Anyone else feel the need to get rid of the 85 mph speedo?
Hey, I just got my third gen, and I don't usually go over 85, but theres something about that speedometer that just bugs me. I am sure a lot of people have probably swapped out for a higher one. How can I do this, would the odometer be affected, and how much would it all cost? Thanks a lot guys.

I don't like it... but its kinda amusing at the track... going accross the lights, and seeing the KMH needle pointing to 5 MPH 
(I have the split speedo in my '83)

I'll just follow my friend in his Mk IV Supra and see what the car will do 
"Really, Officer? I was doing in excess of 100? Gosh! I swear I couldn't have been doing more than 85!"

Just got one fromone of our member's 60$ I have not put it in yet but the dash and cluster are out waiting to install this weekend . I have a manual cabel and from what I understand it should not be a problem . It was very easy to take apart but I have a chilton's book , get one I help's me 17.99 and just follow the step's . Make sure you get a speedo that will work in your car no fierbird or six banger's not sure about the six but there tac's will not work .
