Ok, what inputs drive the speedo and HUD? Is the speedo mechanical? I haven't ever had my cluster out. Kinda need to know.....I'm wondering if I can damage the analog speedo at excessive speed due to overtravel. I gotta beat Turtle'* 136 when my chip gets here.

As far as I know.. it'* electronic. As for peggin the speedo needle... I asked about it earlier and the response I got was that it'* ok... and not as if you'll be driving around at 136+ miles for long anways...

The PCM provides 4000 pulses per mile to the instrument cluster and the HUD. The instrument panel converts the speed signals to mechanical movement. I don't know if burying the needle will hurt it or not, but I doubt it.

how close is everyone'* HUD to their speedo?

mine is pretty close +/- 1 mph

Mine is +/- 1mph at 100. Below 50, they're dead on.

Mine is wacked !!! At 73 kmh on the HUD.. it'* close to 78 kmh.. and above 110.. it takes a while longer.. the HUD can display it at 112 kmh.. and it'* running 110 on the gauge.. and the HUD can say 118 kmh and the needle will point to 112-113 kmh... it doesn't match up till its either 110 or 120 kmh...

My HUD is about 1.5 mph higher than the speedometer.

For those of you wondering, unlike many passenger cars (like Hondas, for instance) our speedometers are dead-on accurate, even at triple digits (don't ask me how I found this out :P).

And the HUD should be more accurate than the speedo, seeing as it is taking the direct inputs from the VSS.

I guess I'm missing sumthin' or just stupid, whats a HUD?

Head up display. Speedo and other stuff projected on the windsheild. 92 and up SSE and SSEi.
