What it is:
Allows any Auto Meter standard ignition Tachometer or Digital Pro-Shift System gauge, tube, or controller module to be used on Distributorless Ignitions.
Where to get it:
I'd be thinking Summit Racing. If you happen to find it advertised somewhere lower, they will beat the price too.

i got a 2000, i dont think it came with one cause where it didnt have a stock RPM gauge in the cluster, which is funny, ever auto on the road has a RPM gauge, but the manuals dont lol.. But you never know, it may have the same computers all around and be programmed to run a tach, but just not have one in the cluster..

Ive saw posts where ppl say thers a specific wire on the plugs that go into the computer that will make it read correctly, and saw somwhere that you can take it to a shop and have it calibrated.. but iono, id hate to have to pay 80bucks for a driver... im still looking for better deals tho.

yeah $80 does suck for it. but if its gotta be done the correct way.


umm if all ur wanting is a rpm gauge. im pretty sure u can swap out gauge clusters with one that has a rpm gauge and it should work


thanks on the car comment.
i try to keep it looking the best.rite now my fronts off and im working on the bumper since its cracked and what not.

no lie ur like the second person this week to say that they want to get the evo front cause they saw it on my car and like it. now only get a evo kit or bodykit if u have thee money to paint it ur car color and or entire car. mine looks nice because my car is custom painted blue.but what looks good on my car might not on someone elses. like i have z3 fenders too. and ive seen the evo front without z3 fenders and i personally think it looks to plain.

but if u do get a evo kit go for the urethane one not the fiberglass one wich is what i have cause man it sits too low and cracks on every hit on the ground.
