After owning this car for 4 years, it finally works


Rule #1....don't ever assume something is broken just because it doesn't work



There are some long over due happenings that are going to be happening very soon to the old SSP

Sweet!!

I went ten+ years without a speedometer in my Capri.

Well, i basically assumed that it was always hooked up but that the speedo itself was busted or something. Then the other day i was poking around under the dash and saw the end of the cable hanging down. I've been under the dash 1000 times and never noticed it, and i just never had a reason other than that to pull out the dash cluster and since i thought it was broke i never bothered.

Now i just need to get the right speedo gear because with 4.10s it's about 20mph over what i'm really doing.

Nice! So how many times were you speeding when you thought you were doing the speed limit?

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Well i've had 4 years of driving without a speedo so i'm actually real good at judging my speed without it. Plus i've learned to use the tach as a speedo and i know that about 2200rpm is roughly 60mph so i usually cruise at about 2500rpm on the highway and that's usually right up to speed with everyone else so i know i'm going 65-70. I'm going tomorrow to the local speed shop and getting the right speedo gear so i won't have to guess it anymore.

We were driving around in my friends Sentra tonigt and the gauge lights don't work, so we duct taped a glow-stick to the dash so he could see them!!!
