Thinking of getting a "monster tacho"....

[phat_levin]

coz i think that the ones with the blu glow look really kool even tho theyre a waste of time, how do you mount them onto your dash without $&#$% it up??

[Chickenman]

Maybe look into that contact adhesive?


I think you'll have to screw it down dude... you don't want it flying around when you is drifting.

[jacko]

mount it on the bonnet.

[Silent Knight]

mount it on the bonnet.

...or if you drill 2 holes on the bonnet just above the throttle bodies there should be a mounting pin just to the left of the throttle body sensor where you can mount the tach so that it is in nice view of you jst in front of the steering wheel.

Then you can just plug it into the G sensor next to your oil cap wich will give you an exact reading right through your whole rpm range

I'd go for the boot mount personally, wins more shows...

i remeber there was a honda (i think) at the four and rotors in chch bout 2 years back that had gauges on the boot facing forwards......

He owns a Honda. Explains everything

Monster tachos look stupid in a road car. I think it makes you look like a tryhard. Why not talk to your toyota dealer and see if there is something from TRD that will work?

If you like the blue glow, why not replace your dash backlights with blue ones?

do you drive a 20V by any chance?

[Mr Revhead]

20vs own!!!

$&#$% idiots...

Just drill two holes and screw it down, when you take it off you can hardly see the holes...

i was trying to avoid $&#$% my dash if thats ok with you, and yes i do drive a 20v....

[Silent Knight]

well then if you like pretty blue lights jst get a VVT light.

why do you want to put a monster tacho in there anyway?....you expecting any major power gains or do you jst want to 'attempt' to get the needle all the way to the 10/11 Grand side?

[Mr Revhead]

the stock ones fine for road use, i dont have any probs with it.

[CozmoNz]

this is what i dont get

the only cars that look fine, with tachs are starlets, or dx rollas, or *pick any car without a tach*

i mean, the one that came with the car wont be out, and if it is, it will be out by how much? 50-200rpmISH?

unless ur engine is gonna throw a hissy by you revving 50rpm higher, (which is uncontrable with full throttle in human terms anyway) - well, depends on gear obviously - you shouldnt be spending ur money on a tach .

hey, dont slap 20vs, some of us dont put big tachs and guages all over the show.

I wasn't calling you a $&#$% idiot, that was directed at all the unhelpful people in the thread.

Two holes will not $&#$% your dash, you will hardly notice...but up to you.

I have a monster tach in my Dx, but thats cause I need to know RPM for tuning carbs and shit...and it doesn't have one...and I got given one...it all fitted together.

[MrBeef]

sometimes i wish my car had a tacho.
