People with after market Tachs...Please post pics.
 

I was planning on getting an aftermarket tachometer for my DX so i will know the RPM's. I was wondering if u guys with aftermarket tachs would post pics of your tachs and where all the good mounting places are. i want to see what different places i can mount a tach before i mount it somewhere and regret mounting it there. Thanks for all your posts.

why not just use the tach thats in the car? i think the only reason to get an aftermarket tach is if you go to the track. im not sure if thats what your plans are but wouldnt the stock tach be fine for a DD?

he has a DX

DX = no tach

oh sorry, didnt know... :hithead: never looked into the DX....
i feel dumb... :_ontome:

honestly... I have no idea why honda would release a car in a 5-speed with no tach... makes no sense.

here is a pic for you don't mind the the white thing that is next to the pillar it was paper to help hold up the tach

uhh if you dont mind me asking^^
why does ur cabin look smashed in?

Please get something like Boost posted. Those giant tachs are fcking retarded.

i had that same tach in the same position, it was good, cept it stopped working one day :hithead: . im now going to get an 01-02 lx/ex cluster and swap that in :sweet:

it might just be better to put in a 01-02 cluster, this way you dont have anything mounted, and you a stock lookin car... much cleaner that way...

I live in Orange County, California. Does anyone Know of any good places that would have a lot of 01-02 Lx/Ex Tachs in stock for sale?

ebay.com

where should i wire the red 12v ignition wire to my car's ignition, can i pick up an ignition wire or should i use a fuse.

I have a 01 EX and my friend has a 04 EX, man the 04-05 tach is small, i'll take my big 01 tach anyday, it's the size of the speedo. Theres nothing wrong with a autometer, nice and big and have a shift light, I can't even read the one you guys have.

any one out their know where i can hook up the 12v ignition wire to the car's ignition.

So do you have to run any wires with the 01-02 ex/lx cluster? Or is it just plug and play? I have a 05 dx 5spd. And i agree, they should have a damn tach....

dam took both of my car but i had a autometer 5 inch and a ractive 3 inch. Got tired of huge ass tachs especially when u dont need them. If anything just get a shift light with the pills and get the exact redline and go off of that.

you should have red black whit and green, Red is the power wire it has to be wired into the ignition, Buy a fuse and wire that in also, Get under dash and turn iginiton on with a test light start tuching wires when the test light comes on that means you have a wire the is connected to you're ignition, Now turn ignition off make sure test light goes off if so wire the red wire to the wire you know is good. Black is ground i grounded mine behing the winshield wiper resiviour. White dash lighting power, wired mine to the parking light's. Green tach test wire, This is to pick the rpm signal off the motor, The wire you need is by the battery is a little black bok connect green to that 1 wire and you're all done.

what are you talkin about... I have an 04 and its the same size as the speedo... :hithead:

aftermarket tachs = :_puke:

i agree with everyone on the conversion.....but do the 04-05 conversion.....WAY sweeter. :rockon:

my rsx conversion pwns all 04-05 conversions.

show pics,

aftermarket tachs = :tdown:

I sell you my Autometer Phantom 5" Tach.... $75 bucks I modded it so the shift light is "cobalt blue"

I wonder why people buy a 5" tach for a civic. chances are you have one built in. chances are you arent fast unless K20 swapped or turboed. even then a shift lite will do the trick cause after a week you should know it by ear.

^ they want to see their rpms twice!

haha but its not like having 400 rpm gagues makes you go faster in the real world... only in rice land to gauges and vinyl make speed
