would this look ok?

How about you just diagnose the problem with the tach?

It's either the SI board or the speed sensor wiring is funky. It beats the hell out of screwing with retrofitting the tach or attaching it to the dash or A pillar. Stop creating work. It's like replacing an engine instead of replacing spark plugs.

but we like the work!

if we didnt like the work do you think i would be driving what i drive? i dont think so. i would have given up a long time ago.

If you like doing work, then do it the right way. Getting a new tach is a fuckin cop-out dude.

that is always a possibility.

If you can't afford to fix the tach, then you can't afford to own a car.

worst thread ever. :blowup:

coming from mr. swooshy sideskirts

I'm not sure I see your point...

Tri-spokes or twisties? Let's let the masses decide.

And fyi, your reading skills are no better than anyone elses here, otherwise you'd know my twisties are a thing of the past.

I do not have a problem with a car with a stock ride height, but if you're going to be getting 317hp (oh, my bad...) 318hp out of that thing you'll really want to do some suspension work. Hence my comment about your monster truck...

Tri-spokes.

Tri-spokes.

Good thing I got rid of them and bought those tri-spoke wheels, huh? ;)

[craig4ie]

hmmm

you seem to like putting free shit on your car. what will happen when someone gives you a "powered by honda" window sticker?

The link seems to be down now.

I don't know what the tach looks like, but In my head all I can picture is a huge 10" rice guage.

I also don't know why people feel the need to replace the stock tach when they can't even max out what they got (I did read you were going to 8k, just wanted to input that)

I don't care how many RPM's I needed to read I don't think I would ever put in a top dash mount tach.

If you actually are going to hit 8k then I guess you do need something more adequate. If this were my car I would just hunt an e30 m3 tach down (or the whole cluster) Nothing beats OE, just swap the tach thing (Can't think of the term for that white plug) over.

Just my two cents.

Why does everyone give these two bobo's the time of day?

[euroshark]

oh Euroshark PWN3GE lol

lol, not quite...

I'm probably not the first to say this, but why would you want a TURBO M10 to rev to 8k? Oh right, because it's a gutless turbo M10...

Get a turbo M30, you will make more power per dollar, pump less boost (by a lot) and it will all happen under 5500rpm. There are some dyno sheets on mye28 right now showing 12psi pushing 315rwp and 345rw ft/lbs. You might come close to the horsepower, but it will be at 25psi and driving it will be unpleasant.

Or stick to your turbo m10, rev it out to 8k, make 300rwp and 180ft'lbs of torque... It's cool, it will be fast, but it won't be "Holy fuckin shit this is fast" fast.

Mike, none of this is aimed at you, well... not most of it, I like you

But Mr. Deagle needs to read some fucking books so he realizes that a turbo M10 is NOT the shit.

high five.

[Mr Deagle]

I ended up using the cluster from my 318i with my 325e coding plug, and a 150 mph speedo, so now i have a working tach
