    I'm planning to get a 5" tachometer with shift light for my 2002 Honda Civic...
    I actually don't know what it's purpose is and if it is that necesaary in my car pero ang porma kasi ng sasakyan pag may ganun... mukhang racer talaga. How much ba cheapest and saan meron nun? Monster and Autometer are the 2 most populars brands I've checked sa net. Help me out naman. Do i need a tach for my car or should I spend it in something more improtant? Naka-sound setup narin kc ako.. gsto ko lang pagandahin interio ko... Thanks mga masters!!!

    You don't need a tach. The stock tach is good enough. A big tach is more for show than anything else. Spend your money elsewhere.

    that fact that you don't even know what a tachometer is for....means that you don't really need it (ke merun stock tachometer or not ang oto mo, you wouldn't feel the difference of having one or not).

    spend you cash elsewhere.... those tach ran around P2000 to 5000 depending on brand... why not spend that same money for an exterior/interior detailing sa Big Bert's... malamang mas maaapreciate mo pa.

    besides having monster tach wouldn't increase the power of your ride... you will only get indisent invites from raceboys' for a race.... that you probably will not win at all (yet).

    For regular street driving you don't need it. Unless you want to look like the other posers out there that are all show and no go. Everyone here knows the type the ones with the coffee can exhaust that sound like "syento bente, syento takbo ng tambutso pero bente takbo ng kotse".

    If meron na stock ang civic mo, di mo na kailangan pa niyan. Not unles resing resing ka. Wag ka na dumagdag sa mga riceboys.

    actually, a racing tach does have a purpose. it will allow you to set the shift points and rev your engine higher than your stock unit. for everyday drving pwede i set ng mababa ang rev limit pra makatipid sa gas. autometer starts at around 2500 depende sa model. yng monster tach is around 4-5k...if ur not going racing, you can do without it. bilhan mo n lng ng pedals, shift knob and boot, indiglo gauges...tpos headers and air intake filter....suggestion lng po : )
