If anything, it's the speedometer that's the problem.

The speedo moves way too slow, and is too hard to read, under hard braking.

But it's really not that big of a deal.

 

I always found the tach a nice feature of the S2000. The sweeping motion made it easy to time and make for quick shifts. I never felt the need for a tach once I adjusted to the car. I felt that just the addition of the a counter sunk shift knob, keeping my clutch fluid cleaned, and keeping my transmission fluid clean that the S2000 was a complete joy to shift.

If your issue is accuracy then you may want to check it against the output of the OBD-II port. Drive at a steady speed and compare the RPM on the dash with the ECU.

 

[QUOTE=scottrunsxc,Aug 8 2007, 07:53 AM] Get a big neon glowing tach and put it on the dash along with at least 6 other gauges.

 

I really like the stock tach. It's easy as hell to read in your lower peripheral vision, it's large, it's bright, and it's not obtrusive.

I have no doubts about it's absolute accuracy - i mean, it IS a digital setup afterall with seemingly no lag.

The spedometer lag is intentional.. it would be really really annoying if it were to continuously flicker 32-33-34-33-32-33-32-33... every 10th of a second.

 

Just takes some time to get used to it --ie. a few hrs

 

I like the one we already have.

 

You can drill the dash and put in more gauges. It'll look similar to this:


Then finish your interior build with the exterior build:

 

Yea I'd kinda have to kill someone if it actually adjusted to ur actuall speed every time......

it would probably kill the battery faster too

 

+1. i miss the tach on my old ap1...it was stretched, so i could get it very close to the limiter without hitting it, but on the ap2...that limiter comes at you quick.

 

If you want to moniter the RPMs get the VAFC thats the only thing I liked about it when I had it. And you can even get a few HP form it . If you worried about your timing when shifting get a shiftlight or the modfry shift beeper thing (sorry forgot the name of it)

BTW Stock works fine for me
