any1 got pictures of a rpm tacho fitted in a vr i need to work out the best spot to put it. any help will be appreciated :thumbsup:

I'd fit it to where the original one was, this way you can have an aftermarket one in there that amazingly does the same job!!

Not defending him or anything (because VR V6 auto's with aftermarket rev tacho's are beyond rediculous), but i'd say there's a 99% chance his VR V6 doesn't have a rev gauge. Pretty sure most of the (providing they are Execs) just have a stage 1 cluster. Being a fuel and temp gauge with a speedo.

So if its an auto v6, why do you need one?? I'd suggest just fitting a shift light.

Exactly^^^^

I'd suggest learning where the shift point is by ear and feel so you can manual shift it. No need for a shift light either. It's piss easy to learn when to shift. You can hear it.

When I had a VR, it already had an RPM guage. Why would you need to bolt on an aftermarket one?

Really? I drove an Executive VR and a Calais VR and I'm sure both had RPM. Either way, its an auto and kind of pointless anyway.

Mate good for you doing what YOU want to do

You could always cut out you coin holder/speed alert and flush mount it in there I have an ipod dock mounted there atm looks the part i think
