Nah, orange on orange? Gots to have contrast. I say 2nd or 3rd if the 3rd one was more focused on the Z.

Here's a few oldie pics from last summer after cruising with a couple of my friends. I haven't cruised much this summer due to crazy gas prices, and the fact that my Z just loves sitting idle waiting for new parts. The last one is from the Temecula car show.

It's a Canada / Euro speedo w/ the KPH/MPH blacked out.

This is from my Canada Z: (the speedo would need to be re-calibrated to show the correct speed in MPH)

Nope. It actually has 18,600 miles and change. I still need to reset it to the correct mileage.

I had the speedo re-calibrated to MPH and just need to silkscreen the "MPH" letters back onto the face.

It's actually good up to about 150 mph before the calibration goes out too far.

Not according to the new MSA catalog, I got in the mail the other day. They have them on sale for $259.95 exactly the price. I would love to get one one day.

I might be interested in the speedo if you have it. I would love to get it calibrated to MPH. Does it also have the 6 digit odometer also? That would be friggin' sweet. Let me know if you can.

Yes, get a Canadian or Euro cluster and have it re-calibrated to mph.

I'm curious. How do they recalibrate the speedo? Or who can do it for that matter?
