160-180mph speedos
Question,
Is it possible to put a 180mph speedo gauge cluster in an earlier 944 turbo that originally came with the 160mph speedo gauge cluster? They do have different part numbers. Would the speed indicated if changed be wrong? Your thoughts please.

The spedometer actually reads 171mph (or 270kpr) if you look closely.
You can have the speedometer gauge recalibrated ($30-$80) and have it replaced to the 180mph (300kpr) or higher speed (from the 959) and calibrated to that speed for an extra $30 from North Hollywood Speedo Gauges.
I had my gauge recalibrated, and reads spot on as my GPS IIRC.

Now that you mention it, they did do color changes as well. I would advise against that unless you were going to do all your gauges their way. others won't match. I've heard they do unbelievable work on the colors too. Any color you want. They were too pricey for me to though. just to recalibur the gauge wasn't much though.
