Broken Speedo??

Today, as i was driving, my speedometer was making a little squeeking noise. Then, about an hour later it got stuck! I stopped the car, and it 'unfroze itself'. Now, it is totally busted. Stuck at zero. Did my cable break?? If so, where to i check to see what happened. Also, if it is my cable, is this a hard thing to install? Thanks guys!

I highly doubt you could beat a heavliy modified Civic with your v6. NOS is very is to gain speed. Throw in a Turbo. Did this guy show you his engine because I highly doubt he was modified. I hate ricers as much as the next guy but if they actually have engine work and not just the fart pipe and stickers then they can smoke us.

Yeah, i think i will replace it... now, what the hell is wrong with 85camaro. You think i am a ***** in disguise. Hey, that civic wooped me by like 10 cars buddy. The guy who owns it is an 'aquaintance' of mine. His car produces 414hp at the wheels. So, yeah, he whipped me, and he would kill you also.
