Your name is the sound of my poop as it hits the toilet.

I read perfectly fine

You need to learn how to read. The keyword was NEED. Why does he NEED it?

But of course if someone wants to put a giant tachometer on their car, that's rice in the Cobalt community but when someone wants to put a Speedometer to a speed limit that they'll never reach, it's totally fine cause it's for appearances.

Makes sense.

I think he wants it for the different color, not the number 140. Way too much trouble for a different color face gauge if you ask me, but might be a fun challenge to get it to work right.

It's for the white face. GM didn't make a 120 MPH speedo with a white face.

That would be me. It was more of a joke actually.

Your explaination makes more sense, hence, why I was asking why you needed it but it's less about appearance and MORE about cost cause I know I had black cat make me a set for my Sunfire.

Flame ended.

Oh darn...durka deleted his post...

I'll still reply anyways

I'm not even close to being on here 24/7 but I'm on here to help for the most part, not to flame.

But I see you must be on long enough to know I'm "on 24/7" huh?

Stalker.

i did it over a year ago... its never failed to work and was easy to install. altho the only thing was i had to turn the car on then off then on to get it set at zero on the speedo and tach since they were a lil low but that wasnt even starting the car just giving it power then turn it to off n wait for the needles to drop then turned it on again altho u may not have to do that. took me less than 20 minutes to do

oh and btw... the speeds read the same and all of that. i know the rpm to speed with the 120 cluster and it was the same when i put the 140 cluster in. i liked the 140 cuz it is white and when the lites are on it has a smoked background which is one of the reasons i got it, and cuz the numbers are bigger lol but i knew it wouldnt set the limiters any different but yes itll work and read the same so go for the install
