Yup. Looks like Unc'a Ben's. Smells like Unc'a Ben's. Must be...RICE!!
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..

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!).

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....
