Any way to mod the speedo MPH reading?
 
This may be more for the "electronics" forum, but all they talk about is the POS Bespoke. Is there any way to mod the speedo to change it's speed display? It's the most useless indicator in the car, by far. I mostly use the tach, or the digital speedo on the highway. I'd like to mod the speedo so that 60MP is 12 o'clock on the dial. Don't care about changing the face. Possible?

It's possible, but your going to need a new gauge face plate.

You would have to modify the internal workings of the cluster for this to happen, just modifying the speed signal would make both the analog and digital gauge display the wrong speed.

IMO, just ignore it, the digital display works great.

I do. Like I said, the tach is my primary speed indicator.

You obviously don't get it. If you put the needle at the 12 o' clock position, it'll be sitting at 140-150mph.

just put another guage in front of it?

I agree with you that it's useless but I have to ask, why do you want two speedometers? The digital is so easy that it's the only one I use.

it would be cool to replace it with an oil pressure gauge or something.
