I don't like those tacky aftermarket tachos. My favorite way to add a tacho is to swap in a gauge cluster with one, swapping your old speedo over to the new cluster to preserve your odometer. But I think joeyb649 don't need to do it since it's an LE which should already have a tacho.

Next is to tape a small strip of bright colored tape to the tacho face, at the scale near the RPM you like to shift at. When the needle goes past it, you shift.

1ZZ ignition is distributorless, and one coil pack serves two cylinders aka wasted spark.

joeyb649: Yes you have an OBD2 port below the coin drawer. That I-Moni thingy and Scangauge II are the next best thing. Hell SG2 even gets you gas mileage data.
