Using tacho`s, Let`s see your setup?

Using tachometers Slapped on your dashboard? mounted? built into the A/C panel (A/C removed)? Let`s see how u placed your tachos and other gauges inside your car?




Picture is not my car, Someone from the same Mazda Club as me owns it

Got a big ol autometer tach hidden in my glove box and the shift light mounted on the dash right above the speedo, my stock tach is off by 500, and i didnt want a humongous gauge on my dash, now all i have to do is pop the glove box when i need to do any tuning.

Why would you need ANOTHER tachometer? Mazda placed this one in the center of the dash for a reason...

EX-*******-ACTLY! If you need to spin higher, just add a shift light, and mount it behind the left/center vent.

...although....when I went Haltech in my FC, the tacho no workie, so I removed the cluster and stock tach, and mounted a Monster in its place, behind the plastic and all...

Exactly what parts of a tacho looks or reminds u guys of taco except the name? The plastic texture? The Black colour? The lights? The circle shape?

What the **** is Taco Bell serving over there? Black circle shaped plastic tasting lit up tacos?

Did you not read? I couldnt afford a new cluster and had the gauge, i didnt want to have to hook and unhook every time i needed it. Just because they put one in there doesnt mean they expected it to last twenty years, 5hi7 breaks when it gets old.

In my coupe I have a small digital tach with shift light mounted on the a-pillar, but no pictures right now. I really wanted it for the shift light, it just lights up the whole inside of the car when its time to shift. The gauge holder was already on the a-pillar so I also figured why not use it.


it looks like this
