Ive got a very simple question that im sure has a very simple answer to it... Excuse me for being dumb but, my speedo in my car only goes to 85MPH, if i put in a gauge inlay kit with lets say a 145MPH speedo, this should accurately tell me my speed after 85MPH??

To be more specific, heres the kit im looking at.....

Please and thank you as always..

 

your speed would be way off. the gauge face doesnt determine how the needle moves. if you want a speedo that goes over 85mph, youll havta replace the whole gauge.

 

Just as i thought.. I couldnt see how placing a new inlay would change how the speedo actually works.. If none of the mechanical parts change, nothing changes how the needle moves.

Thank you for the info!!

 

i had a set of those white gauge faces when i had my stock gauges. they were back lit with blue leds instead of the stock bulbs. they looked great but stock gauges are still stock gauges.

 

I see.. Thanks for the info. I think im going to go to the junkyard and find me a 140 speedo or something cause i do believe my car might see speeds in excess of 85MPH every now and then.
