Analog speedometer
Does anybody use the analog speedometer? I laughed when i realized it takes 90mph to get the analog needle not to point down. It sure would of been a good place to put a oil pressure gauge, or a cool G meter/lap timer.

Nope, I never look at it especially with the digital read out. I'm used to digital speedometers since the very beginning.

I set my digital readout to KPH. That way I have the analogue gauge if I want to see my speed in MPH.

I think on RHD Toyota 86 it would be useful placement as your eyes go in that direction, but not on LHD.

The tricky part is getting back used to an analog speedo in a car without a digital gauge...
