Yes my car is a vt, of course it has a stocko tacho. I also have a mate with a monster tacho in a vt that proves that the stocko tacho is out by about 400rpm.

How so, when the Tacho is wired into the same wiring of the factoy dash tacho?

Thought of on the other side of the gear selector, or under steering wheel?

The VT's i've seen have never been out by anywhere near 400rpm! I think that might have something to do with a dodgy cluster! That person should get it looked at by an auto electrician.

What are the legalities of them? can they be up on the dash like that or what

Not sure about legalities when they're mounted to the pillar, but when mounted to the dash, no part of the gauge can be higher than the highest part of the dash pad so as not to restrict any sight lines.

i guess no one read the if you don't like monster tachos don't post.....

Yes my car is a vt, of course it has a stocko tacho. I also have a mate with a monster tacho in a vt that proves that the stocko tacho is out by about 400rpm.

ALSO. not all tachos got to like 13k. there are some that goto 9k that i have seen. But as i have said, im not buying one untill i know there is a good spot, if there isnt i wont buy one..

and finally, i have a pod on the pillar with my volt metre in it, i have no use for any other gauges.

Why dont you re read your first post?You didnt ask if we didnt like monster tachos just tachos.
I like tachos but the monster ones are stupid in cars that dont need them.I dont have a monster tacho in my car,come to think of it i dont have a chute or wheelie bars either.
Best place for a monster tacho?In a car that needs one,or eBay.:yeah:

Ever thought your mates monster tacho is out 400rpm?

Best place for a monster tacho is on a monster...

At the end of the day... your getting a monster tacho for the shift light rigth? because thats the only benefit of one...

So why don't you just get shift lights?

I had some Raptor shift lights imported from the USA... they are designed to go on motor bikes so are night and small and they don't run on a pill so you can adjust them as you like.

I had 2 just above the dash on my a-pillar.

Did the job...

wow... i can't believe people picked out that i didn't say "monster" tacho. But somehow i think its in the tittle, so you should have known what the topic was about before you posted in this thread....

On a side note. Can you hook a shift light too a stock vt cluster?
