It's got a Speedo.... The RSM in the middle (Adjustable, so I calculated the speeds based on the gearing). It's 100% spot on - according to the 40 km/h Shaken test..

I had a little trouble last time persuading them I couldn't reset the "Trip" meter and it was actually the true odometer now in use....They let it go through (Because they couldn't cause it to reset either!)

It's actually recently reset itself somehow (I've still got no idea how to do it, honestly!) so I need to put on 3,000 km or so over the next 10 months. That's no hardship. A few trips to do some drift Matsuri's this summer at Ebisu Track will see to that, lol

If the worst comes to the worst, I can always fit a standard instrument cluster in 30 minutes or so. It'll just plug straight in and I have to remove the electronic speedo drive and refit the speedo cable which is still zip tied out of the way, but in position

Funniest is getting it through emissions. Just pull an injector connector off slightly and raise the idle. Voila - An air pump to dilute the nasty gases from use of 304 cams. Easy peasy!
