i'm fitting a focus rs box into a mk2 fiesta, what clocks can i use that operate off the speedo sensor in the box?
i'm getting short of cash, so the cheaper the better relaly, somethign standard looking is what i'm after or i'll get rid of my current setup and go for individual gauges.

 

The problem would be calibration if using other than the RS gearing ?, ie you can't adjust std clocks.

I have been looking at some aftermarket ones, might have to be the route to take.

 

still no luck with this yet, anyone know of anything suitible at a reasonable price that i coul duse, even ifit means changing all the clocks.

cheers

have a word with crazycage mate im positive he using standard rs turbo clocks still with his

 

i'll shout him tomorrow, if that is the case i'll fit the full dash into mine somehow.

 

bump this as i've not got a reply from gary's PM

 

There are also numerous electric to mechanical speedometer adapters. Something like the cable-x:

does depend on cost and i can't find that info.
i'd love to change speedo and tachometer really, but that will cost around £300 for autometer or smith ones as i like the analogue look rather than cheap small digital items.
if a standard bit if kit could be grafted into dash that would be good, but changing to programable would have its benefits.

 

just done search into cable x, would cost just over £200, another £100 and i could have good aftermarket gauges that have stepper motors for accuracy.

 

i have a stack speedo in mine ,but not used it yet cars off the road for some big mods.
go on demon tweeks site its less than 200 quid.

 

thats one of the next things on my list gary im sure youl be using yours before i use my tho

 

i have no real plans to use mine this year mate , turning my garage into a workshop with all new kit is cleaning me out mate.

 

oh right fairynuff mate,will be a shame not to see your rippin up the strip tho,you got anything you want to sell me then lol ill hopefully be over sometime soon anyways and itl be sweet once your all set up with a nice workshop at home mate

 

i did decide to go for aftermarket, got my eye on a smith one, but stack or autometer are runners up if cheap enough.
as i'll replace speedo and tacho at the same time to give it a nicer look and make the readings more accurate.
