Niagara,
I was pulling out my gauge faces to swap them out, and I marked the resting position of the needles, so I popped it off, swapped my gauges and now my speedometer is all messed up and my RPM gauge is fine. I knew there was a problem when I put my cluster back in, started my car, and my speedo read 80 km/h and I wasn't even moving. I popped the gauge off and put it back on at zero, but it's still like 10 km/h off. Is there anyone of resting it or anythiong like that. I'm all out of options. Let me know your suggestions. Thanks guys!
 
i'm not sure if theres any technical way of fixing this, but iwould just find someone i knew with an accurate gauge, drive beside them down the highway them going exactly 100 kmh with the cruise set and see how much it needs to be adjusted. dont know if it would work but its worth a try
 
ya no problem man haha just trying to pass on what small knowledge and guesswork i may have :cool: :laser:
 
yea, basically like he said, do that once, and mark down the RPM, MPH, and gear, so you dont have to do running around beside your buddy after each adjustment.

I had a 1g that happend like that, and i never did get it right, i got it close and gave up.
