Tacos

[thedeadwalk]

I'm i the only one that thinks that it is stupid to have a taco with a shift light in a auto
every where i go lately people seem to have them

sorry if you guys have done this be for but there always good to giggle like a school girl at

[Philthy]

It makes heaps more sense to have a big taco in an auto than a manual.




Have you ever tried eating some late-night mexican and changing gears at the same time? It just gets messy and you spend the rest of the night cleaning salsa out of the seats

[HoldenOnn]

I agree with you in low powered cars with standard autos, but in full manualised autos in quick cars, then they are worth every cent and I wouldn't be without a shiftlight.

I would much rather watch the road and wait for a bright orange flash from my shiftlight to warn to change rather than glancing down at the tacho in my 500hp VL Berlina Turbo.

On the street my car does 0-100km/h in mid 4 seconds. Adding to the fact that wheelspin is easily engaged, well im happy I have my shiftlight to advise that redline is reached and time to change. The revs climb that quick that I would rather watch the road and not the dash.

On the dragstrip my car does 0-100km/h in low to mid 3 seconds. Try looking where your going and getting the change at the exact revs required without a shiftlight.

I have mine for functionality and not w#nk factor.

My tacho is a memory playback tacho. I can see exactly at what revs I changed gears and I can revise the light to illuminate earlier or later and this can be done at different revs for each gear. Its a fantastic instrument.

OM NOM NOM!





LOL But seriously I think shiftlights are acceptable if your auto has a stage 3 shiftkit etc....

Monster tacho's on the other hand im not a big fan of because most cars that have them have one thats in perfect working order on the dash... (most)

[Jesterarts]

Ok, first up, a taco is somethng you eat at Taco Bills, a TACHO is a guage that indicates engine RPM.

Right, next...

I really don't understand the reeason behind them, if it's a drag car, then you just need to know when to shift, so a shiftlight will do.

If its a street car, you don't need to shift just before redline so you don't need a tacho.

SO that leave the only reason to have it is because it looks 'fully sick'... and if that's what floats your boat sure go for it, but don't you want it for any other reason.

Oh, also illegal to have them mounted above the dash line.

[STEALTHY™]

90% of cars come with a tacho the same size as a monster tacho anyway.

Pure wank factor. Its the way i gauge a persons personality if i'm just meeting them. Monster tacho...yep, tosser.

And before anyone claims they 'need' them to know when to change gears, learn to drive, then you can change gears by feel/sound

[Philthy]

I learnt to drive in a car without a tacho. If you can't shift by engine sound/feel (on the street) then maybe you need to rethink your license.

Obviously drag cars are a different kettle of fish

[Cobez]

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! That's one of the best ones of those photo things i have ever seen.

I personally would put a burrito on my bonnet without a shift light. Can be defectable due to vision restriction when the mince and salad hits the windscreen.

Come on man, clearly 90% of the cars on the road are top fuelers. I saw 15 in the work carpark just the other day

in my 500hp VL Berlina Turbo.

Are you contractually obligated to mention your "500hp VL Berlina Turbo" in all of your posts?

[thedeadwalk]

look i can understand in some cars but i'm talking about these little rice warmers (not powerful enough to cook rice let alone burn it) like today an auto suzuki with a monster tacho that was worth more than the car i mean come on plz mate you ain't doing the quater in 10h let alone 10sec

[fuzzy2308]

i had one coz it was fun to watch and made drivein more interesting looking at a red light when i hit 5k rpm

No, a monster tacho has no more a place on a dihatsu than it does a brand new HSV.

[excalibur]

i opened up this thread to talk about mexican food very dissapointed

[Kal123]

I prefer Burritos to be honest and Fajitas.

[Philthy]

Burritos are always win. And easier to eat to boot

[TVR-190]

but tachos are like a corn chip, burriotoes are just bread

[Kal123]

My favorite lately would be the Old El Paso Crispy chicken fajitas.. My girlfriend doesn't like Corn Chips, so we aren't allowed Taco's often.. lol.

[nathan549]

i don't get it, almost every car already has a tacho, if you want a shift light then go buy a shift light. don't buy the massive ugly tachos that make you look like a ********

[nathan549]

hahaha thats a good one. only thing wrong with it is, you can't pronounce words when your typing them

[STEALTHY™]

hahaha thats a good one. only thing wrong with it is, you can't pronounce words when your typing them

The picture doesn't just refer to people on forums, also those people who literally say 'taco' when in the maccas carpark talking about their sweet as ride

[nathan549]

^ oh yeh true. lol hahaha :P
