With regard to the Calibration, I agree that it is going to be reading incorrectly. But if anything isnt the reading always going to be more than your actually doing(technically not a bad thing)
for example in a car that has 10-130 readings the Vertical position is 70mph.
In the 10-140 dial the vertical position is 75mph'ish.
Isn't the speedometer alway going to move relative to what the cable is pulsing to the meters.
Hence my obvious example. Or is it more complex than that?

Corsa_GSi, the code is on the speedo, under the white dials.

It will be electric speedo I would say for both so thats alright, you just need to have the right calibrations.

People who want a speedo in a 1.2 8v normally go and get them out of the SRi, so that means the SRi is running the right calibration for the 1.2 8v, the 1.6 GSi isnt, so you will get inaccrate readins unless you are willing to pay a bit of dollar to get it re-calibrated.

The speedo is cable driven, I can't see any marking or codes on the speedo anywhere.

Whitter45: Jimmersri is having these at the moment, but if its not gonna be suitable for his car and he doesn't want them i'll U2U ya.

is the ls the basic :boggle: different dials would mean it would b reading the wrong speed i think


jimmersri

posted on 25th Feb 03 at 11:16

so are u telling me that they wont work on my ls as they only go up to 130mph? i thought that wouldnt have made any difference as the both start at 10mph

also you need to know if its a cable driven speedo or flybywire one


Makarus

You need to remember the codes are different for the different clocks out of different cars.

The code on the bottom of the speedo relate to the calibration of the speedo and rev counter etc. If its a different code then it will be out, and especially going from a SRi to a GSi its completly different.

If you go for different ones then you will need to get them re-calibrated.

ok, i'll have to wait until thursday before i send the money as thats when i get paid. How did you alter it?


c0r5a_gsi

posted on 24th Feb 03 at 23:04

you would need to alter the milometer to match yours, which is pretty simple if its done in the same way as the digidash is.
They should go straight into your corsa, also good for people who don't have a rev counter, as I beleive you just hook up a green wire from behind the dash, and the rev counter should work.
Call it £30 inc P+P ?


jimmersri

posted on 24th Feb 03 at 22:45

would the mileage stay the same if i swapped them over? would they fit onto a 1994 corsa if so very interested. £25? i really don't know


c0r5a_gsi

posted on 24th Feb 03 at 22:21

I have my clocks from my GSi lying about since I put in the digidash so I thought I might aswell sell them :D

They have a white dial kit fitted, and the needles are flame red ;)
At night the dials illuminate red, and then where the rev counter redlines it goes green, and fuel running it goes green... etc.


There is a small scratch by the thing to reset the trip counter, but its not really noticable when in the car.


Offers?
