    Are Autometer tach's a ricer mod???

    So I just installed my new Autometer Mini Monster Tach ( 3 3/8") and I thought what the hell I will put some pics on mnfbody.com to see what people think and I got a lot of thats looks like something a ricer would do etc. So I wrote back to some people saying well it's not like I did it in a stock form car, my car really needed a new one as when I got the car tuned the factory tach was around 500rpm off. But still people say nope looks like shit blah blah blah. Oh well I like it and it serves its purpose.

    So lets see what you all think. I can still see my MPH from around 35mph and up so its not really in the way of that. Reason for location is I didn't want to put a hole in the dash.

    Dan, I have one in my car as well. Personally do what you want with your car and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If I was spinning higher rpms (which I am) and my factory tach was off (which it is) I would want something that is more accurate to tell me whats going on with my rpm's.

        I think it looks fine and it serves a purpose. If it was one that was like 15" diameter and double backed taped to the dash and not wired in, That would be ricey

          The only thing I can't stand about aftermarket tachs, is that most of them are 10,000 rippums. Who the hell actually needs a 10k tach?

                what is jeremy sending you pictures or just telling you, as far as i knew you have never seen your ricer car in person..


                BTW your 3 foot wing is getting installed at clutchmen this weekend, and bob is doing the custom rattle can penis down the side of the car like you wanted free of charge.... i offered to build the "I EAT COCK" 3rd brake light cover but jeremey said that was a little over the top for your ride, that the penis was enough.

                      autometer isnt rice. autometer is good stuff.

                      but i dont see why there is any need for more than just a shift light.

                        It looks fine , I am not a big fan of any aftermarket tachs really, and my car will not have anything other then a shift light.

                        DO what you want regardless of what others think.

                          If it is functional, and more accurate than the stock one cool , but if you put it on to add horsepower... weak!!!

                              My stock tach was bouncing all over the place and not accurate at all. I installed an autometer monster tach and no accuracy problems.
