145 mph speedo
MY speedo broke on my 91 RS, and I went to buy a new cluster ($40 off ebay) and it has the 110mph speedo like my old one does. I also got some reverse glow gauges, but they are for the 145mph speedo. My question is: should I shop for a 145mph speedo to use with the glow gauges, or should i get 110mph glow gauges to match the speedo?
Is there any way to convert a 110 to a 145? If so, how much?
Also, where might I find a 145, and how much would it be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated (since Im driving with no speedo right now)
Thank you for your time.

I have a hook up at the dealer for getting them rebuilt and doing the 145 swap too...

to change from a 110 to a 145 is an extra $35 or 40... I'll check

Its a dealership here in town, but they send the clusters to an outside source that does the work... If you want yours recalibrated and the 145 speedo, It will probably cost about $110 plus or minus $10.. I'll check on Monday.. you would have to send me your gauges and be without them for about 2 weeks...

That price is about 1/2 of what normal cost is and you will basically have a brand new set of gauges.... Those prices mean if none of your actual parts on yours is bad. If everything is in working order on yours and it just needs freshening up then let me know...

145mph speedo for 66 right now with 20 hours left. I've seen em go for 75 and less and be perfect.. This one isn't perfect, but i just went on and grabbed the first one i saw
Also, if u got the 145 speedo covers, it would look brand new (obviously).
EDIT!: Sorry, i didn't notice that u had a 91. That means electronic gauges. I was gonna pick up a 145 speedo from a junkyard, mint condition, and they were gonna give it to me for $15. Only problem was when i got to the car (totally stripped besides the gauges) i realized that it was electronic when i pulled the gauge out.
sooo.. if u look around u can get a cluster for a LOT less than $300

145 Mph speedos ive seen go from 50-250. All depends on who is on ebay at the time, i was gonna get one for my iroc but i dunno if i wanna work out that much money and really i doubt ill ever go over 115 for that matter.
Try looking around at junk yards or find someone who has one and doesnt know how much its worth.
