speedometer conversion

[sru]

older cars are equipped with cable type speedometers while newer ones are equipped with digital speedometers. main difference is that cable type is purely mechanical while the digital is a combination of mechanical & electronic. how can you convert ur speedometer from mechanical to an electronic one that can send pulses or data that can be translated to computer language? am planning to install a revspeed meter but the problem is that my speedo has to be electronic in order for the revspeed meter to work. i have heard of the brand haldatech but since its fia approved gadget, it would cost an arm & a leg. would there be another way around this?

It is to much work and not worth the time and money...just keep it how it is...

Hm. Well, it's possible, but I'd not have a clue how. The 2G runs through the ECU. You'd need some kind of counter/driver to tell the speedo where to stick the needle, so-to-speak. There's gotta be kits out there, but I'm not doing the search... maybe start at Summit?
