hi, sorry if this a stupid question but what do those oversized aftermarket tach's do? i know most cars come with tach's already so why do people install aftermarket ones? is there any performance reason or is it just a cosmetic thing?
thanks

 

Civic DX's don't

 

The original purpose was for race cars that only come with the guages you put in them.

On a street car, ideally, they are larger and easier to read for drag racing and getting optimum shifts. They generally read more accurately than OEM tachs too.

But these days, they are mostly rice...

 

HONDA = Hold On Not Done Accelerating... "I think.. Man I wish I had a tach!" -Any Given DX driver who doesn't know how to rice yet.

 

My friend Brad has a 4 cylinder auto Mazda MX-6 (that I beat with 4 people in the car) and he's getting a 5-inch tach. with a shift light. Did I mention he also has a 9 inch tall aluminum wing and white rims/graphics.
Sorry, I don't have a picture of Rice... Someone help me out...

 

 

he's getting a tach for his AUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't link pictures from your computer. You have to upload them somewhere and link them. Check the Test Forum for more details.
