Default Add an RPM tachometer

Hi,

I have a 99 Honda Civic SE (that's the case model in Canada). It has a D series engine, 16v sohc, non-vtec. The car didn't come with an RPM tach. I would like to add one, since my other car has a tach, and I'm used to driving with one. Can anyone recommend a basic model, and perhaps a mod shop in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

Thanks.

Could always get a gauge holder that goes on your pillar and get a small tach for that.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Are you able to recommend any tach manufacturers? As well, I searched the forums for any threads dealing with installing a tach, but couldn't find one. Do most tachs come with installation/wiring instructions?

Thanks.

I can't recommend any, but most come with instructions. I haven't bought any gauges in years.....Stewart used to be a hot seller, don't know if they're still out there.

Equus (What I got and love), or Autometer. Both can easily be found on Ebay and Autometer is at Autozone if you have those in Canada.
