I like Rocket's install better only because it's not as out there as dw's. I need to keep a sleeper look becuase you get harassed big time here for anything modded on your car.

so when that light comes on everytime you get near red line thats ok for you?

I would hate that........of course i hit red line every time i drive but thats just me...... :rolleyes:

I can't use a monster tach because I'll be picked on. I want to get a small light, AutoMeter is going to release a stand alone light which is 1" in diameter with a small digi rpm read out in the middle. I want to mount it somewhere where I can see it when it lights but a cop can't easily see from outside the car.

I would rather wait for the digital gauge to come out with teck light before i mod my dash.

hey rocket_civic why did you install the tach a little slanted?

dw735
12-18-2002, 11:55 PM
yeah, I like the look of the pillar a lot, but since I can't see out of my left eye, the tach on the middle dash helps me a lot. I get to keep my good eye on the road, so I don't hit other fellow ep drivers;) . I don't get bashed here at all by the cops, I live in San Diego. Where do you guys all live? Oh yeah, when time comes for that supercharger, I will put some more gauges on the pillar to make sure everything is running smoothly. Does anyone else have any other gauges except tach?

oh yeah, there is a red button by the ignition if you can see, it lights up the lunar tach at night when i want it on. its there for right now because i dont have enough wire to put it anywhere else. the dash didnt need to be off for this install, its quite simple. see ya guys

What the hell is wrong with you guys, you already havea tach, and now you have 2? whats the point? easier to see? the stock one looks just fine and nice in my opinion. Mods are up to taste and opinion but something like this... I mean you have 2, doesn't it..... forget it.

I think MONSTER TACHS are ALL gay.

that is my own opinion, i dont know but i think it looks APC'ish and correct me if im wrong but are car comes with an RPM gauge stock right? Also unless your deaf you should be able to listen to your engine and by listening you will know when to shift get it?

im sorry im not trying to be a dick or anything i just think they look childish. why dont you get a new SPeedometer while your at it an extra extra big one like the mini has and place in on your stearing wheel that will help alot.

then get a big dildo and hang it from your rearview mirror.
j/k

anyways im sorry i havn't slept in 2 days so if this post is weird that is probly why, and please dont come back with some gay ass reply correcting all my spelling errors.

I agree 100% The car comes with a tach, why would you install such an unGodly pos irght in the middle of the dash and ruin the factory look? You want a shiftlight, get a standalon shiftligh or a small digital tach with a shiftlight and not something like that.

Wow the new Sis dont come with Tachs? Because thats the only reason I could see putting one in...but to each his own...I agree with an earlier post its called an Autometer Quick Lite. Its about $50 for the light and then $75 for the control box. It looks 10000x better then that wall clock looking thing...

id spend my money on a GTECH pro. isnt it like a low budget dyno/shiftlight etc?

i know that if i hear my engine, i know when to shift, but when you drag at the local strip, i am reaching for every bit of the rpms before redline. the stock tends to be off when the rpms get higher. if u guys think i use it for everyday regular driving, like going to the market or some sort, then i would never have gotten one. but growing up around dragstrips and all, you learn that it helps. buddy had the two stage light ones in his camaro. shaved off some time on his et.

This is my opinion, i love you guys.

1st. that Tach is kinda useless, you already have one.
2nd. You guys love Fast and the (gay) furious huh?
3rd. Tach are useless, did i say that already?

BUTTTT: IF you go to the Track or strip, a Monster Tach is never to small!!!! And it is very helpful, it keeps your eyes straight!

LAST: That was my opinon. And, i think tachs are to ricey in everyday normal cars (that dont go to the track). But i would rather see a tach on your car the LED pissers!!!!!!! OR Clear Tail lights.

But man, LED pissers are the worst!!!!!!

i hear ya trinispeed. they are gay looking, even though i have one. i would take it off, but its all wired up and all, taking it off and then on at the track would be a pain in the butt. sometimes i would cover my tach up with a rag, so it wouldnt be visible. it is ricey, but when i do use it on the track, it may seem ricey, but it helps me out. (at least in my opinion)
