    how do I get a tach

    I have a 91 protege that I just bought, I love it, I just want top know if there is a dash that will swap in with a tach in it? or is there an aftermarket one everyone goes with, There is no LX or DX on the back of my car so I don't know what it is?

    You should be able to swap in a lx cluster. As far as what all needs to be done, Im not sure. As far as I know, its pretty straight forward.

      you need to remove the dash trim. pull the cluster out and undo the connections in the back of the cluster, and it will pop out. it is a stright swap in for the cluster with the tach.
      When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

            you could install an aftermarket tach if you want. might look a bit obnoxious, but thats your call.

              you could roll back the "new" cluster to your cars mileage

                    Speaking of gauge clusters....I went to the junkyard to find one and i pulled out a perfect one. The car it came from was a black dx auto, so it had the dx tach and i ripped it out and went to pay for it but i had no cash...So i ended up going today but being horribly disappointed as the junkyard is closed on sundays
