Why would you install another tacho?:confused:

[aaronng]

Mine came with one too. Did you search inside the box?

[.QD]

Man another tacho is going to make the car heavier. You should have spent your money on NOS stickers.

...sorry obivously messin around. hehe. :p


I would have thought just tap into the existing tacho wiring would be the way to go?

[power_of_dreams]

interesting..

[enkay]

Isn't that where the airbag is, cop a tacho in the face with an airbag, lol

[BiLL|z0r]

On the Lux and sport it is, Std has no airbag there.
Wouldn't be better to put a sat nav or phone handfree there rather than a ricey tacho considering it already has a very clear and readable tacho.
If you're after a shift light I think I recall people adding them to the existing tacho rather than adding another.

ive installed external shift light...

i think ive used it twice since installing :(

lol only done it for the bling factor lol

lol buh its not ricey:o

each to their own...

i have a lux so i have curtain air bags on the a pillar and i have the BT car kit up there.

it's like installing a tacho/shift light in an auto... why? so you know when your car is changing gears?

[tron07]

why a tacho?? put some engine temp or preasure meters...

[felixd]

Maybe install the tacho inside the engine bay where you can show off to people instead you put it where ur dash is cuz u already got one it will looks guud in the engine bay area too :)

[Type R Positive]

Hmmm. Installing tacho on euro does seem strange.

[aaronng]

It's like a guy going in for surgery to get a 3rd leg implanted...... Oh wait.......

[tron07]

Maybe he want to mod to rev it to 10k and need a higher rev meter?

[felixd]

ROFL LOL :cool:

[.QD]

I can't believe this thread is still going!!Tacho on a Euro?Noooooooo.:thumbdwn:

[hooyn]

lol buh its not ricey:o

lol not rice ?!?!?!?

[Type R Positive]

lol not rice ?!?!?!?
That is 25kg bag of rice!!! :p

[ndeuro_]

lol then i dont know why people go buy a new stereo system n stick it in their car when they already have one. pfft.

[Type R Positive]

Don't mind us.

I'd personally would like a set of those changing colour gauges on the dash. I got a mate that has them in his S3 RX7 (with matching tacho) and they are cool! :cool:

[Crapdaz]

bling *tacho* Vs sound quality *aft HU*

can't compare, but yeh imo would look a bit too much unless you've boosted your euro.

Extra features? eg: 7" screen, mp3, dvd, xvid/divx playback and gps? :)

[Type R Positive]

I think he was trying to justify his tacho.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
