I installed my Apexi tach a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to post a pic. A video too, if I figure out how to do it ;)
I don't necessarily need a tach, but the price was good and I needed to dispose of a Visa Gift Card that was giving me headaches. So, I bought the used tach from Garm. THANKS GARM (great packaging, super speedy shipping!)

And here are my temp wheels. Temp, because I'm "borrowing" them from my CRX. I hadn't intended to use these wheels til I got my CRX painted (not anytime soon), but my friend wanted to do a canyon run and there's no way in hell I was going to roll on the stock steelies! The canyon run was the other reason for the tach install. Don't want to redline the engine. D'OH.
The wheels are 15x6.5 Racing Hart CPO-35s. They are super light (sub 9lbs). Tires are Kumho's ASTs. Those tires came with the wheels. Let me tell you, running these wheels made a nice difference with acceleration. Passing on the freeways is easier as well. The one thing I don't like, is that the overall diameter is a tad smaller than stock. No biggie.

I do intend to lower the car eventually, but I'm still trying to decide my overall goals for the car so I don't make the wrong choice.
