Fat 5 inch Tach...Rice or not
 

I was considering getting a that fat tach for my 7. I was just wondering what yu guys would think bout the rice factor

What's wrong with the one you've got?

True - the stock one is big enough :)

Rice, fer sure

RICE!!!

If you're a RICER and you know it...Clap your hand!! :bigthumb:


Don't do it..the stock one does the job nicely!

you guys need to seriously stop making fun of Crashunit.
That's not very nice :(

Yeah. 5" Tach=RICE!!!
The stock tach is good. The furthest I would go is put a shitf light on it if you really need it. But don't think thats necessary.

Yup. Looks like Unc'a Ben's. Smells like Unc'a Ben's. Must be...RICE!!:D
Don't really see the need for a shift light, unless you've cut out the overrev buzzer...

Sorry.. but the only cars I've EVER seen carry around 5"+ tachs are CRX's and old Civic hatchbacks.. Unless you're doing it for serious track duty.. I'd say the stock one is more than sufficient..

What is with all of these damn rice or not poll?!?!?!?
IF YOU HAVE TO ASK IT IS!!!

Rice Rice baby da da da da da

uncle bens

Unless you need it because of your redline is really above what the gauge can display, it is a true ricer mod

what everyone else said. it looks ridiculous and is unnecessary unless it is a drag car, even then all you would need is a shift light.

If you have a tach stock then yes it is rice to get another one. If you don't, then by all means get one.

it really depends on if its hooked up or not. If it is, no it is not rice. Especially if it has a shift light (try drifting around a corner and keeping hte car at high revs. Its very easy to rev past 9k especially in the lower gears! God I wish FD's had an adjustable revlimiter which would spark cut instead of fuel cut!)
The shift light will let you know what rpm your at. When flying around a corner, your usually paying more attention to how much your countersteering, how close you are to the sidewalk/cliff or what ever other obstical your trying to get around at the current moment. Its also nice to have a easy to read tach which is a bit higher then usual (you dont gotta keep looking down!).

its rice, the stock tach is big enough

Get it... if you intend to mount it in the stock gagues' position.

well i would go for it b/c it looks good and its rice but do what u want its ur car

i love how the tach is right in the middle in plain view. just unique styling and functionality

It is not a rice mod if it serves a purpose.

Mazda designed the stock tach to be in the center position of the guage cluster on the 3rd gen for the clearest view. There is no reason to get another one unless the original one isn't working....
