Make sure you dont use one another's toothbrush by mistake. You might pass on the mod-crazy-sickness to him as well.

There's a "METER" fuse next to the kickpanel that feeds the entire gauge cluster... If some of your other gauges are working (oil, temp), it may be a wiring issue.

You guy are lucky to have dads like this

Not that my dad is bad in anyway, but it would be just that much better if I could share a Homestead track event with him

Mine is the red one, with slightly more mileage (140k to be exact with about 15k on new motor), so Im going to get him the reliability mods ofcourse and they from there move on.

Anyone have an idea on the Tach, Speedo, and Odometer?

That's really neat that you can share something like that with your father. My dad is a "senior citizen" now, so he drives at least 10mph under the speed limit. My RX-7 makes him nauseous (rough suspension/rich smell).

Nice! I picked my dad up from dropping his Passat off at the dealer this morning. He hadn't been in the FD yet. He thought the ride was too rough. lol. He has a Miata as well, and prefers that over the FD.
