Auto Meter Monster Shift-Lite Tachometer Gauges 

DESCRIPTION

The popular Shift-Lite tachometer with Dial-In-Exactness is now available in the Phantom Series. It features the white face dial along with Auto Meter's trademarked Super Bezel design. An advanced air core meter movement provides accuracy and quick response on the 5 inch Monster face. Dial-In-Exactness uses the tach pointer to set the desired RPM shift point. The bright amber light signals when the shift point is reached for quick response shifting.

Strength:

Nice shift-lite, strong outer body, great large display

Weakness:

None that I can say, it hasn''t failed on me yet. If anything, I guess the instruction manual is poor. Also price of meter is a lil steep, but I''m sure if you do some shopping, you can find it for cheaper.

So far meter is performing great! No screw-ups yet.

Strength:

the light helps out alot and the numbers are pretty big ITS SO EASY TO INSTALL THAT MY 16 YEAR OLD BROTHER INSTALLED EVERY THING FROM MOUNTING TO WIRING TO FINDING WERE THE GREEN WIRE GOES dont spend 40 buck to install it in racing shopes

Weakness:

the worst quilities where that i couldnt find where the green wire attaches BUT IF THIS HELPS ANY BODY ON A GSR INTEGRA 97 WHERE THE DISTRIATOR CAR IS THATS WHERE THE SPARK PLUG WIRES START FROM THERES THESE WIRES RIGHT BY THOSE WIRES AND THEY COME OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DISTR.. CAP THE GREEN WIRE GOES ON THE BLUE WIRE DONT GET CONFUSED BY THE BLACK THICK ONE ITS THE THIN BLUE ONE RIGHT NEXT TO IT TRUST ME...THIS WOULD OF HELPED ME INSTALLED MINE IF I READ THIS

I rate this a 5 because its easier to shift and the way i installed it or my little brother installed it was that he put it in the vent to the left of the steering wheel so we done have to see the brace all the way.

Strength:

It is easy to set and the light is really bright. Without it I would lose races by bouncing off of my rev limiter. It makes drag racing a lot easier, and it looks good when set up properly.

Weakness:

Cops mess with you when they see it. I'm the only one I know who hasn't gotten a ticket for mine yet (knock on wood). The lense in the shift light melted and got all deformed from my car sitting outside in the heat.

I got it for $100 through some hook-ups. I've never had problems except for the lense. It is a good investment if you plan on doing some drag racing, but if you are not then your money is best spent elsewhere.

Model Reviewed: 1998 Honda Civic EX

Strength:

-Big, easy to read
-Looks nice, built sturdy
-Very accurate

Weakness:

-Mine crapped out on me after about a year and a half for no reason. -The tach and shift lite still work but the internal backlights don't come on anymore. I checked all bulbs and they are OK, so it must be something inside that is fried.
-Install instructions were weak

-Pretty large, not something you can easily conceal for theft reasons. Cops dont like them either, Im told, as they automatically think that you are a street racer. Pretty reliable and accurate, except for the minor problem I had.

Strength:

Looks nice, clean install no drilling into the dashboard. Very useful when
I race people because it reminds me when to shift without looking at my RPM's.

Weakness:

My dad says its big and ugly! LOL ( Thanks dad )
Attracts the attention of cops and other racers.

Pretty nice product, worth it if you are in the car racing business.

Strength:

BIG SIZE & SHIFT LIGHT!

Weakness:

AUTOMETER TACH'S ARE HORRIBLE!. I AM ON MY THIRD 5" TACH W/SHIFTLIGHT. THE FIRST ONE DIDN'T POWER UP. THE 2ND ONE'S RPM NEEDLE WAS BOUNCING AROUND. THE THIRD ONE SO FAR IS OK.

DON'T BUY IT! QUALITY CONTROL SUCKS!
