hey guys right now i have a cluster of gauge just sitting beside my a pillar i have a 3 1/2 tach stuck to the dash with two sided tape...a boost gauge taped down with electrical tape and a oil pressure gauge wedged in between them lol it needs to be cleaned up ...im going to put the the gauges in a a pillar pod and im getting the autometer 5 inch tach but i absolutely do not want to drill any holes does any one have a special way to do it??????

 

buy a tach pod from autometer it fits a tach and 2 guages

i think there only around 60-70 dollars

edit- only for 92-95 civics

I mounted mine on the pillar,mine does not sit close to the glass at all it sits really close to the steering wheel but works perfect.I do not know if i would recommend that pod cause you drill into the dash to mount it or i guess you could use body tape but i wouldn't use it.

 

that pod clips onto the ac vent, i'm selling one if you're interested, $40 shipped pm me

 

well i dont want to use that ac pod thing i dont like the look of it and how it wouldnt be in my peripheral vision .......maybe some zipties and 2 sided tape???

zipties ??? .....cheezy .....ok if you like it done mickeymouse

 

bump

 

so theres no other way then drilling into it eh????

 

Why does it need to be in your direct line of sight? Isn't that the reason it has an obnoxiously bright shift light on it?

 

Congrats, you've vetoed the only reasonable option you have.

Better break out the fiberglass.

 

i personally love the dash pod cause i got one also but if you don't like that you can get the radio block off thing and cut it out for you gauges but i don't know what your gonna do with the tach

 

well ive really thought about it and i realized since i need a tach in my car and my cluster doesnt have one im gonna keep that tach there forever so i wont really see the holes...

Or you could do something really super uber jdm rare and cool ....

like buying an EX cluster.

 

yeah i was gonna do that from the beginning to make it look more clean but then i realized that that tach is supposedly off by +/- 400 rpms and also it doesnt have a shift lite which i want when i go to the drag strip.

Why the hell would a Honda factory tachometer with a Honda factory motor be off by 400RPMs .... but Autometer is spot on?

 

i dont know i was reading that somewhere and they compared the two and the real reading was the autometer one......really it doesnt matter

Apparently.

Just a shame to see someone who can't figure out how to shift on their own.

 

umm actually i learned how to drive stick on my own with no tachometer for two years but i wanna shift where my powerband ends, if you can tell me EXACTLY what rpm im at when driving then u might as well come in my car and do it...jesus your the reason H-T gets a bad name....

good call man up kid and drill the dang hole.

 

couldent you just use an ex/si gague cluster then buy a shift light and put that some where then buy a radio blockoff plate then put the two other gagaues in there like someon else mentioned

 

big tachs are gay.

get a EX/SI cluster. ALOT cleaner.
