    Hi everyone, I rember hearing about this but never where i could find one to get hooked up. so if anyone know's that would be great.

    wonder if you could just add a digital readout to the bottom of the current speedo? for the 180+ speed's

    If you really need a speedo that......>>

    reads higher then 180, and anyone who does motor sport will tell you they do, then the easiest way is to find someone wreaking a locally delivered NA and get the dash from it. For memory they go to 240 and should be plenty for most drivers on most circuits.

    Motorsport needing a speedo?

    Its not a really a need but more a want; how often do you look at the speedo when roaring up to a corner on a track or on a hillclimb or in an autokhana. I know most racers don't, hence why alot of racecars dont even have speedos. :)

    Speedos are for when you're belting down the freeway and when in 5th rather than trying to do the maths in your head, you've got a easy reference! :p <-I'm not serious there btw :p

    I rarely look at the speedo.......>>

    Although on a few tracks with long straights I try and remember to glance at it. I was actually referring to the potential problem of what happens when you get past the end of the boost gauge and your speedo needle hits the little stop at zero? That is why I upgraded my speedo, down the front straight at Calder park I used to pull -5 on the boost gauge.
