Digital speedometer in base GT86?

Anyone know if this is possible or has seen a work around? The base model GT is quite hard to read and a digital one would be quite nice

I am so confused. You don't have a digital speedo?

In Australia, the 86 GT only has the analogue speedo. Some people have found it hard to read, but I personally have no problems with it. You should know your speed by revs and feel alone.

It's pretty much the same, without the small LCD screen in the middle of the REV to show your current speed:

Can't really find a pic, not many people want to show it, haha.
