    Anybody hook up a tach in their 3rd gen Accord?

    Alright.. I'm reading the instructions and it's saying to hook up the ground from my ignition coil but when I look at the ignition I see two ground wires . Well they're both black with a stripe on it but one is thicker than the other.

    The question is which do I hook it to?

    Also, does anyone know what pulse our car uses?

    The pulse comes from the blue wire on the coil.

    But I think that the stock tach does the job mor than enough, especially on a stock engine.

    I use to have a tach, but I had help with it. Took us about an hour to complete the install.

    Mr89AccordLXI,

    Sorry for this being so off topic, but do you know how much each one of you Niche rims weighs? I have found some really nice looking ones on eBay, that seem to look like they weigh less than normal Chrome rims...

    Again, sorry for being so off topic.

    No a PM is not necessary. I'm not sure how much they weigh, to be honest. I will find out though, I'm curious myself.
