Yea whenever you take off your needles you gotta recalibrate them. The best way to get it accurate is to find a really open stretch of road, and you and your buddy go driving side by side, at the same speed. Then manually take off the needle and place it at the speed you guys are driving. Hows all your other gauges? For fuel, fill up with a full tank and give it time to re-adjust, then put the needle at full. For temp, wait for your car to warm up and put the needle at what it usually is at. Etc, etc, etc.

yea all my other ones worked but it is just my speedomoter. i learned it was off by 15 mph, so i can just take it off then move the niddle. right

Yea but I would still test it out anyway like I described, you don't want to be going 60 when you think your going 40 and you see blue lights flashing...
