If you swap the cluster for one with a tach, you will need all the wiring, fuses and relaysthat go along with it. You wont just be able to change it and have it work. </P>


You would rather have a tach than a speedo? You'd get tickets for speeding all the time.</P><edited><editID>ntxmotorsports</editID><editDate>38119.8661111111</editDate></edited>

thanks guys, i know when to shift. my other car is an 88 bmw m5. i know how to race it, but use the rpms as a guide. i normally dont speed on streets, just on track, but like rpms to measure revs and when to shift for most power. even though its a civic, not too much power, i like to have it. any aftermarket tachs that might fitin the cluster. ratherkeep thecar looking clean and stock.</P>


thanks for all the help.</P>
