u guys gotta bare with me here, im kinda new... but since my 95 cx didn't come with a tach in the dash i was planning on buying one seperate. im not wanting a new console or anything,(in the future maybe) but i just want a 3.5 or 5 inch tach. and i was wondering if it could be wired to my car, and if so, what brand of tachometer would u suggest..
Thanx in advance.

 

if your going the external tach route.....yes they can be wired up really easily. Auto Meter is the usual tach that people get

 

thanx, fifth gear

Autometer makes nice tachs, Many different styles and sizes to choose from.........

 

for the price you'd pay on a tech you might be able to buy a si/ex cluster. if you want just a tach then autometer is the way to go.

 

what size would u go for? 5 inch maybe? and if so how much do they run from and where abouts could i get one other then ebay =P

 

the 5" tachs are around 100-200 dollars. the one that i allmost got was the Phantom series, black housing with white face ($199.99) but i got a GSR cluster insted

 

if uve been into ur local pepboys..ull see that theyve got a 3 1/2 inch SunPro..cheap and dependable..Sun s been around forever..very decent products without the hoopla...there was a time when a Sun tach was in just about every street machine

 

You should just do the EX/SI like broke1 said unless you can overrev the stock cluster. Then go the big a ss tach route.

 

Get the si/ex cluster unless you like holes in your car. But somepeople like big *** tach's sitting on top of their dash, and holes, and wires, painted vents... It's up to you man. I suggest the new cluster, check my sig.

 

I agree w/ Plan B on this one. Get the gauge cluster from a 92-95 Civic EX/Si. Easy plug in and go install. The you don't have the weight of the 5" tach hanging from your pillar. Plus the gauge cluster should only run around $100-$125. Foind mine for $80.
