Speedo dial Kits

[ghostjd]

Does anyone know where to get a speedo dial kit for the FD, it has to have the speed displayed in KPH and MPH. it currently has it reading in mph and goes upto 180mph

Apparently in NI you need to have both KPH and MPH displayed in your car for MOT and my cars going in in a couple of weeks.

They look pretty cool, i brought a similar kit from the US also on ebay. The kit i got wasn`t a cluster set of dials but some hideous stick-on stuff that was litturely glued to the old dial face. Needless to say after that the needles didn`t work properly especially the speedo and rev dials. Once i saw an indicated 176mph at only 2000rpm! I must admit tho it did look good glowing in the dark. After a few weeks my rev needle fell off and i couldn`t be arsed fooling people that i owned a 180mph car so i found a second hand cluster set of dials which funnaly enough had pretty much the same milage as before. Next time i`ll get some proper 300kmh or 180+mph clocks.

i have that kit.  fit is dead on and it came with a switch to change the brightness and the colour lol.  easy to fit and i wired it into the pop up button on the right of the cowl.  i only use mine for mot and removed them after.  

i tried the white sticker over the kph method but the mot fella in ards was havin none of it lol.

only problem is if you take it out i am pretty sure my speedo needle is wrong and dont know if its fixable or ive knackered it

any1 know where u can get stock dials for less than £5,000,000?
 
i\'m still puttin up with this tbh **** aftermarket facia for my speedo that doesnt match the other stock ones.. nobody wants to sell an speedo instrument cluster facia on its own and its doin my frickin head in...plus.. i dont like the plasma glow ones cos they wont match my boost gauge which i bought to match stock dials AARRRRRGGHHHHHH *head explodes*

I had the same prob - was told by Rotechniks that it\'s knackered - the tiny stepper motor behind the needle is too weak/sensitive, or something like that...

anyway - I went back to original black dials - looks loads better (with my new looking dash) than the whiteface crud...

sounds like it may be knackered then not good as ive got the white faced mazdaspeed gauges.  the needle was sitting at 20kph at standstill lol, but i pushed it back and it stayed, now it rises as i speed up, but no clue if its accurate and as i decelerate the needle falls very slow, so no way is it right lol.  in NI we have to have kph/mph as ghostjd said so didnt have a choice really  
gonna have a look and see what sort of money is in a uk cluster/speedo and just get my mileage programmed into it.
