[hofficergrover]

[hofficergrover]

i have a question on the swap do i have to swap the speedo mechanism?
just swap just the part of the face? also the needle could i just swap the needle so it will hit the 140mph?

I got a speedo on the way form a member on clubprotege.

You will need to use the needle from the Protege spedo for some reason (at least On Mine the shafts for the needle were not the same size) You will need to use the gears as well - on mine I simply dissassembled the Odometer assembly and removed the bracket for the button because I didnt want to modify the cluster that much.

I could get a TON of these at my local junk yard if people are interested.

im interested..does it work with the stock festy instrument panel?

[hofficergrover]

Yes it does just if yours is the white lettering you have to trim the plastic to fit the speedo end, but if it is orange you shouldn't have to mod the plastic. You have to get a custom face plate or some how mate the two together. That is what i am doing. There is only one in the jy i go to.

I could send you one at cost if you need one. Do I need to pull the whole cluster or just the speedo??

[hofficergrover]

I got one on the way if you were talking to me since you quoted me.
So i really don't need one. You just need to get the speedo mechanism and the face plate for it along with the needle.

It's Easier to pull the whole cluster - easier to ship just teh guage and faceplate

festiva tunner what is the steering wheel from?

[Festiva_tunner]

Thats a RX-7 Deep Set Drifting Wheel - I've pulled the fake leather off and removed the left over adhesive though. The onlt issue I have with it because I'm so tall I dont see the numbers 60-80 with out looking under the wheel. Its noticeably smaller than the stock wheel but I love it.

[hofficergrover]

Ok.....how much smaller would you say? I like the smaller ones as it is.
Thanks
