Now this is interesting considering my 84GSL looks exactly like the Idea Man's! With 140 speedo.

Now my 80RX Dash Looks like the other image. Hmm!!!

Man you guys are so lucky, I have the stupid 85 mph speedometer on my 80. Does anyone know what a good replacement speedometer would be?
isnt the S2 speedometer a direct replacement for the S1??

for 80 cars you can use a 79 speedo

for the 81-82 cars you can use an 83 speedo, i think they changed the lighting in 81, but i'm not 100%

What do the gauges on an 83 look like? Mine is an 84 and looks like this.

Those are 83 guages.I hate not getting aftermarket guages for this dash. :rant: Oh well stock looks OK!

So if the Aussie 84's and 85's (series 3) got the 83 dash and our series 4 (86-87?) was the gen 2, we must have never seen the other dash at all unless we'd got usa imports. That kind of sucks.

Would you guys be interested in a dash kit for around $120 plus S$H? Because I might be able to help us 83 owners out.

Not me right now anyways.I need to spend money into suspension first.But a new clutch is more important to me too.

I would be interested, if you can get pics and stuff that would be good too. The only thing is can you get it to me in Australia? and i suppose thats US$120 meaning about AUS$250.
