What do you need a tach for on a beater?

I’m just trying to save you a few bucks. The only reason you _need_ a tach is if you are running it right to redline before shifting. Otherwise, if you have enough power to run in the next gear, shift.

Besides, if you wanted to be super sweet, you’d swap in an Si cluster that has a tach on it already.

2nd, just get an Si cluster, that’s what I’m doing in my race car, I don’t need a huge tach with shift light and all that crap for a 70hp race car. Just make sure it’s a 90 or 91 cluster, an earlier one won’t work.
