price.

$1 US = 118 / 119 Yen depending on the day


And yes there is shipping, but guess what? Thats suggested sale price... Just like a car audio amp may have an MSRP of $500, but it sells for $350.


If you can get a few people interested ill hook up a group buy.
