i wrecked my 86 lx and i'm glad, i only paid 900 for it and got 1800 out of it, hahaha, thank god for old people
update: car blew 3/24/03 hope to have new engine in by around april 1
Before you think of permanently putting it there, think about stereo work and all the crap. Just an advice.

why do people put aftermarket tachs in cars that already have them? i could see if you were seriously racing any you needed one and had your shift light tuned at the optimum points and stuff, but you're not. i'd rather spend my money on something that will actually make it go faster.
anyway, why not take your stock tach out of the cluster and put it in there? it would be behind glass and not sticking out of somewhere crazy.

Who says we don't seriously race? Shit I do. I race for pride!

I don't understand it either. There's not really a point for the shift lights anyways, you just need to get used to listening to your car's engine. And why the hell do all these automatic cars have giant tachs with shift lights???Originally posted by Grant2k

i have the 5 inch tach in my civic ... but a tach didnt come stock with the car ... damn dx ...

you should put a 00 si cluster in your civic, its a direct fit and you dint have to run any wires, the si cluster is sooo hot but they are going for about $200 about now, its to bad, i would have made you a deal for mine but i sold it todayOriginally posted by Neuspeed87lx

si accord, were the pics man,
one thing for the people who posted asking why we need shift lights, BECAUSE WE DO!! damn why even post if you gonna be dumb about it. thats why we have little aftermarket suport, cuz fags always saying shit is ricey and stuff, who cares???
:super:
im auto and had a tach at one time, never hooked it up tho, it was for show, if u think its ricey blow me
also Si Accord isnt auto.
Sorry dude, I guess I'm gonna have to blow you 'cause that's just plain "RICE'!Originally posted by Mantis88LX

Dude, settle down. No one ever said Si Accord had an auto, we were just trying to understand the point of adding it to an auto. As for looks, I just don't think adding on a giant tach looks very nice, but that's my opinion. Now in Neuspeed87lx's case, I could understand why you would add one, but if you already have a tach, why spend like $200 on a huge guage that does nothing special? And yes, I do think those giant tachs are ricey, but that's not always bad! I think strobes are rice, but that's not going to keep me from liking them!Originally posted by Mantis88LX

the tach i had i got on ebay for $20 something dollars, it was one of the $99 + ones. later sold it for like $50 to a friend.
sorry for getting pissed but everyone i know talks about rice this rice that, i think its a little gay and people need to stfu and mind there own buisness if they dont like what someone else has did to there car. after all it is there car and they are the ones who drive it.

i have never used the word "rice" to describe a car so why doesn't everybody just calm down. i am just looking at everything from a stricly funtional standpoint. i didn't say that you should take you tachs out or anything. if you like it, good for you. i personally don't but that shouldn't mean anything to you. i'm just stating my opinion like you are stating yours. chill.
