i bought a 5" monster tach with a external shift light. anyone know the best spot to put it? (please show pics) also i would like any tips on install like how to run the wires.

 

Here are some pics of how I mounted mine. Very easy and convenient to see.

 

well since we are on the topic of 5 inch monster tachs with shiftlights.... anyone want to buy one... reply if you want info

 

I want one, how much?

 

Here's mine, mounted directly on the A-Pillar and doesn't block my view at all.

 

Chris89GTA, name a price. Ive been looking for one since I just put one in that belongs to a friend of mine. when he wants it back, I want one to fill its spot.

 

i'm trying to sell it for a friend of mine... he is looking to get $115 for the tach... it is a 5" tach with shiftlight from autometer... it came with the yellow lens and cap... but he switched it to a red lense and cap before he took it off... it was only on his car for about a week, so its basically new!

reply here or you can email me at
sheron336@hotmail.com with offers or questions...
just put in tach for the subject...

 

Brand new in summit they're only $99.

 

true... i just looked and saw that... that is just what he told me he was looking for... $100 it is then...

 

I'm going to be mounting mine under the vents in the center, i think it looks awesome, i know that someone has pics of it mounted that way because i have seen them before, but i just dont have any on hand to post

 

I'll try and take and post a pic of it tonight, but thats where I mounted the one I've got at, right under the vents in the middle of the dash. It looks sweet there, its turned perfectly, visibility is great, and from the front half of the car you cant even tell its got one.

 

I completely re-did my whole dash panel and installed a 5 inch tach and speedo. If any of ya want pictures e-mail me and i'll send em to ya. Cause i have no way of posting them on here, unless someone will host them and post them on here for me!!!!!!

 

heres where i mounted mine. mine was $213.00 but i was picky and had to have the sliver one (hey i had to match)

as for hooking it up its as easy as a stero

ground = any metal ground
red= i think thats the power when the cars truned on so any fuse thats hot when the key is on
white = thats for the light i just put it on the headlight fuse
green= hooks to the dis. where it says tach

and thats all i do belive

 

heres another one and yes the dash is clean and has the dash mat back on it and the cd player is in these are old i can take the finished ones tommarow if you like

 

Use some double sided tape and move it around. Decide where it looks the best and where it doesn't get in your way. Just a suggestion, but all the pictures look really nice. I like mark sheilds setup.

 

whoops

 

and here's how it is now

 

this is how it was originally

 

whats the point in having 2 tacs??

 

The stock tac is not as accurate as one of the monster tac's. Especially if you changed your engine or somethin.

 

Exactly, they've been known to be off as much as 300-400 rpms.

 

So what u are saying is, an aftermarket tack is more accurate than the stock one is? i guess that i will put one in than when i get my 4th gen interior, consol, dash, gauges, ect.

 

Yes, all of our instrument gauges in these cars aren't the most accurate. And half the time they don't even work, I know when I got my car the oil pressure didn't work, and later the temp stopped working.

 

Yah, they are more accurate, plus the gauges really look good mounted in the car. On the pillar under the vents, wherevery you choose to put them. Personally I have my oil pressure and my water temp mounted underneith my center vents. I think it looks really good. Gives your car that, hey this is definately not stock look.:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

 

ok, that totally made up my mind than, do u have any pics of 2 gauges mounted under the vents? I was going to do a complete 4th gen dash conversion but i actually like our dash. I want to do custom gauge setup, with speedo in the middle, and fuel and oil pressure on the sides, Aftermarket tack in the middle, and an A-pilar pod that will hold my nitrous, turbo, and whatever else i need, and , did anyone ever put any in the dash before, i think it might look cool, if u have, please show, thanks

 

Gee, wish I had money for a turbo.

 

I wont be able to get the picture of the gauges under the vents util this weekend. But I don't figure you plan on doing it before this right. I just got to wait for my brother to come over with his digital camera. Try to post it on Saturday.

 

wtf?? I guess webphotos insnt a free image host anymore

 

Well here's my set-up, go ahead and bow to me!!!!!

 

Slush92RS thats bad *** and here you go :hail: :sillylol:

what speedo is that and how had was it to get thoose gauges in there? did you have to rip out all the org. stuff that held the org. gauges back there or what????

please if you could give some insite for us iam thinking about doing that too.

 

Here's another shot from the door area, it is kinda dark. It took some time to fab. the plate those guages are in. I used the Autometer Pro-Comp 5 inch Speedo with the mechanical speedo cable. The oil pressure guage is tapped to the top of the back of the block. The other three guages in the center are all electrically wired. Gee i glad Zach told me i could pull these pics off of my disc, cause i got mad crazy pics of my car!!!!!!

 

John Rock! Is that applying to me??? What just cause I don't have a picture of my gauges. That's BS. I just don't have a digital camera yet. wtf!!!! I guess when I post these pictures this weekend youll feel like an ***. If I dont have a digital camera, how the hell can I get them onto the net. Unless you have a scanner of couse, which I dont. Really rude of you to call bs before you even give me a chance to post them. If you are not applying that to me and you are just calling on webshots then my bad. I am sorry. Just the way it is worded it sounded like you were saying I could post them on webshots and I really didn't have the setup. Please clarify and tell me whether you were calling bs on me, or if webshots stopped hosting pics and you were calling bs on them. Like I said if your calling bs on webshots then my bad I just read it the wrong way.:rockon: :rockon:

 

Slush 92 rs Those are some bad *** looking guages. Do you have any pics of the steps along as you built them. Those are really original. You rock man, you could make some money off those skills.:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

 

Thanks man, i did it all myself. I had en electrician friend of mine walk through the Chilton's manual so i could get some wiring figured out after that i tore it up!!!! It wasn't hard just time consuming. I would love to do mods like that for $$$$. I love working on my third gen. I really can't wait to start modding my 4th Gen

 

you just tell me how much for you to make that palsitc pice just like yours and i might but one

 

What plastic piece?? The piece that the speedo, tach, and oil press. guage are in? That my friend is sheetmetal, and it wasn't fun to cut out at all It really sucked cutting those holes for those.

 

Its a good thing slushie had that big speedo cause i swear it read 140 last time i rode in his car right slush? Well im off to install my converter

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Finaly someone has it done. I have been looking for pics of a 91-92 dash with those gauges. I have my complete set of Ultra Lites sitting in the garage, screaming for attention. I have my factory cluster out, and sold. I was unsure if the 5" speedo, and 5" tach would fit at all. There is even room for my fuel level in-between. Slush, you have been an inspiration.

Thanks,

 

1st gen racer here is the picture of the water and oil pressure guages you asked for. Hope this helps you out a little. I know it doesn't really compare to slush, but hey I think they look pretty bad ***.

 

here is a door shot

 

another shot

 

Nice Gauges people! Wish I had some autometer gauges But I have been traumatized by a gear driven to electic speedo change. Now I'm afraid to touch it. Every time I do it steels from my wallet. 150.00 for someone to put in a electric vss in that doesnt work stupid so# of @ $#*## should have #@*$*# wtf........ Oh krap I'm just rambling dont mind me.

 

Geezus ****ing Christ, you really think that 15 second "screamer" of yours needs a 5" monster tach? How about you spend that money on something more useful... like some paint or a clue.

 

well maybe he wanted the tach frist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why dont you just go spend your time somewhere useful and stop worry about what he does to his car????????????


and how fast is yours?????????????????

 

Don't worry about this Ghey guy, won't be long before he's banned.
oh, and mine was a gift, personally I would have picked something smaller, but oh well.

 

Here's mine, getting white gauge faces for the factory gauges soon!

 

my speedo doesnt work lol i think mines worse
