Tach in the LX

Man, I don't know. But, why would the redline be different in the Ex than the Lx? I know the Ex is V-TEC and all, but would this increase the redline even tho the engine is basically the same? Or does the increased compression in the Ex result in a higher redline?

are you asking this just for the sole purpose of the indiglo gauges? bc if so my main question is, are you really that concerned about the redline being off .2 or less? i dont know about most people, but i go by the engine, not the tach as to when to shift anyways, i wouldnt even care if there wasnt a tach, i mean its nice to have dont get me wrong, but i dont know if i would be so concerned about such a small difference in your decision to purchase or not purchase the gauges. so i guess my bottom line here is, buy the gauges, it'll look nicer, and no one is going to question you as to why your redline is wrong (if it is in fact wrong, never payed much attention to that detail)

We (the coupes) have a higher redline than the sedans. Also the sedans have those plain black gauges while the coupes have the better looking one.

the coupes don't have different redlines. the coupes have the same exact engine the sedan has. however, i think you're right about the gauge color.

mine is a '02 EX sedan and i have the silver/grey gauges w/ the hybrid chrome rings(but i put those in myself). Anyway, I think the guage color is a '01/'02 thing or LX/EX thing.

Just curious, what would the DX redline be. There is no tach on the DX but would it also be at 6750?

No, the light up white. It's more of an off-white though. But not green.
