tach installation
i just purchase a tach for my car and i will be installing it to my 5th gen dx. since this model doesn't have a tach coming out of the factory i was wondering if u need something else to bolt it on cause a friend of mine told me that i need some kinda adaptor for it or something? the tach is from mg performance and it comes with 3 wires if u guys have info on installing this i'll greatly appreciate it, thanks

It was on a 94 civic. Ran Red and White wires to a mini ATO Add a fuse I bought at wal mart, used the reverse back up lights circuit on the fuse panel, grounded under the dash, then ran the green wire through a small gromet behind the gas pedal, to under the hood, right to the front right corner of the car, up by the windshield, there is a bunch of wiring harness and plugs there. There should be a black plug taped to the oter harness, just take it off, and cut the wire (it will be blue with a silver dot on it) and wire the green to it.

from my personal experince...just break the radio then you don't need a tach to drive stick just listen to the engine and you'll know when to shift... as for me a bought a 5" monster tach with a shift light from Auto gage the bloody thing has 9 wires on the back of it ...some fun this is going to be hooking it up...
