So on Wednesday, I went over to Works (which took 2 hours) to get my newly acquired Defi BF amber gauges. I also bought the ATI ePod sterring columb gauge mount, which is pretty awesome I must say. It's a little steep, $150 shipped, but the quality looks great and matches the stock plastic perfectly. You can also pivot the gauges any which way.

Oh yeah, decided to pick up a P2 while I was there too. :lol: There's been enough reviews on it, but I'll just say it's everything everyone says it is.

If you want some day pictures of the ATI ePod, let me know.

Questions: For those of you who have the Defi BF's, how can you set the Warn Function indefinitely? It seems to reset everytime I turn off the car. Also, How do you toggle your Night and Day mode? Mine toggle seems to be the AM/FM radio button. :lol:

the BF guages doesn't reset itself, Tap ur wires to another power supply line, it should cure it

Make sure you have it tapped to constant power.

yeah, i tapped mines at the constant power from ECU. i forget which pin# but u can go to www.roadraceengineering.com and they should have a printable copy of the ecu pins layout.

Problem solved.

The Defi Control Unit's Red and Orange wires were mixed up with the 12v constant power and the switched power coming from the radio.

FYI: Red with black stripe = 12v Constant power on the radio (there seem to be much discussion on evolutionm.net as to which it was, but that seems like it is the definitive answer.)

Thanks for all your help guys.

The way my gauges are positioned now, I can't see beyond 120mph on my speedometer and I can't see below 3k rpms. Who goes past 120 and if you're at a track event, who shifts below 3k rpms? :P

If I tilt the gauges all the way to the "outside", the boost gauge fits "inside" the speedometer and I can't see past 110mph. The tachometer is completely visible at all rpm ranges, but the EGT gauge covers the gas.

Great positioning if you ask me.

So did you pay WORKS to install them and they installed them wrong?
