I wouldn't mind a taco with a shift light for my car. But I don't want a massive 5" job and an 11 graqnd scale is pretty pointless seeings I'm limited at 7.5.

iv got nothing against monster tachos, i dont mind them. even with a stock tacho already in the dash cluster i would prefer one because it would be more precise and wouldnt have to worry about the stock one sticking. and the shift light seems a good idea when your music drowns out your engine and cant always look at the tacho when to change gears (eg. going around corners or looking for traffic). i wouldnt mind the AutoMeter C2 series tacho (my avatar).

But WHY do you need to know when to shift in an auto? Also, if your music is drowning out your engine, then you are breaking the law here in Vic. We have the most relaxed doof doof laws in the country, will defiantly look forward to having more strict rules for loud music.

They are pretty pointless on an auto commo. The only time you should be up shifitng manually is dragging, and most people won't have the stereo in the car let alone on at a drag meet.

I have a tacho in my car. not monster, not stock either. ive fount it very useful on a number of occaisions. i know when the box is slipping, (cant always hear it) it was useful when the speedo stopped working as i know roughly what it should be cruising at etc etc.
Used the car on the track once and found it useful then.

and guess what? its an auto.
So for those people who continually open their fat mouths because they dont understand, go look up some porno or something more appealing.

That is bearable, it isnt a monster tacho and they usually arent taking up 1/3 of the corner windscreen. I have no prob at all with aftermarket gauges, i just dont understand why you need a 5 inch plate telling you what your revs are.

Anyways just a question, why do you need a tacho to tell you your gbox is slipping? Isn't it obvious enough with out? As for the track, i used my tach once when we had the rev limiter bypassed, otherwise i just use sound, you should know by sound how far your car will rev...guess some people cant hey
