I'm sure it looks nice, but the links are dead.

If you became a member they won't be.

So if you reverse the polarity of the leads on that wall charger, does time move backwards?

If so I'd recommend winding it back about 10 years or so and making some strategic investments in some long-hoods and 993TTs.

Just got back from the way back. Couldn't find the thread when I was back there. Which means reverse polarity must've worked...

Just a couple of hours or even minutes and a few financial options strategies would work, too

Oh... Well, at least it reminds me that I have to sell my extra set of gauges

Later today we'll have an unplugging ceremony when it hits 112,773 miles.

Huh, never knew you could do that.
Cool.

So I'm curious. If 12V signal tops this thing at 60 miles per hour, what type of signal does the speedometer get to indicate higher speed. And where does this higher voltage come from? Are they using some sort of step-up transformer in the sender unit?

Not sure. But when I lowered the voltage to 9V, the speed went down to 25-30MPH. I did not want to increase it, because I was afraid I might fry the board and speedometers are spendy. I also tried connecting an additional 12V source to the other pins but that didn't seem to change the speed.
