Why wouldn't you just add the external gauges and not get the big useless tach? I'm sure you can get some type of gauge-mount solution that would work. A-pilar gauge pods are available for every car under the sun.

Seriously.


Maybe not a Ractive tach, but, an auxillary tach is often more accurate than an OEM cluster tach...

I *seriously* doubt that engine has the ability to rev fast enough to lag the stock tach. Perhaps if he had a LW flywheel, but come on...

well, I'm just letting you know a pilar pod looks better than any other gauge placement ive seen, its just such an ideal place for them...

I bet the Ractive one is worse than that...

Anyhow it's a moot point. I dislike monster tachs so I'm a little biased on the subject.

92_mazda_mx-3 pay no attention to the 'haters'.
Think of it as preemptive needs fulfillment for when you get the KLZE.
