Lexus v8 with auto box... how to connect the speedo??

Post by 4agedub »

For those around here who has done this kind of conversion into a toyota or mitsubishi. How do you get the speedo working again?

I'm using the Lexus v8 with auto box in a 4x2 colt, the engine has a electronic speedo output, but my car has got a cable...

Het hom gesort gekry!!!!

My pa is tog so slim... agter op die lexus ratkas is 'n elektroniese speed sensor. My pa het daai sensor gestrip en 'n housing gedraai om al sy parte in te sit. Vanaf die housing 'n extention wat op die original electronic sensor se drive gear sit en buite 'n speedo cable se mounting thread.

Die colt se speedo kabel skroef dan daar vas en die middelste deel van die kabel gaan in die extention.

Nou die beste deel... die speedo is wel so bietjie uit, maar net 10km/h @ 120. Ek het nou nogal gedink dis baie windgat.
