hey just wondering did any of the s2 fbs come with a cluster that didnt max out at "85" damn mph? im kinda jonezin to find out so i can try to buy one??

thanks,
sidney

 

83's got the 120mph speedo

 

+1 to this. Have had 82 ad 83.5

Not sure if all 83 have the 120 speedo, but if its an 83.5 with a big bearing rear end it should have the 120

 

Mine is an 83 gs w/ small bearing axle and has a 130mph speedo...says 120 but there is still 10 more clicks after it.

 

My S2 has an 85MPH cluster also, doesn't bother me.

I like to stick with the 180 clusters

 

+1 on the '83, the PO of my car changed it to an '83 cluster. the reason behind it being an 85 in 82 is because that was federally regulated. if you look at any car before '82, but after a certain year they will all max out at 85 on the speedo... idk why but thats how it is lol

 

my speedo is broke anyway so it doesnt matter for me

 

Federally regulated in 80, 81 and 82. Cars speedo read 85 mph. If you made a car with one that read faster it was fine. You just had to pay the gas guzzler's tax.

 

Just get a TOM TOM ;D

 

yes the 83 speedometer is what you seek. a later 84-85 speedo will not work in an 83.

 

haha forgot about this thread till just now when i was wondering what i was guna do with this stupid 85mph speedo hahaha thanks for the input now another question an 83 cluster is direct bolt in on 82's? if so ima steal my buddies out of his 83 parts car haha

thanks,
sidney

 

from what i understand it is, but i could be wrong lol the PO did it on mine long before i bought it.

 

i see lol i really would like one but dont wana mod anything inside the dash i already have a crap ton of stuff im doing to the car already its not worth it if i gota mod it

 

yea its a direct bolt in. speedo gear in the trans may be different as well so snag that just in case.

 

All them the same SA to FB. Cant verify a -SE but all the others are 1024 revolutions per mile.

 

alright thanks guys!
