| So today i got my new car. yay. Its a 2000 Honda Civic CX. Has some basic stuff like apexi ws2 exhaust, skunk2 coilovers (but with eibach shocks), DX headers, short shifter, Rota rims, and a rear sway bar. Has some problems as well, has a rattle when not driving at a steady speed, the paint job was cheap and it flakes, and the hatch wont stay open According to the guy i bought it from, the rattle is probably from the sway bar, so ill be messing with that soon. It has about 98000 miles on it as well. It doesnt have a tachometer, so ill be getting one. Any ideas on that?    | |

| Welcome nice civic. You might be able to get a gage cluster from the junk yard with a tach on it. | |
