Cheapo Tach
 

I have an automatic (*shudders*) 93' DX Coupe.. it has no tach, and i was at walmart last week and saw a cheap tach that has adjustable redline up to like 8500.. it was only like 28$ and wasn't offensivly large and ugly. How hard would it be to install something like that? A easy under-one-hour-one-man job?

took me 15 min

i have the exact model

How do you install it out of curiosity.. what does it hook up to?

red goes to switched +12v on the fuse panel

blk goes to ground on the chasis

the white can be tied in with the +12v as well, that just means the light will stay on as long as the car is on

or you can tap into your driving lights

green is tach wire, there is a small blue wire under the hood by the firewall on the drivers side, you can tap into that for a tach signal

I'd help you do it .... not hard

the only hard part is finding the wires

well for me it was b/c i didnt know which ones they were.. there were tons

but its straight forward for me now b/c i've done it..

loudsubz, good thing I didn't post before you did :D I may have hurt some feeligs. j/k :p

now why u gone done something like that there yall :p

its pretty small, suits my needs :D cant afford to buy a new cluster now so this has got to do :D

now you done did it :D

yeah... there is NO right way to mod a car. We mod it to suit OUR needs, not what some JDM purist may conceive as the perfect car :rolleyes: Actually, that's why I was banned from jdmcivic.com :p

so is it any good? or is it complete crap?

its good that it reads your rpms for you :D

its small, not obtrusive and sort of blends in nicely if you get the black

theres no shift light on it if thats what your wondering

well.. my interiour is beige.. and its an auto.. so shift light doesn't matter.

Exact same car as you, 93 dx, but mine has grey int. and its manual.
i like the style of that gen 2 door the best for some reason
