Count the Tacho's!

Have spent approx. $38k on the car + mods

Imagine what else you could buy for $38K

that

a) looks better
b) performs better

EVO, GTO, RX7 Batty,200SX, Skyline the mind boggles.

can't see the listing but I assume this is the one with the 'custom wide body kit' that looks like a Knight Rider knockoff gone bad...really bad

Why not? Is there a "this is how you have to modify your car" handbook?

Sure its not my cup of tea, but that doesnt mean its right or wrong. The owner has clearly done it for a reason & probably good valid reasons to them.

i say good on him / her for not doing what everyone else expects of them or expects them to follow.

Nah. Hes a poof. The cars a poof. And anyone that likes it is a poof too

Q: Any particular reason for 2 monster tachos?
A: To be different. 1st tacho set to 3000 revs, 2nd tacho set to 5000 revs. Cheers.

The first mistake of car modification IMO- Doing modifications just to be different. Be different if you must, but also make sure stuff is actually going to make a positive difference to car (i.e. significantly better than standard). I mean, there is a perfectly good tacho sitting right in front of you...why install two others which require more effort to view to get the same information?
