Woooo black carpet. Why they ever did the weird tan and black thing I'll never know. If going to two-tone, grey matching the headliner would've been a lot better...

I've got a whole box of brand new KYB struts, mounts, boots, end links all staring at me asking "when are you going to have time to install us?"
It'll sure be nice too, because when it's this cold outside it's as if I'm bouncing around on just the springs. In the ice I lose traction every time the wind hits me. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

^To add to this, while installing the cluster it got caught on my speedo needle and pulled it off but didn't break it. After yelling a few words that shall not be repeated, I put it back on and now my car reads 60 km/h when I turn the key...how screwed am I?

Probably uber screwed. Similar thing happened to my brother's Maxima and he had to get a new cluster. Instead of being mechanical it was some kind of magnetized system, reminded me of how a compass is made.

I don't think you're too screwed you have to turn the key and take the needle out and reposition it at 0. It is under tension and is pulled past the resting pin when there is no power going to the cluster. So when you pulled the needle off you lost that tension, and to get it back you should have installed the needle behind the resting pin, but since you didn't uninstall it with the tension off(moving the needle over the resting pin and noting where the natural resting place was before removing the needle) the easiest way to zero it out is start the car and position the needle at 0 km/h. If the speedometer wasn't damaged you should be OK. |
