Default Trying to get Omori to no avail!?

I just recieved this email from http://www.omori-na.com

I am trying to get my hands on the stock red light white needle 60mm gauge and am having a hell of a time finding one. I believe the model number is ECO 2172. Anyone know of an online retailer still selling this gauge?

Thanks!!

Christan

Thank you for your email.

Please be advised at this time that Omori Meter North America has unexpectedly ceased operations for the time being. Our manufacturer in Japan has been unable to fulfill its contractual obligations to us, leaving us with little to no inventory of gauges and parts to provide our North American customer base with an appropriate level of service. At this time, new Omori Meter products will no longer be available in North America until the situation can be rectified. Currently, we are taking legal action on behalf of ourselves and our customers to restore distribution and provide the service you deserve.

If you are a current customer in need of service, we regret to inform you we will be unable to provide you assistance at this time. Since the manufacturer is unable to or simply refuses to supply us with replacement gauges and parts, we have no way of providing you warranty service. This is beyond our control, and we sincerely apologize. Please understand that Omori Meter Mfg, Co., Ltd, in Japan is solely responsible for the current situation we face, and that we have been left with no support from them just as you, our paying customers and distributors, have.

Default Tell me what you want for it

I guess it is really up to you.... If you are parting with it because it is broken then maybe a buck... Would you be able to salvage most of the pieces, electrical, hoses, etc?

Email me with your price and info!


Thanks

Default I have been trying to get one for a long time as well...

No luck. Definitely can't find a local supplier in Canada.

Default i want a defi gauge....

because it would match my A4 interior better. i'll think about it and get back to you.
i could part with all the proper hoses and include a custom center vent pod if you'd like. the gauge is in perfect working order. nothing is wrong with it.

Default They only have a few available

02/03 Subaru WRX (Yellow Needle, Black Face and Green Backlighting)

04 Subaru WRX ( Red Needle, Black Face and Green Backlighting)

04 STi Look (Red Needle, Black Face and Red Backlighting)


Preferably the gauge would be red backlighting with a white needle. I will call them and see if they have that guage in stock.
