Hey dood,
With your speedo and tacho, how did you get it do give you the correct readings, or have you not fixed/calibrated it yet ?
I did a 1g conversion into my ra65 and the speedo is stuffed.. Called up a mechanic and he wanted $150 to fix it for me. Is this reasonable/correct?
Thanks

 UPDATE!!

As alot of you know, the car is being rebuilt. So far it is a bar shell, with all the rust holes welded up and almost ready for a respray. I completed the engine bay wiring, and now there is not 1 wire that runs between the chassis loom and the motor (there is no chassis loom anymore  ), and hidden all the wiring. The door locks have been removed, and ive made a cable boot release. Also, removed all the shit factory items off the motor, to make way for the MoTec. Done some more weight reduction by taking out the rest of the sound deadening (tar) shit, and any wiring that is usless, and the anchor of a rear parcel shelf.
If i figure out how to put up pics, i will obviously put a heap up!!
