is your crx really that loud... that you can't hear the engine to shift... or does the engine really rev that fast that you need a light to tell you when

I don't see how you can use the factory tach anyways. Those things are so inaccurate. I bought a "monster tach " YEARS AGO thinking I needed it in my DX since it didn't have a factory one. I rarely looked at it. It was mounted down low so it wasn't a windshield banner. I just listened to the motor or watched the speedo. When I hit 35, shift, when I hit 60, shift, when I hit 90, shift, when I hit 110, shift, when I hit the damned speed limiter, slow down. (DX gears suck)

Your right Doc.Stock tachs are verry inacurate.when my Fields shows 5100 rpm the tach shows 6k rpm.the spedo is also off by like 5 miles or so.
